The 72 pages that link to Water purification, each with the reason it gives.
SolubilityRelated: Dissolved contaminants and minerals must be managed according to their solubility.
Ecosystem serviceBroader topic: Wetlands and soils can improve water quality before it reaches people.
WaterRelated: Treatment makes water suitable for drinking, industry, or environmental discharge.
Water pollutionCompared with: Purification addresses contaminated water at its point of use, unlike pollution prevention at its source.
ChitinRelated: Chitin-derived adsorbents can bind some contaminants in water.
Waterborne diseaseRelated: Filtration and disinfection interrupt transmission before contaminated water is consumed.
Reverse osmosisNarrower topic: Reverse osmosis is one membrane-based method within the broader practice of water purification.
ColloidRelated: Coagulation and filtration remove colloidal particles that resist settling.
Wetland restorationRelated: Wetland soils and plants can retain sediments and transform nutrients and pollutants.
ChlorinationNarrower topic: Chlorination became one component of broader efforts to produce safer municipal water.
AlkalinityRelated: Operators monitor alkalinity to manage coagulation, corrosion, and pH stability.
Activated carbonRelated: Activated carbon adsorbs taste and odor compounds, organic pollutants, and some treatment by-products.
CharcoalRelated: Porous charcoal can adsorb some contaminants, although untreated charcoal is not a complete purifier.
Fecal–oral routeRelated: Treatment can remove or kill pathogens before people drink contaminated water.
Chlorine dioxideNarrower topic: Chlorine dioxide is applied to control pathogens, tastes, and odors in water systems.
FlocculationNarrower topic: Flocculation is widely used to remove suspended matter from drinking water and wastewater.
Potassium permanganateRelated: Permanganate can oxidize iron, manganese, and some taste- and odor-causing compounds during treatment.
Water supply networkRelated: Treatment plants commonly feed the network that distributes potable water.
Manganese dioxideRelated: Manganese dioxide media remove dissolved iron and manganese through oxidation and filtration.
Drinking waterNarrower topic: Drinking-water production applies treatment processes to make source water safer.
Industrial control systemRelated: Treatment facilities automate pumping, filtration, chemical dosing, and process monitoring.
GiardiasisRelated: Effective filtration or disinfection helps prevent infection from contaminated drinking and recreational water.
UltrafiltrationRelated: Ultrafiltration membranes remove suspended matter and many microorganisms from water.
AcrylamideRelated: Polyacrylamide made from acrylamide is used as a flocculant in some treatment processes.
Adsorption isothermNarrower topic: Isotherms help compare how treatment materials capture dissolved contaminants.
PermanganateNarrower topic: Permanganate oxidizes substances such as iron, manganese, and some taste- or odor-causing compounds.
Chemical speciationRelated: Treatment performance depends on whether contaminants occur as ions, complexes, or precipitates.
Drinking water qualityRelated: Treatment removes or inactivates contaminants before water reaches consumers.
CampingRelated: Treating uncertain water sources can prevent illness during remote stays.
MarshRelated: Marsh soils and microbes can retain or transform pollutants carried by runoff.
Water disinfectionNarrower topic: Purification can include disinfection, but also addresses particles and chemical contaminants.
Water fluoridationNarrower topic: Fluoridation is an additional controlled chemical adjustment within municipal treatment systems.
Advanced oxidation processNarrower topic: Advanced oxidation is one chemical treatment option within the broader water-treatment system.
Acrylic acidNarrower topic: Acrylic acid polymers help disperse mineral particles and inhibit scale in water systems.
Bottled waterRelated: Bottlers may purify source water before packaging it.
Iron(II) sulfateNarrower topic: Iron(II) sulfate is used in some treatment systems as a reducing agent or coagulant aid.
MicrofiltrationNarrower topic: Microfiltration removes suspended matter as one step in producing cleaner water.
Sanitary movementRelated: Filtration and other treatment methods made municipal supplies safer to drink.
Aluminium sulfateNarrower topic: Aluminium sulfate is widely used in treatment plants to remove suspended and dissolved impurities.
Chlorous acidRelated: Chlorite-derived chlorine dioxide is used to disinfect drinking water.
Giardia duodenalisRelated: Filtration and disinfection reduce the chance of ingesting infectious Giardia cysts.
Iron(III) sulfateNarrower topic: Iron(III) sulfate is used as a chemical treatment agent in some systems.
Peracetic acidRelated: Peracetic acid can disinfect wastewater and other water streams without relying on chlorine.
PyrolusiteRelated: Manganese dioxide surfaces can help remove iron, manganese, and some contaminants from water.
Sanitary engineeringRelated: Treatment makes source water safer before it enters a public supply.
Separation processRelated: Filtration, membranes, and other separations remove suspended and dissolved substances.
Sodium bisulfiteNarrower topic: Sodium bisulfite removes residual chlorine and dissolved oxygen in treatment systems.
Sodium metabisulfiteRelated: Sodium metabisulfite can remove residual chlorine or other oxidants from treated water.
Sodium sulfiteNarrower topic: Sodium sulfite can remove residual oxygen from boiler feedwater and other process water.
