Reverse Osmosis and Nanofiltration

Reverse osmosis (hyperfiltration) and nanofiltration are membrane separation technologies. Reverse osmosis is based on the basic principle of osmotic pressure, while nanofiltration makes use of molecule size for separation. Recent advances in nanotechnology are opening a range of possibilities in membrane technologies. Current research involves: new membrane preparation and cleaning methods, new surface and interior modification possibilities, the use of new nanostructured materials, and new characterization techniques.
