Reverse Osmosis


* Reverse osmosis (RO) is a purification technology that uses a semi-
permeable membrane. This membrane-technology is not properly a
filtration method.
* In RO, an applied pressure is used to overcome osmotic pressure, a
colligative properties, that is driven by chemical potential, a
thermodynamic parameter.
* RO can remove many types of molecules and ions from solutions and
is used in both industrial processes and to produce potable water.
* To be "selective," this membrane should not allow large molecules or
ions through the pores (holes), but should allow smaller components of
the solution (such as the solvent) to pass freely.
* Osmosis is a natural process. When two liquids of different
concentration are separated by a semipermeable membrane, the fluid
has a tendency to move from low to high solute concentrations for
chemical potential equilibrium.
Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Systems Work


* Reverse Osmosis is a process in which dissolved inorganic solids
(such as salts) are removed from a solution (such as water).
* This is accomplished by household water pressure pushing the
tap water through a semi permeable membrane.
* The membrane (which is about as thick as cellophane) allows
only the water to pass through, not the impurities or contaminates.
* These impurities and contaminates are flushed down the drain.
* Ultimately, the factors that affect the performance of a ro system
are:
   * Incoming water pressure
   * Water Temperature
   * Type and number of total dissolved solids (TDS) in the tap
water
   * The quality of the filters and membranes used in the RO System
