Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how forward osmosis (FO) membranes can be applied to cultivate microalgae, highlighting their potential for low energy consumption during the concentration process.
- It examines the fouling characteristics of the FO membrane by comparing two modes: active-layer-facing-feed-solution (AL-FS) and active-layer-facing-draw-solution (AL-DS), finding that AL-DS experiences more rapid flux decline due to various fouling mechanisms.
- Chemical cleaning of the membrane in AL-DS mode resulted in higher concentrations of certain foulants, such as polysaccharides and proteins, compared to physical cleaning, indicating more complex fouling interactions in this orientation.
