Some Keywords You Have to Know
They are
Filtrationis any of various mechanical, physical or biological operations that
separate solids from fluids (liquids or gases) by adding a medium through
which only the fluid can pass
Chlorinationis the process of addingchlorineto drinking water to disinfect it
and kill germs. Different processes can be used to achieve safe levels
ofchlorinein drinking water.
Disinfectionis the process, which involves the elimination of most pathogenic
microorganisms on inanimate objects.
 How Filtration is Used In Water
Purification
Solids in the water, such as leaves and
soil, must be removed. The water is
sprayed onto specially-prepared layers of
sand and gravel calledfilter beds.
Different-sized insoluble solids are
removed as the water trickles through the
filter beds. These are cleaned every so
often by pumping clean water backwards
through the filter.
The water is then passed into Filtration is really important, because

is added to clump tiny particles together the smallest particles as they can.
to make larger particles, which settle out Which makes the water more suitable
more easily. The water is then passed to use for general purposes such as:
through a fine filter, such as carbon drinking (However we need more
granules, to remove very small particles. processes) washing and cleaning.
Describe how chlorination is used during
water purification
As ahalogen,chlorineis a highly efficient disinfectant, and is added to public water
supplies to kill disease-causing pathogens, such asbacteria,viruses, andprotozoans,
that commonly grow in water supply reservoirs, on the walls of water mains and in
storage tanks.[13]The microscopic agents of many diseases such ascholera,
typhoid fever, anddysenterykilled countless people annually before disinfection
methods were employed routinely.[13]
Chlorine ismanufacturedfrom salt by electrolysis or other methods. It is a gas at
atmospheric pressures but liquefies under pressure. The liquefied gas is transported and
used as such.
As a strongoxidizing agent, chlorine kills via the oxidation of organic molecules.[13]
Chlorine and hydrolysis producthypochlorous acidare neutrally charged and therefore
easily penetrate the negatively charged surface of pathogens. It is able to disintegrate the
lipids that compose the cell wall and react with intracellularenzymesandproteins,
making them nonfunctional.Microorganismsthen either die or are no longer able to
multiply.

Thanks Guys please Remember that
water is a really important need which a
lot of people dont have it. Please now
that we are really lucky.
