What are the Common Methods of Water Purification?
Several methods are employed to achieve water purity suitable for histological applications:
Distillation: Involves boiling water and condensing the steam to remove contaminants. Deionization: Uses ion-exchange resins to remove dissolved ions from the water. Reverse Osmosis: Employs a semi-permeable membrane to filter out impurities. Ultrafiltration: Utilizes membranes with very small pores to remove particles and microorganisms. Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation: Disinfects water by inactivating microbes through UV light exposure.
