Reverse salt diffusion (RSD) is a common issue in forward osmosis (FO) membrane normally contribute to substantial fouling and lead to a lower water flux. Commercial nanofiltration (NF) membrane surface was grafted using chemical grafting for controlling this RSD issue. Different concentrations of 0...
