Abstract
Abstract
The development of highly efficient separation membranes utilizing emerging materials with controllable pore size and minimized thickness could greatly enhance the broad applications of membrane-based technologies. Having this perspective, many studies on the incorporation of nanosheets in membrane fabrication have been conducted, and strong interest in this area has grown over the past decade. This article reviews the development of nanosheet membranes focusing on two-dimensional materials as a continuous phase, due to their promising properties, such as atomic or nanoscale thickness and large lateral dimensions, to achieve improved performance compared to their discontinuous counterparts. Material characteristics and strategies to process nanosheet materials into separation membranes are reviewed, followed by discussions on the membrane performances in diverse applications. The review concludes with a discussion of remaining challenges and future outlook for nanosheet membrane technologies.

Abstract
Low permeability and chlorine resistance of normal thin-film composite (TFC) membranes restrict their practical applications in many fields. This study reports the preparation of a high chlorine-resistant TFC membrane for forward osmosis (FO) by incorporating corn stalk-derived N-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) into the selective polyamide (PA) layer to construct a polydopamine (PDA) sub-layer (PTFCCQD). Membrane modification is characterized by surface morphology, hydrophilicity, Zeta potential, and roughness. Results show that TFCCQD (without PDA pretreatment) and PTFCCQD membranes possess greater negative surface charges and thinner layer-thickness (less than 68 nm). With N-CQDs and PDA pretreatment, the surface roughness of the PTFCCQD membrane decreases significantly with the co-existence of microsized balls and flocs with a dense porous structure. With the variation of concentration and type of draw solution, the PTFCCQD membrane exhibits an excellent permeability with low J(reverse salt flux)/J(water flux) values (0.1-0.25) due to the enhancement of surface hydrophilicity and the shortening of permeable paths. With 16,000 ppm·h chlorination, reverse salt flux of the PTFCCQD membrane (8.4 g m-2 h-1) is far lower than those of TFCCQD (136.2 g m-2 h-1), PTFC (127.6 g m-2 h-1), and TFC (132 g m-2 h-1) membranes in FO processes. The decline of salt rejection of the PTFCCQD membrane is only 8.2%, and the normalized salt rejection maintains 0.918 in the RO system (16,000 ppm·h chlorination). Super salt rejection is ascribed to the existence of abundant N-H bonds (N-CQDs), which are preferentially chlorinated by free chlorine to reduce the corrosion of the PA layer. The structure of the PA layer is stable during chlorination also due to the existence of various active groups grafted on the surface. This study may pave a new direction for the preparation of durable biomass-derivative (N-CQD)-modified membranes to satisfy much more possible applications.

Abstract
A sulfonated graphene oxide@metal-organic framework-modified forward osmosis nanocomposite (SGO@UiO-66-TFN) membrane was developed to improve stability and heavy metal removal performance. An in situ growth method was applied to uniformly distribute UiO-66 nanomaterial with a frame structure on SGO nanosheets to form SGO@UiO-66 composite nanomaterial. This nanomaterial was then added to a polyamide layer using interfacial polymerization. The cross-linking between SGO@UiO-66 and m-phenylenediamine improved the stability of the nanomaterial in the membrane. Additionally, the water permeability was improved because of additional water channels introduced by SGO@UiO-66. SGO, with its lamellar structure, and UiO-66, with its frame structure, made the diffusion path of the solute more circuitous, which improved the heavy metal removal and salt rejection performances. Moreover, the hydrophilic layer of the SGO@UiO-66-TFN membrane could block contaminants and loosen the structure of the pollution layer, ensuring that the membrane maintained a high removal rate. The water flux and reverse solute flux of the SGO@UiO-66-TFN membrane reached 14.77 LMH and 2.95 gMH, and compared with the thin-film composite membrane, these values were increased by 41 and 64%, respectively. The membrane also demonstrated a good heavy metal ion removal performance. In 2 h, the heavy metal ion removal rate (2000 ppm Cu2+ and Pb2+) was greater than 99.4%, and in 10 h the removal rate was greater than 97.5%.

