Reverse Osmosis and Ultrafiltration. Reverse osmosis (qv) (or hyperfiltration) and ultrafilttation (qv) ate pressure driven membrane processes that have become well estabUshed ia pollution control (89—94). There is no sharp distinction between the two both processes remove solutes from solution. Whereas ultrafiltration usually implies the separation of macromolecules from relatively low molecular-weight solvent, reverse osmosis normally refers to the separation of the solute and solvent molecules within the same order of magnitude in molecular weight (95) (see also Membrane technology).

Many separation techniques that have gained great importance in pollution control technology were derived from conventional mechanical or thermal processes. A variety of processes and their use in phase separation are listed in Table 9.16. 

The production of electricity is one of the largest-scale industrial activities. Electricity can be generated from a variety of fuels, but the current mix heavily anphasizes coal and natural gas (NG). The process involves a number of steps, and separation technologies are needed to condition fuel, air, and water inputs, as well as control anissions and pollutants in waste streams.
