    This document discusses three main methods for purifying water: filtration, distillation, and reverse osmosis. Filtration uses screens and settling tanks to remove particles from water, while distillation boils water to separate contaminants, and reverse osmosis forces water through a semi-permeable membrane to remove unwanted molecules and ions. Municipal water treatment typically involves screening, flocculation with chemicals, filtering, and chlorination to disinfect the water.

    Water Purification

    Reference:
    American Chemical Society, Chemistry
    in Context
    Means to purify water
    • Filtration
    • Distillation
    • Reverse Osmosis
    Municipal Water Treatment
    FILTRATION
    Typical Steps in Water Treatment
    1. Screening: Takes away big particles

    2. Flocculation: Chemicals are added

    3. Filtering (floaters are collected at the surface


    and sediments are collected in the settling tank)
    4. Disinfection (Chlorination): kills disease-
    causing organisms
    FILTRATION
    DISTILLATION
    Reverse Osmosis
