How can we convert sea water to drinking water using Reverse ommosis technology?

Answer 1

Yes, it can. However since reverse osmosis (RO) produces a stream of waste water as it purifies incoming water, the amount of waste water produced by treating sea water via RO would be huge. The fact of the matter is that RO technology was originally invented to produce clean drinking water on ships during long ocean voyages. I would estimate that for every 1 gallon of clean water produced from sea water approximately 7-10 gallons of water would be wasted.

Answer 2

Osmosis is the process by which a solution containing high amounts of solute on one side of a semipermeable membrane (a membrane that only allows the solvent through) draws additional solute from the other side of the membrane. However, reverse osmosis is the process wherein high pressure is used to force the solvent through the semipermeable membrane to a solution of lesser solute concentration. In the example of water desalinization, high pressure is used to force water through a semipermeable membrane that only allows the water through (the solvent), leaving the salt behind. Viola, fresh water.
