Reverse Osmosis Application Assignment
Osmosis is the dissemination of water atoms through a semi-permeable layer from areas of high to low concentration in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentration on both sides. In real life osmosis is found in roots of plants retain water from the dirt, and kidneys taking water from blood [5]. Reverse osmosis is the removal of solute from water by applying pressure to the water and moving the solution through a semi-permeable membrane. It is literally the opposite of the process of osmosis [6].
In the 1950s, scientists started searching for ways to make the ocean water become desalinated. This was when reverse osmosis first appeared. The researchers found that if you apply pressure to …show more content…
Then the next step is to boil and separate sugar from water and make syrup. Today, unlike in the past, the next step is to use a machine to separate the sugar and water some more using reverse osmosis. In reverse osmosis, the first step that the sap goes through is the feed pump. Next it goes through the pressure pump, which pushes the sap through a semi-permeable membrane. After all this, the sugar level gets tripled. Additionally, the sap is heated once more and evaporates 2/3 of the remaining water. Next, a pressure filter is used to remove unwanted chemicals and after further processing the maple syrup is ready for humans to consume …show more content…
It is important to educate the public about reverse osmosis because there is a water scarcity issue where people cannot get clean water. We could use desalination with reverse osmosis to fix this. Desalination has expanded 15 % recently for getting fresh water and salt water to separate [7]. An example, of reverse osmosis is by using the process of evaporation which makes the water to condense on the plastic wrap. Thus, making the minerals going into the cell to become diluted and push against gradient which makes the water flow out of the cells causing kidney failure. Showing that a semi-permeable membrane one side has salt water and uses pressure to push water on the other side to retain the salt (i.e. Na+/K+ pump)
