| abstract |
The present invention relates to a forward osmosis membrane and a manufacturing method thereof, and, more specifically, to a forward osmosis membrane, which performs a high flux toward the osmosis direction by improving the porosity of a support layer, reducing the pore tortuosity, and allowing water to smoothly flow into an inducing solution from a source solution, minimizes the reverse diffusion of salts toward the reverse osmosis direction, and satisfies an excellent fouling resistance and chemical resistance by improving the inter-layer binding force between the support layer and a polyamide layer, and forming a solid and homogeneous polyamide layer. |
