Reverse osmosis (RO) is defined as a water purification method which is mainly used to remove ions, molecules, and larger particles from water. This technology incorporates a semi-permeable membrane, which is composed of cellulose and other materials. These membranes helps to eliminate dissolved salts or organic molecules. Such membranes are used across several application bases such as brackish water treatment, desalination of seawater, industrial water treatment and many others. It is considered to be most economical and practical technique of purifying and treating drinking water.

The result is that the solute is retained on the pressurized side of the membrane and...
