reverse osmosis

  

Definition

Liquid filtering process in which a contaminated (more concentrated) liquid is forced to pass through a semi-permeable membrane that block most dissolved or suspended contaminants. It is called 'reverse' because in normal osmosis a less-concentrated liquid passes into a more concentrated one.
