The textile industry is one of the largest water consumers, and, as a result of its activity, it generates tons of wastewater. In this research, forward osmosis has been employed to tackle the critical need of treating textile wastewater. The HFFO2 membrane (Aquaporin) was used to process large volumes of real cotton dyeing wastewater, wool dyeing wastewater, and several types of textile end-of-pipe wastewater.

- The review examines the nutrient-rich effluents from manure and digestate, highlighting their potential to be processed using membrane technology, despite challenges like fouling caused by various compounds.
- It provides a detailed overview of the physical and chemical properties of manure and digestates, as well as solid-liquid separation methods and factors affecting these processes.
- The paper also discusses key operating conditions for membrane systems and presents strategies for managing fouling, as well as methods for recovering valuable nutrients like ammonia and phosphorus from farm effluents.
Swine manure is a valuable source of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. After solid-liquid separation, the resulting swine wastewater can be concentrated by reverse osmosis (RO) to produce a nitrogen-potassium rich fertilizer. However, swine wastewater has a high fouling potential and an efficient cleaning strategy is required.
