Reverse osmosis (RO) functions by applying pressure to a solution and forcing it through a filter. This process allows smaller water molecules to pass through while trapping larger contaminant molecules. By effectively removing most contaminants, RO is ideal for desalinating seawater and purifying substances like maple syrup. Compared to charcoal-based filters, reverse osmosis is more …
