REVERSE OSMOSIS (OZ-MOE-SIS)

Meaning of REVERSE OSMOSIS (OZ-MOE-SIS) in English

The application of pressure to a concentrated solution which causes the passage of a liquid from the concentrated solution to a weaker solution across a semipermeable membrane. The membrane allows the passage of the solvent (water) but not the dissolved solids (solutes). The liquid produced is a demineralized water. Also see osmosis.
