A Quick Overview of Nano Water Treatment

The population of the world is increasing at an exponential rate that is unstoppable. With the dramatic growth of population comes the issue of accessibility to clean water. Combined with an unpredictable climate, this challenge has pushed researchers towards developing techniques that improve the accessibility of safe drinking water to humans as well as animals.

In this effort of ensuring that no one is deprived of clean water, TiPE has come up with a nano water treatment method with photocatalytic techniques to remove potentially toxic contaminants and pollutants from drinking water supplies.

Common contaminants found in water –

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, water contaminants are all the organic and inorganic chemicals, biological particles, radiological or physical substances that are not water molecules. These contaminants have the potential to cause health issues and adverse effects when consumed by humans.

Below we have made a list of some of the most common types of contaminants found in water supplies. You can go through it to have a clearer picture of what needs to be filtered with nano water treatment solution –

  • Organic materials
  • Nitrogen
  • Zinc
  • Lead
  • Pesticides
  • Arsenic
  • Chromium
  • Uranium
  • Toxins produced by humans, bacteria, and animal drug
  • Sediments
  • Cadmium
  • Salts
  • Bleach
  • Metals
  • Nickel
  • Copper
  • Plutonium
  • Cesium
  • Soil erosion products
  • Bacteria
  • Virus
  • Parasites
  • Protozoa

Limitations of the traditional water purification methods –

Various kinds of water treatment solutions are used across the world that includes filtration, screening, sedimentation, reverse osmosis, gravity separation, ion exchange, neutralization, microfiltration, remineralization, ultrafiltration, and many more. These might be effective to a certain extent; however, they often turn out to be costly as they require a huge amount of water and energy to complete the process. Hence they are not always the practical choice for many people worldwide.

Perks of nano water treatment solution –

Nanotechnology-based water filtration solutions are extremely efficient and convenient for water purification compared to the traditional techniques. These solutions can be easily fabricated with custom features to enhance the absorption levels of contaminants from water.

For instance, you can increase or decrease the reactivity and post volume of your treatment solution. Also, both hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions can be manipulated when working at the molecular level. This can exhibit high and impressive performance at an affordable price.

The bottom line –

The scarcity of clean water is turning out to be one of the major problems for people across the world. This is the reason why researchers are looking for advanced technologies that can help to purify water at a molecular level without using much energy and resources to decrease the production cost.

TiPE offers the best nano water treatment solution with the use of photocatalytic oxidation for the best results at affordable rates. This solution does not just filter the contaminants present in the water but purifies it at a molecular level.
