| reverse osmosis |
Mechanical pressure is applied to an impure solution to force pure water through a semi-permeable membrane. The term is reverse osmosis, because normal osmosis would result in pure water moving in the other direction to dilute the impurities. Reverse osmosis is theoretically the most thorough method of large-scale water purification available, although perfect semi-permable membranes are difficult to create.

| reverse osmosis |
A membrane procedure which separates ionic species from aqueous solutions to produce water of extremely high purity. Applied pressure forces H+ and OH ions across a membrane that does not allow for passage of other ions. The purity of the water can be measured with a conductance meter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
