Abstract

Fertilizer drawn forward osmosis (FDFO) is a cost-effective technology for brackish water desalination. The diluted fertilizer draw solution can be used to supply nutrients to crops instead of separating it from the desalinated water. This work evaluates the performance of the FDFO using four fertil...
