Water transport in reverse osmosis membranes is governed by pore flow, not a solution-diffusion mechanism
TL;DR: In this paper , nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations and solvent permeation experiments were performed to unravel the mechanism of water transport in reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, revealing that water transport is driven by a pressure gradient within the membranes, not by a water concentration gradient, in marked contrast to the classic solution-diffusion model.

Mechanisms and models for water transport in reverse osmosis membranes: history, critical assessment, and recent developments.
Mohammad Heiranian,Hanqing Fan,Li Wang,Xing Lu,Menachem Elimelech +4 more
TL;DR: The mechanisms and models for water transport in reverse osmosis membranes are reviewed. The solution-diffusion and pore-flow models are critically assessed based on recent experimental and computational findings. The validity of the solution-diffusion model is questioned, and future research directions are proposed.

A mechanistic model for salt and water transport in leaky membranes: Implications for low-salt-rejection reverse osmosis membranes
TL;DR: In this article , a solution-friction model is proposed to describe salt transport in low-salt-rejection reverse osmosis (LSRRO) membranes, and the model can be simplified to the classic Spiegler-Kedem-Katchalsky model, where the phenomenological parameters of salt permeability and reflection coefficient are expressed in terms of friction and partitioning coefficients.
