  2. Portable water purification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_water_purification

    Portable water purification devices are self-contained, easily transported units used to purify water from untreated sources (such as rivers, lakes, and wells) for drinking purposes. Their main function is to eliminate pathogens, and often also of suspended solids and some unpalatable or toxic compounds. These units provide an autonomous supply ...

  3. Water purification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_purification

    Simple techniques for treating water at home, such as chlorination, filters, and solar disinfection, and for storing it in safe containers could save a huge number of lives each year. [52] Reducing deaths from waterborne diseases is a major public health goal in developing countries. The global water purification market is worth 22 billion ...

  4. Reverse osmosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_osmosis

    Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water purification process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to separate water molecules from other substances. RO applies pressure to overcome osmotic pressure that favors even distributions. RO can remove dissolved or suspended chemical species as well as biological substances (principally bacteria), and is used in ...

  5. Water filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_filter

    A water filter removes impurities by lowering contamination of water using a fine physical barrier, a chemical process, or a biological process.

  6. Biosand filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioSand_Filter

    Biosand filter. A biosand filter (BSF) is a point-of-use water treatment system adapted from traditional slow sand filters. Biosand filters remove pathogens and suspended solids from water using biological and physical processes that take place in a sand column covered with a biofilm. BSFs have been shown to remove heavy metals, turbidity ...
