Purification

Water purification in small scale


House hold purification of water Boiling Chemical disinfection Filtration

Boiling
Free of bacteria spores, viruses,cysts & ova. Temporary hardness removed. No residual protection

Chemical disinfection(Chlorine)
Cl2+H2O=HCl + HOCl. HOCl=H+ + OClKills bacteria & viruses(No Action-Polio,HepA ). No action on spores, cysts & ova. Oxidises-Fe,Mn,H2S. Inhibits growth of algae & slime.

Chemical disinfection(Chlorine)
Principles of chlorinationWater free from turbidity pH~7. Chlorine demand estimation. Contact period 60 min. Free residual chlorine 0.5mg/L after 1hour.

Methods of Chemical dis infection


Bleaching powder(CaOCl2 )Contains 33% available chlorine on fresh preparation. Free residual chlorine of 0.5mg/L after one hour. Chlorine Tablets=0.5gm disinfect 20L of water.

Chemical disinfectants
Iodine Solution-2% ethanol solution 2 drops=1L

Potassium Permanganate solution-Powerful oxidizing agent.

(SILVER Ag)
Silver reacts with the sulfhydryl (-SH) groups in the bacterial cells.

Filtration
Used at home. Candle used for filteration Types-Pasteur Chamberland-Filter Porcelain candle Katadyn Filter-Silver catalyst Berkefeld-Kieselgurh candle

Domestic water filtres

Aqua guard- E-boiling +, UV+, RO+ UF+ and SMP+ Swach-Nano technology

Dis infection of well


Find volume of water in the well. Estimate Chlorine Demand-Horrocks Apparatus Prepare Bleaching powder solution. Delivery of Chlorine solution in well. Contact period-one hour Orthotolidine Arsenite Test-Test for residual chlorine using Chloroscope.

Water filtration in Large scale

Water filtration in large scale


Storage
Suspended impurities settle down. NH3 Nitrates Reduction in bacterial count. Optimum time-10-14 days.

Filtration of water Slow Sand Filter
