Sea Water• water from a sea or ocean• Contains a salinity of about 3.5% (i.e.
35 g/kg of dissolved salt• More denser than fresh water and pure
water• Freezing point decreases than fresh
water(−2 °C)• pH ranges between 7.5 and 8.4

What is Desalination?
• Desalination is the process of removing of dissolved salts from sea water.
• desalinated water is suitable for human consumption or irrigation.
• 1% of worlds population is dependent on desalinated water
• By 2025, UN expects 14% water scarcity
• Great future

Reverse Osmosis (RO)
• a water purification technology that uses a semipermeable membrane. • Also called membrane desalination process.• Saltwater is forced through membrane sheets at
high pressures.• Pressure applied depends upon molar
concentration• Membrane sheets are designed to catch salt
ions.Fig: Osmotic and Reverse Osmotic flow

Reverse Osmosis contd.
• The membranes used have a dense layer in the polymer matrix• the membrane is designed to allow only water to pass
through this dense layer, while preventing the passage of solutes (such as salt ions). • This process requires that a high pressure be exerted on
the high concentration side of the membrane • Pressure of 2–17 bar (30–250 psi) for fresh and brackish
water, and 40–82 bar (600–1200 psi) for seawater, which has around 27 bar (390 psi) natural osmotic pressure that must be overcome. Fig: Reverse Osmosis

Reverse Osmosis Desalination
Advantages:• Improves taste, odor and appearance.• Highly effective purification process• Consumes no energy• Very convenient• Flushes away pollutants, does not collect them• Easy to clean• Environment friendly• Low production cost - gives you water of a guaranteed
quality for pennies per gallon

Reverse Osmosis
Disadvantages: • It is a slow process and also wastes a large portion
of the water that runs through the system• High capital and operating cost• Membranes are prone to fouling • not applicable for concentrated solutions due to
high pressure requirement• High level of pretreatment is required in some cases• RO removes minerals and ions that provide taste to
the water and electrolytes important for human health
14
Conclusion
• RO is an effective technology for seawater desalination• Proper pretreatment and monitoring is required• Has great future
