Microproject Proposal

Title of Microproject :- Prepare report on Household Water Filtrations

1.0Aims/Benefits of the Microproject

Water filtrations is the process of removing undesirable chemicals, biological
contaminants, suspended solids, and gases from water. The goal is to produce water fit
for specific purposes. Most water is purified and disinfected for human consumption
(drinking water), but water purification may also be carried out for a variety of other
purposes, including medical, pharmacological, chemical, and industrial applications. The
methods used include physical processes such as filtration, sedimentation, and
distillation; biological processes such as slow sand filters or biologically active carbon;
chemical processes such as flocculation and chlorination; and the use of electromagnetic
radiation such as ultraviolet light.

BENEFITS:
1. Filtering Tap Water Is Cost Effective
2. Water Filtration Has Massive Environmental Benefits
3. Water Impurities Are Removed By Filtration
4. Water Filtration Boosts Your Health and so on there are so many benefits and uses of
water filtration that are to be explained indetail in the following project

2.0 Course Outcome Addressed

1. Apply techniques to reduce Environmental Pollution

2. Manage social issues and Environmental Ethics as lifelong learning
3.0 Proposed Methodology

➢ Activated Carbon

Carbon removes contaminants by chemically bonding to the water that is poured into the
system. Some are only effective at removing chlorine, which only improves taste and odor,
while others remove more harmful contaminants, such as mercury and lead. It is important to
note that carbon filters do not have the ability to remove inorganic pollutants such as nitrates,
fluoride, and arsenic. Carbon filters are usually sold in block or granulated form to
consumers.

➢ Carbon Block

Carbon block filters are block-shaped filters that are composed of crushed carbon particles.
These filters tend to be more effective than other types of carbon-based filters since they
have a larger surface area. The rate at which water flows through these filters has a direct
impact on their level of effectiveness. Fibre dyne carbon block filters have a greater
sediment-holding capacity than other types of block filters.

➢ Distillation

Distillation is one of the oldest water purification methods. It vaporizes water by heating it to
exceptionally high temperatures. The vapor is then condensed back into drinkable, liquid
water. Distillation removes minerals, microorganisms, and chemicals that have a high
boiling point. These filters cannot remove chlorine and many other volatile organic
chemicals.
