  • diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane
    In osmotic pressure: Industrial applications

    For instance, forward osmosis relies on the difference in osmotic pressure between two solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane to drive water across a membrane. This concept can be used for filtration of wastewater, where a highly concentrated solution is used to draw water across the membrane,…
