Reverse Osmosis Water Purifiers

Reverse osmosis ( RO) is a water purification process that removes ions, unwanted molecules and larger particles from drinking water using a partially permeable membrane. As a result, the solute is kept on the membrane's pressurised side and the pure solvent is allowed to pass to the other side.Osmosis is a type of diffusion where water molecules pass across a semi-permeable membrane from a high water potential area to a lower one. On the other hand, reverse osmosis is the process where the movement of water molecules occurs through a semi-permeable membrane against the concentration gradient.
