Definition Of RO(Reverse Osmosis)
  • Reverse Osmosis is a water purification technology that uses a semi permeable membrane.
  • It works on the concept of diffusion
  • Ro is also known as hyperfiltration
  • Ro can removes many types of molecules and ions from solution

What is Osmosis
 
Definition- The solvent naturally moves from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration called osmosis.
Reverse Osmosis
Definition- Reverse Osmosis is the process of forcing a solvent from a region of high solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane to a region of low solute concentration by applying a pressure.
Use of RO Technology
 There are some use of RO(Reverse Osmosis) are as follows:
  • Drinking water purification
  • Waste water purification
  • Hydrogen production
  • Maple syrup production in food industry 
  • RO used for production of deionised water 
Advantages 
There are various advantages of RO(Reverse Osmosis) are as follows:
  • RO Performs a separation without a phase change. Thus, the energy requirements are low.
  • RO systems are compact, and space requirements are less with other desalting systems, e.g., distillation.
  • Many RO systems are fully automated and designed to start-up and shutdown automatically. Thus RO plants usually required little labor. 
Disadvantages
There are various disadvantages of RO(Reverse Osmosis) are as follows:
  • Hardness not removed 
  • Does remove dissolve gasses 
  • Removes beneficially healthy minerals too
  • Disposal of concentrate
  • RO process cannot be applied without pretreatment
