Engineering Committee of the Environmental Council of the
Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE. Forward
Osmosis: Fundamentals and Applications presents the principles and
implementation challenges of low-energy desalination technology for
producing potable and nonpotable water. In forward osmosis (FO), a
saline feed solution passes through a semipermeable membrane toward
a draw solution; water then may be separated from the draw
solution. Although FO technology has advanced in recent years, much
work remains to be done to develop suitable membranes and draw
solutions that can easily and efficiently produce drinking water.
Written by leading experts from around the world, this book
describes the basic concepts of FO technology and discusses
modeling and element design. Several different types of draw
solution are explored, and recently developed FO membranes are
assessed. The physical, chemical, and biological aspects of
membrane fouling are examined. A variety of FO applications are
explored, including desalination, water reclamation, membrane
bioreactors, mining wastewater, fertigation, and landfill leachate.
The removal of pollutants, such as emerging contaminants, boron,
and heavy metals, is also addressed. Contributors also critically
assess the limitations of specific FO technologies and suggest ways
of overcoming these limitations. This book on the use of forward
osmosis for clean water will be an essential reference for water
and environmental engineering practitioners, as well as
environmental managers, government officials, and students.
