The document discusses the history of water purification and some effective modern methods. It explains that ancient cultures used various filtration and boiling techniques but microbes could still make water dangerous. Key modern techniques discussed are boiling, water purifiers using UV and filtration, reverse osmosis, chlorination, solar purification, and UV radiation.

CHEMISTY & M MICROBIOLOGY PRSEN TS Water purification
Prof Sherif Hassan In the before People didn’t know about tasteless toxins that can grow in water.
The main way of testing water purity was through
its clearness, taste and odor.
Clay,Carbon,sand and Cotton were used to filter
water before boiling it.
Also many ancient cultures would use copper,
iron or hot sand in conjunction with boiling it. Clear water Herbs were often used in well filtration, such as amla, which is high in vitamin C, and khus. But it doesn't just stop on the taste and the color of the water.
There many microbes make water very
dangerous and don’t change its color and taste.
So It’s extremely important to ensure
that the water is free from any pathogens by purifying and treating it. There are some of the most effective water purification methods that have stood the test of time: 1-Boiling The simplest method to purify water is to boil it for a good time. High temperatures cause the bacteria and virus to dissipate, removing all impurities from the water. In doing so, chemical additions cease to exist in the water. However, the dead micro-organisms and impurities settle at the bottom of the water, and boiling does not help eliminate all the impurities. You must strain the water through a microporous sieve to completely remove the impurities. 2-Water Purifier An electric water purifier is the most trusted form of water purification found in most houses today.
A water purifier uses a multi-stage
process involving UV and UF filtration, carbon block, and modern water filtration technology that eliminates most of the chemicals and impurities, making it the purest drinking water. 3-Reverse Osmosis An RO Purifier proves to be one of the best methods of purifying water. Reverse Osmosis forces water through a semipermeable membrane and removes contaminants. The TDS Controller and Mineraliser Technology, like the one found in an A. O. Smith RO UV Water Purifier, help retain the necessary nutrients while doing away with harmful impurities. 4-Water Chlorination
It is an older technique used usually
during an emergency, wherein a mild bleach with approximately 5% chlorine is added to the water.
This mixture works as an oxidant and
quickly kills microorganisms, making water safe for consumption. 5-Solar Purification An alternative to the UV filtration is solar purification which involves treating water with the ultraviolet radiation of the sun.
The process involves filling a plastic
bottle with water, shaking it to activate the oxygen and leaving it horizontally in the sunlight. This effectively kills bacteria and viruses present in the water, making it safe for consumption 6-UV Radiation
Water is exposed to UV Light that
kills microorganisms, thereby preventing it from breeding further.
But if not coupled with an RO Filter, UV
Radiation alone cannot remove impurities and heavy metals. NOW! IT SAFE YOU CAN DRINK TEAM WORK AHMED MOHMED RAUL MAHMOU MOSTAFA ADEL D A
