Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The minimum pressure required to purify the water by osmosis process to be calculated.

Concept introduction

Desalination: Desalination is the action of removing salts that are dissolved in the water. Resulting, obtain pure water from seawater.

Osmosis: Osmosis is the process in which solvent molecule enter from low concentration into high concentration through semi permeable membrane.

Reverse osmosis: Reverse osmosis is water purification technique in which ions or molecule or larger molecules are removed by using semi permeable membrane.
