Reverse osmosis
- As the name suggests Reverse Osmosis is just the reverse process of Osmosis. Osmosis can occur naturally whenever there is a difference in concentration between the two solutions. But reverse osmosis takes place only when external energy is applied to the more saline solution.
- Application of larger osmotic pressure to the solution side reverses the direction of osmosis.
- This phenomenon makes the pure solvent flow out of the solution through the semi permeable
- Reverse osmosis is extensively used in desalination of sea
