A LOOK AT TECHNOLOGIES RANGING FROM THE MOST COMMON TO THE MOST RECENT AND INNOVATIVE AVAILABLE TO PURIFY DRINKING WATERAbstract
The most common and important liquid on earth, water is essential to all living forms. Purification of drinking water is becoming more difficult due to the expansion of industrialization, urbanization, and other human activities that have left drinking water susceptible. The purification techniques covered in this article range from the traditional ones that use activated carbon, activated alumina, silica, diatomaceous earth, etc. to the most recent ones that use nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes, and nanocomposites. Thin films, quantum dots, and aerogels are recognized as ground-breaking methods for the filtration of drinking water. Combining approaches is seen to be more advantageous than utilizing just one method since each has benefits and disadvantages in terms of efficiency, cost effectiveness, and pollutant removal.
