Reverse Osmosis
uses a membrane which permits only
water to pass through. Some small
molecules with water like
properties (such as ethyl alcohol)
may also pass through. The
rejection properties of the
membrane are weakly related to
operating variables such as system
pH, ionic strength, hydrodynamics
and permeate flux. Reverse Osmosis
(RO) is almost always a
concentration process.
