To develop high-flux and high-rejection forward osmosis (FO) membranes for water reuses
and seawater desalination, we have fabricated polybenzimidazole (PBI) nanofiltration (NF) …

For the first time, the potential of polybenzimidazole (PBI) nanofiltration membrane as a
forward osmosis membrane has been investigated. PBI was chosen mainly because of its …

We have demonstrated in this work the prospect of dual-layer polybenzimidazole-
polyethersulfone (PBI-PES) nanofiltration (NF) hollow fiber membranes in the forward …

The development of high-performance and well-constructed thin-film composite (TFC)
hollow fiber membranes for forward osmosis (FO) applications is presented in this study. The …

This study investigates a new approach to fabricate thin-film composite (TFC) hollow fiber
membranes via interfacial polymerization for forward osmosis (FO) applications. Different …

Polybenzimidazole (PBI) is a material with excellent chemical resistance, and thermal and
mechanical stabilities. However, significant drawbacks of PBI that prevent its use as a …

A novel dual-layer forward osmosis (FO) hollow fiber membrane has been designed and
successfully fabricated by using a triple orifice spinneret. The fiber consists of two layers …

One of the major barriers that hinder the application of forward osmosis (FO) processes is
the lack of optimized membranes that possess high water flux, low salt leakage and good …

Forward osmosis (FO) has received considerable interest for water-and energy-related
applications in recent years. FO does not require an applied pressure and is believed to …

Appropriate membranes are crucial to maximize the potential of forward osmosis (FO) in
water treatment. In this study, high-performance and well-constructed thin-film composite …
