Process of spontaneous dewatering of feed solution using salt bitterns as draw solutions
The present invention relates to the use of abundant and generally wasted salt bitterns I with high .osmotic coefficient as draw solution in forward osmosis (FO). A I . > conventional high flux thin film composite polyamide membrane was utilized for this purpose. With sugarcane juice as feed, its fourfold concentration was demonstrated with an energy saving of 97% compared to the energy requirement for conventional multiple effect evaporation. Sucrose loss from feed to draw was
