Abstract

In this study, we characterised the properties (surface charge, hydrophobicity, reverse salt flux, permeability and pore radius) of a commmercially available cellulose-based FO membrane to facilitate the understanding of the transport of trace organic contaminants (TrOCs) in an osmotically driven process.
