Abstract：

As a type of novel technology by using the principle of osmosis, forward osmosis can is produce a spontaneous without external pressure. which This approach provides an approach consumes very of low energy consumption and is highly efficient to for contemporary worldwide water and environment problems. Forward osmosis has recently drawn worldwide attention, and relevant studies are in burgeoning development. This review summarizes the progress of study on the mechanism of forward osmosis in detail, analyzes the whole dynamic process in depth and provides a theoretical basis for design and preparation of FO membranes and selection and development of draw solutes.
