Figure 25. Reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, microfiltration and conventional filtration are related processes that differ mainly
in the average pore diameter of the membrane filter. Reverse osmosis membranes are so dense that there are no discrete pores
Transport occurs through statistically distributed free volume areas. The relative size of different solutes eliminated by each
class of membrane is illustrated in this scheme (Baker 2004)
