Water Purification by the use of Nanotechnology
Purification of Water by Nanotechnology Nanotechnology is a process that involves manipulating and controlling matter on the atomic scale. In the process of water purification , this involves using nanomembranes to soften the water and eradicate biological and chemical contaminants as well as other physical particles and molecules. What’s more, is that nanotechnology is portable and can be incorporated into existing commercial devices which increases the likelihood that nanotech solutions could become a feasible option for areas of the developing world and places with limited infrastructure. In recent years scientists have improved on conventional methods that use coagulants by taking their cues from nature, notably the ocean-dwelling Actinia organism. Traditional coagulants, such as aluminum sulfate and other metallic salts can pull out larger contaminants by causing them to group together and settle. However, this met
