Detailed Solution

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 in excess of the osmotic pressure.
The key technology in the desalination process is Reverse Osmosis.
In this process, sea water is forced against semi-permeable membranes under pressure in a continuous flow condition.
As the water permeates through the membrane, most of the dissolved impurities are removed and 99.5% of the total salt is removed.
