An examination into Polymeric Membranes and Techniques for Recycling Potable Water

Ruby John

Although traditional water resources in many areas are insufficient to fulfil the water needs of rising populations, reuse is becoming more popular as a means of supplementing water supplies. Recent advances in membrane technology have made it possible to reuse municipal wastewater to produce drinking water, a process known as potable reuse. Potable reuse is frequently the least energy-intensive technique of providing additional drinking water to water-stressed places, despite public opinion. Membranes have been created to filter a range of contaminants from water, including particles, pathogens, dissolved organic compounds, and salts.
