What are the applications of reverse osmosis?

The membrane used in reverse osmosis is designed to allow only water molecules to pass through while blocking larger particles and solutes (up to 99.99%). Thus, it results in purified drinking water. Reverse Osmosis is also used for desalination, which involves pumping seawater through a membrane under high pressure to separate salt and minerals, producing fresh water. Another application is for power plants particularly on high-pressure boilers, to generate pure water. Additionally, reverse osmosis serves as a prevalent method for physically treating water in industrial settings.
