“…As can be seen from Figure 12 , the increase of feed concentration gradually increases both the annual cost. This can be explained by the reduction of permeate flux due to membrane fouling [ 2 , 17 , 65 ]. The higher number of oil composition/solute in the feed accelerates the pores blockage and cake layer formation hence reduce the amount of permeate [ 45 , 66 ].…”

“…Produced water (PW), a by-product from oil and gas production contributes to the largest wastewater generated from the industry [ 1 , 2 ]. It is reported that PW were produced around 3–7 bbl per barrel oil in several wells in the US [ 3 , 4 ] and the PW volume can reach ten times of the oil [ 5 ].…”

“…The research reveals superb flux of up to 100 L/m 2 h, although NF and/or RO are more susceptible for membrane fouling due to the usage of high pressure [ 28 ]. Study conducted by Mohd Hizam et al (2020) suggested forward osmosis (FO) is suitable to treat PW with air sparging as a means of fouling control [ 2 ]. While it was claimed to have a flux enhancement up to 1.63× (from 9.49 to 15.48 L/m 2 h), FO suffers from reverse salt flux phenomena which can cause a concern.…”

Produced water (PW) is a by-product of oil and gas extraction, of which it is deemed as the primary contributor of wastewater stream in oil production. Conventional treatment such as membrane separation is favoured due to its sustainability and cost effectiveness. On the other hand, oceanic litters such as abandoned fishing nets endangered the marine life ecosystem, despite of its potential to be raw material for fabrication of nanofiber membrane (NFM). This study explores the potential usage of electrospun nylon 6,6 waste NFM for treatment of real PW. In terms of modelling, it is found that feed concentration is the dominant factor with R2 of 0.94 for permeate concentration response and 0.91 for average flux response. Moreover, the optimized system with average flux of 216.5 L/m2h with low specific power consumption of ca. 0.09 kWh/m3 is proven to be economically feasible with less than 5% error from predicted model. As for technoeconomic analysis, it is found that permeate flux plays the major role in controlling total capital cost (CAPEX) and operating cost (OPEX) of the system. The lowest total CAPEX and OPEX to achieve 10 ppm of permeate concentration, also was found to be RM 3.7 M and RM/year 1660, hence proving the economic feasibility of the proposed system.

“…Membrane fouling is one of the critical concerns while using FO to treat oily water. Electrochemical assistance (2 V, using a conductive membrane), 128 air sparging, and degree of tilt (FO module) 129 improved the membrane flux and suppressed fouling. The evaluation of novel draw solutes is required to improve the water flux, minimize RSF and reduce membrane fouling (on the draw side).…”

“…Regardless of the high potential demonstrated by the FO process, numerous challenges must be overcome to promote the commercial application of FO technology [ 21 , 22 ]. Some of the challenges commonly experienced in FO processes are a high reverse solute flux (RSF), low water flux, internal concentration polarization, poor mechanical properties of membranes, severe energy utilization for DS regeneration, and water recovery from a DS [ 23 , 24 , 25 ]. Additionally, the most frequently used membrane in FO applications, i.e., the PA thin-film composite (TFC) membrane, is extremely sensitive to chlorine [ 26 , 27 ].…”

Forward osmosis (FO) technology for desalination has been extensively studied due to its immense benefits over conventionally used reverse osmosis. However, there are some challenges in this process such as a high reverse solute flux (RSF), low water flux, and poor chlorine resistance that must be properly addressed. These challenges in the FO process can be resolved through proper membrane design. This study describes the fabrication of thin-film composite (TFC) membranes with polyethersulfone solution blown-spun (SBS) nanofiber support and an incorporated selective layer of graphene quantum dots (GQDs). This is the first study to sustainably develop GQDs from banyan tree leaves for water treatment and to examine the chlorine resistance of a TFC FO membrane with SBS nanofiber support. Successful GQD formation was confirmed with different characterizations. The performance of the GQD-TFC-FO membrane was studied in terms of flux, long-term stability, and chlorine resistance. It was observed that the membrane with 0.05 wt.% of B-GQDs exhibited increased surface smoothness, hydrophilicity, water flux, salt rejection, and chlorine resistance, along with a low RSF and reduced solute flux compared with that of neat TFC membranes. The improvement can be attributed to the presence of GQDs in the polyamide layer and the utilization of SBS nanofibrous support in the TFC membrane. A simulation study was also carried out to validate the experimental data. The developed membrane has great potential in desalination and water treatment applications.
