Osmosis or forward osmosis (FO) is a natural process for water transfer through a semi-permeable membrane under an osmotic pressure gradient across the membrane. Recently there has been a renewed interest in osmotically driven membrane processes (ODMPs) as a potential means of desalination, dewateri...