Abstract
In this work, a novel study for acid mine drainage remediation and reutilization by means of a forward osmosis technology is addressed. The proposed process is a potential alternative path, which allows to recover high-quality water and to concentrate metals for its possible reutilization as synthetic minerals. This novel process will help in the mining industry evolving toward more sustainable processes and favors circular economy policies. Four inorganic salts (NaCl, KCl, CaCl2, and MgCl2) were evaluated as draw solutions from 1 to 5 M concentrations, in terms of water flux, water recovery, and metal rejection, using a thin-film composite (TFC) membrane. Water flux obtained was in the range of 14-53 L/(m2 h). The highest water flux was found for MgCl2, whereas the lowest correspond to KCl. The metal rejection obtained was greater than 99%. After a discussion and comparison of the results, MgCl2 was chosen for evaluating long-term assay performance. Scanning electron microscope images of the thin-film composite membrane after long-term assays were taken. The tendency of Mg-Ca and Al-Fe fouling was observed over the membrane surface. The energy consumption was estimated from 4.84-22.3 kWhe/m3, assuming that osmotically assisted reverse osmosis is used to regenerate the draw solution.

Abstract
Rational design of a high-performance defect-free polyamide (PA) layer on a robust ceramic substrate is challenging for forward osmosis (FO) water treatment applications. In this study, we first demonstrated a robust ceramic-based thin-film composite (TFC) FO membrane by engineering a novel nanocomposite interlayer of titanium dioxide and carbon nanotube (TiO2/CNT). The structural morphologies and properties were systematically characterized for different substrates (without interlayer, with TiO2 interlayer, or with TiO2/CNT interlayer) and the corresponding ceramic-based TFC-FO membranes. Introduction of low roughness nanocomposite interlayers with decreased pore size created an interface with improved surface characteristics, favoring the formation of a defect-free nanovoid-containing PA layer with high cross-linking degree. The resulting ceramic-based FO membrane had a water permeability of approximately 2 L/(m2 h bar) and a NaCl rejection of 98%, showing simultaneous enhancements in both compared to the control membrane without an interlayer. Mechanism analysis indicates that such a special nanocomposite interlayer not only provided more active sites for the formation of a thinner defect-free nanovoid-containing PA layer without penetration into substrate but also acted as a highly porous three-dimensional network structure for rapid water transport. This work provides a novel protocol for rational design and fabrication of a high-performance multilayered inorganic FO membrane as well as extended applications in water treatment with enhanced performance.

Abstract
Forward osmosis (FO) has become an evolving membrane separation technology to recover water due to its strong retention capacity, sustainable membrane fouling, etc. Although a good deal of research has been extensively investigated in the past decades, major challenges still remain as follows: (1) the novel FO membrane material properties, which significantly influence the fouling of the FO membranes, the intolerance reverse solute flux (RSF), the high concentration polarization (CP), and the low permeate flux; (2) novel draw solution preparation and utilization; (3) salinity build-up in the FO system; (4) the successful implementation of the FO process. This work critically reviews the last five years’ literature in development of the novel FO membrane material, structure in modification, and preparation, including comparison and analysis on the traditional and novel draw solutes coupled with their effects on FO performance; application in wastewater treatment, especially hybrid system and integrated FO system; fouling mechanism; and cleaning strategy as discussed in the literature. The current barriers of the research results in each hotspot and the areas that can be improved are also analyzed in detail. The research hotspots in the research and development of the novel membrane materials in various countries and regions have been compared in recent years, and the work of variation in pop research hotspots in the past 10 years has been analyzed and the ideas that fill the blank gaps also have been proposed.

Abstract
Abstract
In food processing, concentration of liquid food is one of the important steps required for several purposes. Concentration of liquid food while preserving sensorial and nutritional components is quite challenging, especially for thermal-based concentrating processes. This is due to the significant loss of those components which are heat sensitive. Therefore, considerable efforts have been devoted to develop new concentrating processes which can solve this problem. Among the developed processes, forward osmosis (FO) has been considered as an interesting alternative since it can be operated at low operating pressure and temperature and obtain a concentrated solution with high solid contents. However, there are several challenges in FO operation e.g. fouling phenomena, concentration polarization, and reverse diffusion of solution from draw solution. To address these issues, several developments have been made to prepare membrane which has high hydrophilicity, low fouling tendency, reduced concentration polarization, and low solute diffusion. The desired membrane has been obtained, for example, by modifying selective and support layers of the membrane. This paper reviews advances in FO membrane, including membrane preparation and modification. Principle and important parameters of FO in concentrating liquid foods are overviewed. In addition, challenges and strategies in FO membrane preparation are discussed.

Abstract
Forward osmosis (FO) is an emerging approach in water treatment, but its application is restricted by severe internal concentration polarization (ICP) and low flux. In this work, a self-sustained carbon nanotube hollow fiber scaffold supported polyamide thin film composite (CNT TFC-FO) membrane was first proposed with high porosity, good hydrophilicity and excellent electro-conductivity. It showed a specific structure parameter as low as 126 μm, suggesting its weakened ICP. Against a pure water feed using 2.0 M NaCl draw solution, its fluxes were 4.7 and 3.6 times as high as those of the commercial cellulose triacetate TFC-FO membrane in the FO and pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) modes, respectively. Meanwhile, the membrane showed excellent electrically assisted resistance to organic and microbial fouling. Its flux was improved by about 50% during oil-water simulation separation under 2.0 V voltage. These results indicate that the CNT TFC-FO membrane opens up a frontier for stably and effectively recycling potable water from electrochemical FO process.

