Summary
This book discusses designing and implanting the forward osmosis (FO) process in various types of treatment and applications. It summarizes the start-up effort in installing new materials, methods, or technological efforts in improving the FO process in removing conventional and… emerging pollutants from wastewater sources. It includes case studies submitted to policymakers in connection with remedies and solutions emerging as treatment or separation techniques involving the FO process. It reviews advances in the field of standalone and hybrid FO processes in wastewater treatment in varied industries.Features: Evaluates forward osmosis (FO)-based treatment techniques currently available for wastewater pollutant treatment. Gives an in-depth account and analysis of advanced materials and methods, particularly membrane and draw solutes and methods for FO process for the separation and treatment of wastewater. Covers advanced materials in the field of emerging pollutants and emerging materials and methods available to treat the same. Attempts to forecast the future of the FO process in large and industrial-scale wastewater treatment applications. Reviews advancements in desalination and associated wastewater treatment using standalone and hybrid FO processes. This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in wastewater, environmental, and civil engineering.
