Abstract:
Forward osmosis (FO) process has gained vast popularity in recent years. FO has the
potential advantages of low energy demand, insignificant membrane fouling, and as result rare membrane
cleaning is required [1]. Despite that nowadays different research groups from around the world [2]
working on development of highly productive membranes for direct osmosis process, water flux of FO
membranes is far away from water flux of reverse osmosis membranes. With reference to that it can be
claimed that development of the new generation of forward osmosis membrane is of high importance.
