Forward osmosis (FO) membranes have potential for the efficient water and wastewater
treatment applications. However, their development has faced significant challenges due to …

Highlights What are the main findings? The current study establishes that banyan tree leaf-
derived B-GQD-incorporated thin-film composite membranes with a SBS NFM substrate …

The major challenges in forward osmosis (FO) are low water flux, high specific reverse
solute flux (SRSF), and membrane fouling. The present work addresses these problems by …

Synergistic fouling effects between proteins and polysaccharides in forward osmosis (FO)
and the related thermodynamic mechanisms were studied at the molecular level. Two …

Calcium alginate (Ca-Alg) is a novel target product for recovering alginate from aerobic
granular sludge. A novel Ca-Alg production method was proposed herein where Ca-Alg was …
