It seems that an older theory (described here on Wikipedia) was recently proven incorrect. Jarble (talk) 05:42, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

The article is locked to prevent vandalism (?), so I can't do anything to fix this. The second paragraph in the "Osmosis" section begins with a confusing statement:
> RO differs from filtration in that the mechanism of fluid flow is reversed, as the solvent crosses membrane, leaving the solute behind.
I might be misunderstanding (in which case this could be clarified), but I think this is incorrect and might have been intended to read "RO differs from forward osmosis", referring to the subject of the first paragraph. Then again, the rest of the paragraph talks about other classes of filtration, so maybe the wording is intentional (and perhaps wrong?). 99.230.147.237 (talk) 03:14, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
I agree with User 99.230.147.237. The above sentence doesn't make sense. In filtration, the solvent also crosses the membrane, leaving the solute behind. --202.28.35.193 (talk) 03:39, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
