Forward osmosis is a separation process that uses the osmotic pressure difference between feed solution (FS) and draw solution (DS) on both sides of the forward osmosis membrane as the driving force without external pressure to make water flow spontaneously from the feed solution (low osmotic pressure) to the drawn solution (high osmotic pressure) ... 5, record 2, English, - forward%20osmosis
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Forward osmosis can correctly be called simply "osmosis." However, in an industrial water treatment context, it is normally referred to as forward osmosis to distinguish it from reverse osmosis, another method for membrane-based water treatment commonly used for industrial effluent processing using hydraulic pressure as [a] driving force. 6, record 2, English, - forward%20osmosis

fuelóleo; fueloil; fuel; fuel-oil: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que aunque la Real Academia Española ha recogido el anglicismo "fueloil", escrito en una sola palabra, se recomienda también utilizar la forma abreviada "fuel" o el calco "fuelóleo". La expresión inglesa “fuel oil” que significa "combustible líquido derivado del petróleo, que se destina normalmente a la calefacción" se ha incorporado al español escrita en una sola palabra: "fueloil"; esta es la forma preferida en el español americano, pero es igualmente válida la abreviación "fuel", forma preferida en España, donde se usa también el calco "fuelóleo". Por lo tanto, se recomienda no usar en español la grafía en dos palabras o con guion intermedio: "fuel-oil". 4, record 7, Spanish, - fuel%C3%B3leo
