Abstract

This paper presents an overview to the state-of-the-art area of mathematical modeling for reverse osmosis (RO) process. As a liquid-solid process, RO constitutes a valuable and vital physical solution for seawater desalination, wastewater depollution, and water treatment comparatively to the largely controversial and polluting chemical processes such as chlorination and coagulation/flocculation. Great works are required in modeling of RO technique in order to obtain a complete and exhaustive model. Complicated and varying raw water qualities and quantities parameters through time and space are rendering RO modeling hard. Be facing the increasing pollution levels and trying to satisfy the drinking water guidelines, RO membrane modification is often required. This situation made modeling this highly dynamic process more difficult to accomplish.
