AbstractForward osmosis (FO) has received intensive studies recently for a range of potential applications such as wastewater treatment, water purification and seawater desalination. One of the major challenges to be overcome is the lack of an optimized FO membrane that can produce a high water flux comparable to commercial RO membranes. Two types of thin-film composite FO hollow fibers with an ultra-thin polyamide-based RO-like skin layer (300-600 nm) on either the outer surface (#A-FO) or inner surface (#B-FO) of a porous hollow fiber substrate have been successfully fabricated. These novel composite FO hollow fibers have been characterized by a series of standard protocols and benchmarked against commercially available FO flat sheet membranes and reported NF hollow fibers used for the FO process. The characterization reveals that the FO hollow fiber membranes possess a large lumen. The substrates are highly porous with a narrow pore size distribution. The active layers present excellent intrinsic separation properties with a hydrophilic rejection layer and good mechanical strength. The #B-FO hollow fiber membrane can achieve a high FO water flux of 32.2 L/m2 h using a 0.5 M NaCl draw solution in the active rejection layer facing draw solution (AL-facing-DS) configuration at 23 °C. The corresponding salt flux is only 3.7 g/m2 h. To the best of our knowledge, the performance of the #B-FO hollow fiber is superior to all FO membranes reported in the open literature. The current study suggests that the optimal FO membrane structure would possess a very small portion of sponge-like layer in a thin and highly porous substrate, which suggests a way for further improvement. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
