    Study Notes

    Water Purification Methods

    • Reverse osmosis involves pumping water across a semipermeable membrane.

    Laboratory Reagent Water Classification

    • Classification is based on specifications needed for its use, according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute.

    Ultraviolet Water Purification

    • This method involves the use of ultraviolet light for sterilization.

    Distilled Water

    • Distilled water is produced solely by purification through distillation.

    Reagent Grade Water Categories

    • Categories are based on the specifications needed for its use.

    Activated Charcoal in Filtration Cartridges

    • Activated charcoal is used to remove impurities and improve taste and odor in municipal water supplies.

    Deionized Water Production

    • Deionized water is primarily produced through the removal of ions.

    Reverse Osmosis Function

    • The main function of reverse osmosis is to remove impurities and salts from water.

    Deionized Water Characteristics

    • Deionized water lacks ions, but may still contain other impurities and contaminants.

    Submicron Filters

    • Submicron filters remove particulate matter, bacteria, and viruses from municipal water supplies.
