On the understanding and feasibility of “Breakthrough” Osmosis (2019)
Journal Article
Wu, J. J., & Field, R. W. (2019). On the understanding and feasibility of “Breakthrough” Osmosis. Scientific Reports, 9(1), Article 16464. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-53417-6

Osmosis is the movement of solvent across a permselective membrane induced by a solute-concentration gradient. Now in ‘Forward Osmosis’ it is empirically observed that the diffusion of the solute is counter to that of the solvent i.e. there is so-cal...

On the application of the Spiegler-Kedem model to forward osmosis (2019)
Journal Article
Wu, J. J. (2019). On the application of the Spiegler-Kedem model to forward osmosis. BMC chemical engineering, 1, Article 15. https://doi.org/10.1186/s42480-019-0014-8

In Forward Osmosis the diffusion of the solute is counter to that of the solvent i.e. there is so-called “reverse salt diffusion”. Furthermore, the ratio of the two fluxes is generally taken to be a constant because of the assumption of ideal semi-pe...
