Forward Osmosis as a Pre-treatment to Reverse Osmosis
This paper presents some aspects of forward osmosis coupled with reverse osmosis using a recirculating draw solution, to produce desalinated water or for dewatering/concentrating a feed stream, with some data provided from a number of operational sites. Many of these aspects are applicable to other osmotic processes and provide an insight into where they may be appropriately considered. A compa...
متن کاملForward Osmosis Brine Drying
The Forward Osmosis Brine Drying (FOBD) system is based on a technique called forward osmosis (FO). FO is a membrane-based process where the osmotic potential between brine and a salt solution is equalized by the movement of water from the brine to the salt solution. The FOBD system is composed of two main elements, the FO bag and the salt regeneration system. This paper discusses the results o...
متن کاملEffect of Step Length and Step Period on Walking Speed and Energy Consumption: a Parameter Study
Stability and performance are two main issues in motion of bipeds. To ensure stability of motion, a biped needs to follow specific pattern to comply with a stability criterion such as zero moment point. However, there are infinity many patterns of motion which ensure stability, so one might think of achieving better performance by choosing proper parameters of motion. Step length and step perio...
متن کاملComparison of the removal of hydrophobic trace organic contaminants by forward osmosis and reverse osmosis.
We compared the rejection behaviours of three hydrophobic trace organic contaminants, bisphenol A, triclosan and diclofenac, in forward osmosis (FO) and reverse osmosis (RO). Using erythritol, xylose and glucose as inert reference organic solutes and the membrane pore transport model, the mean effective pore size of a commercial cellulose-based FO membrane was estimated to be 0.74 nm. When NaCl...
متن کاملinfluence of air flow recirculation on energy consumption and efficiency in a solar dryer
a mixed solar dryer with a specific mechanism to vary the tilted angle of collector, is utilized to fulfill all tests. the efficiency of the dryers is low because of various reasons such as heat loss of air in an open flow circuit. getting air back toward the air inlet of dryer can increase the efficiency of dryer and decrease drying process period. a new mechanism considered for dryer which co...
