Sustainable solvents are a topic of growing interest in both the research community and the
chemical industry due to a growing awareness of the impact of solvents on pollution, energy …

Despite the impressive progress in forward osmosis (FO) membranes and pilot scale testing
of FO process, lack of draw solutes that can be efficiently regenerated is still a limiting factor …

Forward osmosis (FO) is a membrane separation technique used to recover water from feed
solution (FS) across a semi-permeable membrane, using a concentrated draw solution (DS) …

An operational advantage that enables the deployment of technologies for the valorization of
CO2 can be achieved through the integration of the capture and conversion technologies. In …

The switchable polarity solvent (SPS) 1-cyclohexylpiperidine (CHP) was demonstrated as a
viable draw solute for osmotically driven membrane processes. The SPS draw solution was …

Ionic liquid (IL)-water mixtures can exhibit a lower critical solution temperature (LCST)
transition, but changes in long-range order and local molecular environment during this …

We provide ab initio and density functional theory evidence for a family of surprisingly robust
like-charged clusters of common HSO4–and H2PO4–oxyanions, ranging up to tetramers of …

Forward osmosis (FO) has emerged as a new technology for desalination and exhibits
potentials for applications where reverse osmosis is incapable or uneconomical for treating …

Forward osmosis (FO) technology has long been constrained by the slow development of
appropriate draw solutes (DS) and the relatively high cost associated with DS recovery. In …

CO 2 reduction to syngas provides a way of ameliorating carbon footprint and storing energy
in high-energy-density and versatile feedstock. This current work explores the isothermal …
