Most cellulose triacetate (CTA)-based studies for forward osmosis (FO) have greatly focused on achieving asymmetric membranes with a highly porous sublayer along with a dense selective layer. Such membranes can achieve better fluxes due to improved mass transfer and reduced internal concentration po...
