a process by which a solvent passes through a porous membrane in the direction opposite to that for natural osmosis when subjected to a hydrostatic pressure greater than the osmotic pressure.
A reverse osmosis is a process in which pressure is applied to overcome colligative property and osmotic pressure that is directed by thermodynamic parameter and a chemical difference of a solvent. This application is mainly applied in the production of potable water, in water plants and in industries. The end result will be the solute. It happens when the pure solvent is allowed to follow to one end of the membrane thus allowing a solute to retain in a permissible side of a membrane. Reverse osmosis removes suspended and types of dissolved species from water including bacteria.

It is the process by which root absorb water from soil this is called osmosis
