Generation Of Potable Water Using Forward Osmosis

Abstract

Forward osmosis (FO) represents a tremendous and untapped opportunity with the
potential to solve the global water crisis. The biggest challenge facing the application of FO
technology is the economical separation of drinking water from its draw solution. In my
dissertation, I intent to come up with a proposal on energy-and-cost effective combination of
Draw solution and recovery method for the generation of potable water from waste water.
