Reverse osmosis is one of the processes that makes desalination (or removing salt from seawater) possible. Beyond that, reverse osmosis is used for recycling, wastewater treatment, and can even produce energy.
Another common desalination process is Reverse Osmosis. It involves a solvent passing through a semi-permeable membrane; meaning this particular membrane only allows some molecules to penetrate or pass through. The solvent will then go into a solution with higher concentration of molecules.
