Recent Developments and Future Challenges of Hydrogels as Draw Solutes in Forward Osmosis Process

Forward osmosis (FO) has been recently regarded as a promising water treatment technology due to its lower energy consumption and lower membrane fouling propensity compared to the reverse osmosis (RO). The absence of suitable draw solute constraints the wide-range application of the FO. Hydrogels ar...
