Which type of filtration is commonly used to remove suspended solids from water?

  1. Reverse Osmosis

  2. Disinfection

  3. Ultrafiltration

  4. Activated Carbon Adsorption


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Ultrafiltration is a pressure-driven membrane process that removes suspended solids, bacteria, and viruses from water.

What is the primary purpose of disinfection in water treatment?

  1. To remove suspended solids

  2. To kill microorganisms

  3. To adjust pH levels

  4. To remove dissolved minerals


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Disinfection is used to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that can cause waterborne diseases.

Which technology is commonly used to remove dissolved salts and minerals from water?

  1. Filtration

  2. Disinfection

  3. Reverse Osmosis

  4. Activated Carbon Adsorption


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Reverse osmosis is a pressure-driven membrane process that removes dissolved salts, minerals, and other contaminants from water.

What is the function of activated carbon adsorption in water treatment?

  1. To remove suspended solids

  2. To kill microorganisms

  3. To remove dissolved salts

  4. To remove organic contaminants


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Activated carbon adsorption is used to remove organic contaminants, such as pesticides, herbicides, and industrial chemicals, from water.

Which type of water treatment technology is often used to soften water?

  1. Reverse Osmosis

  2. Disinfection

  3. Ion Exchange

  4. Activated Carbon Adsorption


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Ion exchange is a process that removes hardness minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, from water.

What is the primary purpose of coagulation and flocculation in water treatment?

  1. To remove suspended solids

  2. To kill microorganisms

  3. To remove dissolved salts

  4. To adjust pH levels


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Coagulation and flocculation are used to remove suspended solids from water by causing them to clump together and form larger particles.

Which technology is commonly used to remove heavy metals from water?

  1. Filtration

  2. Disinfection

  3. Reverse Osmosis

  4. Chemical Precipitation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Chemical precipitation is a process that removes heavy metals from water by converting them into insoluble compounds.

What is the purpose of pH adjustment in water treatment?

  1. To remove suspended solids

  2. To kill microorganisms

  3. To remove dissolved salts

  4. To optimize chemical reactions


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

pH adjustment is used to optimize chemical reactions that occur during water treatment, such as coagulation, flocculation, and disinfection.

Which type of filtration is commonly used to remove particles larger than 5 microns from water?

  1. Reverse Osmosis

  2. Disinfection

  3. Ultrafiltration

  4. Sand Filtration


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sand filtration is a physical process that removes particles larger than 5 microns from water by passing it through a bed of sand.

What is the function of aeration in water treatment?

  1. To remove suspended solids

  2. To kill microorganisms

  3. To remove dissolved gases

  4. To adjust pH levels


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Aeration is used to remove dissolved gases, such as chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide, from water.

Which technology is commonly used to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from water?

  1. Filtration

  2. Disinfection

  3. Reverse Osmosis

  4. Air Stripping


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Air stripping is a process that removes VOCs from water by transferring them to a gas phase.

What is the purpose of deionization in water treatment?

  1. To remove suspended solids

  2. To kill microorganisms

  3. To remove dissolved salts

  4. To adjust pH levels


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Deionization is a process that removes dissolved salts from water by passing it through a series of ion exchange resins.

Which technology is commonly used to remove bacteria and viruses from water?

  1. Filtration

  2. Disinfection

  3. Reverse Osmosis

  4. Activated Carbon Adsorption


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Disinfection is a process that kills bacteria and viruses in water using chemical or physical methods.

What is the purpose of sedimentation in water treatment?

  1. To remove suspended solids

  2. To kill microorganisms

  3. To remove dissolved salts

  4. To adjust pH levels


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sedimentation is a process that removes suspended solids from water by allowing them to settle to the bottom of a tank.

Which technology is commonly used to remove fluoride from water?

  1. Filtration

  2. Disinfection

  3. Reverse Osmosis

  4. Activated Alumina Adsorption


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Activated alumina adsorption is a process that removes fluoride from water by adsorbing it onto activated alumina particles.
