Analysis of the influence of module construction upon forward osmosis performance (2017)
Journal Article
Field, R., Siddiqui, F., Ang, P., & Wu, J. (2018). Analysis of the influence of module construction upon forward osmosis performance. Desalination, 431, 151-156. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.desal.2017.09.003

The potential of a commercial forward osmosis (FO) module to recover water from NEWater brine, an RO retentate, was assessed by taking an innovative approach to obtaining the mass transfer coefficients. The performance comparison of the spiral wound... Read More about Analysis of the influence of module construction upon forward osmosis performance.

Novel Approach for Sizing Forward Osmosis Membrane Systems (2017)
Journal Article
Mondal, S., Field, R., & Wu, J. (2017). Novel Approach for Sizing Forward Osmosis Membrane Systems. Journal of Membrane Science, 541, 321-328. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.memsci.2017.07.019

Analytical solutions for sizing ideal Forward Osmosis membrane systems are developed for both co-current and counter-current flow configurations. They are integral solutions of the mass balance equations, including the one representing transfer acros... Read More about Novel Approach for Sizing Forward Osmosis Membrane Systems.

Does regional loss of bone density explain low trauma distal forearm fractures in men (The Mr F study)? (2017)
Journal Article
Hanusch, B., Tuck, S., McNally, R., Wu, J., Datta, H., & Francis, R. (2017). Does regional loss of bone density explain low trauma distal forearm fractures in men (The Mr F study)?. Osteoporosis International, 28(10), 2877-2886. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00198-017-4122-0

Summary The pathogenesis of low trauma wrist fractures in men is not fully understood. This study found that these men have lower bone mineral density at the forearm itself, as well as the hip and spine, and has shown that forearm bone mineral densit...

Polyvinylpyrrolidone modified graphene oxide as a modifer for thin film composite forward osmosis membranes (2017)
Journal Article
Wu, X., Field, R., Wu, J., & Zhang, K. (2017). Polyvinylpyrrolidone modified graphene oxide as a modifer for thin film composite forward osmosis membranes. Journal of Membrane Science, 540, 251-260. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.memsci.2017.06.070

Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) modified graphene oxide (GO), hereinafter referred to as PVP-GO, was synthesized as a novel modifier to fabricate thin film nanocomposite forward osmosis membranes. The results indicated that by coating PVP on the surface o... Read More about Polyvinylpyrrolidone modified graphene oxide as a modifer for thin film composite forward osmosis membranes.
