© 2020. A Forward Osmosis (FO) membrane was fabricated using a locally available material nata de coco (NDC) to form a bacterial cellulose (BC) film. Sodium alginate was used to form composites with the BC film. Two concentrations (10% and 15%) of cross-linking agent, CaCl2, were compared in terms o...
