This study reviews emerging and innovative methods in water purification designed to overcome the limitations of traditional approaches such as filtration, chlorination, and reverse osmosis. Highlighted technologies include nanotechnology-based filtration (carbon nanotubes, graphene), solar-powered purification systems, biological filtration (constructed wetlands, microbial fuel cells), and advanced membrane techniques like forward osmosis and electrodialysis. The article emphasizes the potential of these methods to provide scalable, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions for clean water access, especially in regions facing water scarcity and contamination. The conclusion calls for integrating these advanced technologies into future water treatment systems to ensure global water security.
Additional Information
Water purification is essential to ensuring the availability of clean and safe drinking
water, particularly in regions facing water scarcity and contamination. While traditional
water treatment methods such as filtration, chlorination, and reverse osmosis have been
widely used, they often present challenges in terms of cost, energy consumption, and
environmental impact. Innovative methods in water purification are emerging to address
these challenges, including nanotechnology, solar-powered systems, biological filtration,
and advanced membrane-based techniques. These new technologies not only enhance the
efficiency and sustainability of water treatment processes but also offer scalable and cost
effective solutions for communities in need. This paper explores several innovative water
purification methods, highlighting their potential to revolutionize the way we purify water
for a more sustainable future.
