Water Purification[edit | edit source]

Water purification 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.

Distilled Water[edit | edit source]

Distilled water is a type of purified water. It is produced by boiling water and then condensing the collected steam back into a liquid. This process removes impurities and minerals from the water. Distilled water is used in a variety of applications, including laboratory testing, automotive cooling systems, in steam irons, and in medical procedures.
