Osmosis vs Reverse Osmosis - Explained Animation

A simple and straight forward animation about the main difference between osmosis and reverse osmosis. Basically, in osmosis, the water molecules travel naturally from a less concentrated solution toward the more concentrated one until the osmotic equilibrium is reached. The reverse osmosis, on the other hand, it is artificially obtained by applying pressure to the concentrated solution. In this case, the water molecules travel from the more concentrated solution toward the less concentrated. Video made by Adelaide Desalination Plant.
