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.
The reverse osmosis (R.O.) water purification method involves forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane. The membrane filters out minerals such as salt, lead, manganese, iron and calcium, as well as certain chemicals.
