Novel membrane modifications for pressure retarded osmosis as a new way for sustainable power generation from salinity gradients
Abstract:
Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) is a novel technology that allows power to be generated from high-salinity resources. To achieve a high power density, a high-salinity solution should be used on the draw side together with high hydraulic pressure, thus the PRO process requires a membrane that has high salt rejection and high pressure resistance.........

Comparison of 2D and 3D materials on membrane modification for improved pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) process
Abstract:
Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) is a sustainable process that convert Gibbs free energy to osmotic energy by mixing two solutions of different salinities. The main challenges in the design of PRO membranes are obtaining a membrane with high water permeability and low salt permeability but also very high mechanical strength because the PRO process involves high pressure on the draw solution.........

Achievement of stable PRO performance of Toyobo hollow fiber membrane under ultra-high salinity by controlling ICP effect
Abstract:
In Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO) process, membrane active layer faces high salinity side, while support layer faces fresh water or low salinity side, in order to reduce internal concentration polarization (ICP) effect to ensure high net driving force across membrane for high water migration [1].........

Full scale demonstration of osmotic power in high salinity
Abstract:
Osmotic power can be generated by pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) aided by semi-permeable media. Where two different salt concentration aqueous solutions are separated by membrane barrier, meanwhile water from low saline phase penetrates through connected membrane pores to meet and dilute high saline solution, leading to salinity gradient, which can be further converted into electricity, so called blue energy.........
