Current Application of Reverse Osmosis in Industrial Process

Abstract

Abstract

Reverse osmosis (RO) is widely applied in the industries. This paper is the introduction to the theory of recent RO
process, type of membrane, principle of working and the examples in the industrial process. The system and character of each module were demonstrated. Therefore, the criteria to recruit the membrane module have been presented. Not only to inform the principle of RO in industrial scale, but the basic composition of RO system is also informed and the applications in the industrial process are presented such as waste treatment, separation of salt from seawater which is the most famous for RO.