Abstract
Stacked graphene (GE) membranes with cascading nanoslits can be synthesized economically compared to monolayer nanoporous GE membranes, and have potential for molecular separation. This study focuses on investigating the seawater desalination performance of these stacked GE layers as forward osmosis (FO) membranes by using molecular dynamics simulations. The FO performance is evaluated in terms of water flux and salt rejection and is explained by analysing the water density distribution and radial distribution function. The water flow displays an Arrhenius type relation with temperature and the activation energy for the stacked GE membrane is estimated to be 8.02 kJ mol-1, a value much lower than that of commercially available FO membranes. The study reveals that the membrane characteristics including the pore width, offset, interlayer separation distance and number of layers have significant effects on the desalination performance. Unlike monolayer nanoporous GE membranes, at an optimum layer separation distance, the stacked GE membranes with large pore widths and completely misaligned pore configuration can retain complete ion rejection and maintain a high water flux. Findings from the present study are helpful in developing GE-based membranes for seawater desalination via FO.

Abstract
The development of suitable draw solution in forward osmosis (FO) process has attracted the growing attention for water treatment purpose. In this study, a series of organic phosphonate salts (OPSs) are synthesized by one-step Mannich-like reaction, confirmed by FTIR and NMR characterizations, and applied as novel draw solutes in FO applications. Their solution properties including osmotic pressures and viscosities, as well as their FO performance as a function of the solution concentration are investigated systematically. In FO process, a higher water flux of 47-54 LMH and a negligible reverse solute flux can be achieved in the PRO (AL-DS) mode (active layer faces the draw solution) using a homemade thin-film composite membrane (PSF-TFC) and deionized water as the feed solution. Among all OPS draw solutes, the tetraethylenepentamine heptakis(methylphosphonic) sodium salt (TPHMP-Na) exhibits the best FO flux at 0.5 mol/kg concentration, which is further applied for the separation of emulsified oil-water mixture. The recovery of diluted OPS solutions is carried out via a nanofiltration (NF) system with a rejection above 92%. The aforementioned features show the great potential of OPS compounds as a novel class of draw solutes for FO applications.

Abstract
The concept of using a thermoresponsive ionic liquid (IL) with an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) as a draw solute in forward osmosis (FO) was successfully demonstrated here experimentally. A 3.2 M solution of protonated betaine bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([Hbet][Tf2N]) was obtained by heating and maintaining the temperature above 56 °C. This solution successfully drew water from high-salinity water up to 3.0 M through FO. When the IL solution cooled to room temperature, it spontaneously separated into a water-rich phase and an IL-rich phase: the water-rich phase was the produced water that contained a low IL concentration, and the IL-rich phase could be used directly as the draw solution in the next cycle of the FO process. The thermal stability, thermal-responsive solubility, and UV-vis absorption spectra of the IL were also studied in detail.

Abstract
This review focuses on the present status of forward osmosis (FO) niches in two main areas: seawater desalination and wastewater reuse. Specific applications for desalination and impaired-quality water treatment and reuse are described, as well as the benefits, advantages, challenges, costs and knowledge gaps on FO hybrid systems are discussed. FO can play a role as a bridge to integrate upstream and downstream water treatment processes, to reduce the energy consumption of the entire desalination or water recovery and reuse processes, thus achieving a sustainable solution for the water-energy nexus. FO hybrid membrane systems showed to have advantages over traditional membrane process like high pressure reverse osmosis and nanofiltration for desalination and wastewater treatment: (i) chemical storage and feed water systems may be reduced for capital, operational and maintenance cost, (ii) water quality is improved, (iii) reduced process piping costs, (iv) more flexible treatment units, and (v) higher overall sustainability of the desalination and wastewater treatment process. Nevertheless, major challenges make FO systems not yet a commercially viable technology, the most critical being the development of a high flux membrane, capable of maintaining an elevated salt rejection and a reduced internal concentration polarization effect, and the availability of appropriate draw solutions (cost effective and non-toxic), which can be recirculated via an efficient recovery process. This review article highlights the features of hybrid FO systems and specifically provides the state-of-the-art applications in the water industry in a novel classification and based on the latest developments toward scaling up these systems.
