The emerging thin film composite (TFC) forward osmosis (FO) and pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) membranes generally have better separation properties compared with their cellulose triacetate (CTA) counterparts. Nevertheless, their scaling performance has been rarely reported. In the current study, t...
