In forward osmosis (FO) process, reverse solute flux (RSF) is considered as a major disadvantage that limits the potential of FO. In this study, an innovative approach to reduce RSF was developed by introducing complexing agent into draw solution (DS) containing magnesium chloride (MgCl2). A water-s...
