Fig. 3: Draw solute performances of synthesized NPs in osmotic pressure driven membrane processes (FO and PRO modes).

Water fluxes were measured by time dependent total volume increase (V/V0) with 0.95 cm2 of effective membrane surface area (water flux = Increased volume/(time × membrane surface area)). Concentration dependence tests using IONP@SDS in (a) FO mode and (b) PRO mode.
