Which of the following is a commonly used process for removing suspended solids from water?

  1. Reverse Osmosis

  2. Ion Exchange

  3. Filtration

  4. Disinfection


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Filtration is a physical process that removes suspended solids from water by passing it through a porous medium that traps the solids.

What is the primary purpose of water softening in manufacturing applications?

  1. Removing hardness minerals

  2. Reducing water consumption

  3. Improving taste and odor

  4. Preventing corrosion


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Water softening is primarily used to remove hardness minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, from water to prevent scale formation and improve the efficiency of various industrial processes.

Which technology utilizes a semipermeable membrane to separate dissolved impurities from water?

  1. Distillation

  2. Reverse Osmosis

  3. Ion Exchange

  4. Ultrafiltration


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Reverse osmosis is a process that uses a semipermeable membrane to separate dissolved impurities, such as salts, minerals, and organic compounds, from water.

What is the primary mechanism of disinfection in water treatment?
