Researchers have found that the accepted theory of reverse osmosis, based on concentration gradients, is incorrect. Instead, pressure changes within the membrane drive the process, potentially leading to more effective uses in desalination, wastewater treatment, and energy production. The process
A new study has discovered that the widely accepted theory of how reverse osmosis works, called the solution-diffusion model, is fundamentally incorrect. The research team conducted experiments and computer simulations which demonstrated that reverse osmosis is driven by pressure changes within the membrane, rather than concentration gradients.
Now a team of researchers reveal in a new study that the standard explanation for how reverse osmosis works — one that has been accepted for more than five decades — is fundamentally wrong. In the process, the researchers offer an alternate theory. Besides correcting the record, these insights could lead to more effective uses of reverse osmosis. The results of the study, led by the lab of Prof.
Supplementing the computer simulations, the scientists performed experiments that allowed them to observe water passing through membranes. The results showed that the way that water permeates the membrane depends on the membrane pore size, the size of the water molecules, and viscosity of the water. This was also inconsistent with the solution-diffusion model.
