Abstract
⺠Organic fouling in pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) was systematically investigated. ⺠PRO fouling was more severe at higher water flux (Jv). ⺠Reverse solute diffusion (Js) played an important role in enhancing PRO fouling. ⺠PRO fouling was more severe at increased draw solution concentration due to higher Jv and Js. ⺠Increased pressure affected PRO fouling by the competing effects of decreased Jv and increased Js.
