EVALUATION OF THIN FILM COMPOSITE FORWARD OSMOSIS MEMBRANES: EFFECT OF POLYMER TYPE

In the forward osmosis (FO) processes, the semipermeable membranes are used. These membranes are prepared from several types of polymers. In this research, the characterizations of each polymer were studied to conversance the effect of polymer type on the efficiency of the forward osmosis process. T...
