Also, the applicability of the neat CTA/CA, MA/CTA/CA, and The Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/MA/CTA/CA nanocomposite (NC) modified membrane display high water flux when it used to desalinate brine water sample collected from the brine mid-stream from Mersa Matruh area, North-Western Coast of Egypt. The salinity of the collected sample is 12760 mg/L and PH (8.5) and used as FS, and 1M from different fertilizer draw solutes (DFDS) include KCl, NH<sub>4</sub>Cl, (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>, and K<sub>2</sub>HPO<sub>4</sub> used as DS. The results reveal that the flux was KCl and NH<sub>4</sub>Cl (17.8 L/m<sup>2</sup>.h) and followed by (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4 </sub>(17.1 L/m<sup>2</sup>.h) and K<sub>2</sub>HPO<sub>4</sub> (16.6 L/m<sup>2</sup>.h) using the natural saline water as FS using Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/MA/CTA/CA NC modified membrane. The reusability test of the synthesised Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/MA/CTA/CA NC modified membrane showed good sustainability during the 1260 min continuous test. The FO application displayed a great potential to be interested in brine wastewater desalination and enhanced water source sustainability to use in agriculture fertigation.</p> Doaa F.
