The research highlights on forward osmosis (FO) technology at the International Forward Osmosis Symposium (IFOS2016) in Sydney by the end of 2016 are summarized. For FO membrane materials
reduction in the structure parameter of the support layer
rather than the increase of the permeability of the active separation layer
is the key to improve the FO flux. Overall
the improvement in the rejection and antifouling properties is the key factor for high performance membrane. For draw solutes
inorganic salts appear to be the most promising candidates. Osmotic dilution and hybrid processes with other separation technologies for treating high salinity wastewater remain the main potential application. Unfortunately
in a short term
FO based salinity power generation is not competitive to other new energy alternatives.
