What is reverse osmosis? Not to be confused with filtration--which involves straining or size exclusion--reverse osmosis involves a diffusive mechanism and separation process that is dependent on solute concentration, pressure, and the water flux rate. This book describes all of the basic processes involved in reverse osmosis operations. Presented in a conversational style--using jargon-free language--it discusses in detail the drinking water purification, wastewater reuse, desalination processes, and other freshwater applications used to ensure the safe consumption of water. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book also places special emphasis on pharmaceuticals and personal care product (PPCP) contaminants, which are not typically removed from wastewater by conventional treatment processes, however, they can be removed by processes using sophisticated membrane filtration. The author provides a basic understanding of membrane technology, and explains the membrane treatment process. He details how the processes fit together within a drinking water or wastewater treatment system and presents concepts that make up water and wastewater treatment processes as a whole. He also highlights advances in reverse osmosis technology and discusses relevant applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents a comprehensive coverage of reverse osmosis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses fundamental processes and equipment used in reverse osmosis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides technical terminology in simplified form\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cp\u003eReverse Osmosis: A Guide for the Nonengineering Professional\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e explains how reverse osmosis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrank R.
