Looking for experiments/experiences where forward osmosis is coupled with membrane distillation to improve overall water recovery or separate draw solution from the treated water?
Veera and I conducted research work on MD while conducting our Postdoc at NMSU. The project was funded by a private Company and had publication restriction. Parallel to that, we published a MD review article and also an article on MD removal of As, U, and F from brackish water. I recently published a comprehensive review article on MD. The article has a section related to MD applications, including MD-RO. If you are interested, you can send me your e-mail and I will send you a copy of the two articles. You may want to consider ED as well. I have been conducting research work on MD and ED, ED/EDM. Regards.
MD process cab be coupled with pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) rather than FO in the application of osmotic power generation, where PRO also uses FO membranes to perform the separation!
