Abstract:Several hybrid Forward osmosis (FO) systems for seawater and brackish water desalination have been developed in recent years. This study investigates two approaches of integrated systems comprising brackish water reverse osmosis desalination (BWRO) and forward osmosis (FO) systems. These approaches aim to minimize the environmental effect of inland reject brine disposal while enhancing total water recovery. Experiments were performed using different draw solution (DS) concentrations of KCl and MgCl2.6H2O (0.5,… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
