Organized by textbook: learncheme.com Demonstrates how to use a digital experiment that models a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane that separates a saltwater solution into a permeate stream (purified water) and a retentate stream (higher salt concentration solution). Reverse osmosis uses high pressure on the feed side (salt water) of a semi-permeable membrane to overcome the osmotic pressure. The experiment examines the effects of feed pressure and salt concentration on permeate flow rate and salt rejection. This digital experiment is located at learncheme.com/simulations/separations/reverse-osmosis-wide
Made by faculty at the University of Colorado Boulder, Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering.
