RESEARCH
INTEREST
Since no external pressure is applied in this case,
forward osmosis (FO)
has the potential to lower the energy input in water
treatment processes. However, the fouling, especially
biofouling still remains one of the severest problems in FO
applications and needs to be further addressed.
In my research, different strategies have been used to
develop a built-in anti-fouling mechanism in FO membranes.
FO membranes with anti-biofouling property were prepared by
incorporating with silver nanoparticles due to their
broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. Meanwhile, by
introducing the electrochemical property, membranes are
expected to be with anti-fouling property. |
