ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES
GOAL To make a portable water purifier.
THEORY
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.
Experimental method
Water is poured in the setup so it passes through
zeolite, it reduces the hardness of water then the
big particles are stuck in the fine sand, then the
charcoal and the cotton purify the water for
drinking purpose.
Hardness of the water is measured by EDTA
method and Zeolite minimize the hardness of
water.

Experimental Details
A] TO PREPARE 0.01 M ZnSO4.7H2O SOLUTION
0.718 OF PURE ZINC SULPHATE + 250 ml DISTILLED
WATER
B] IN BURETTE,
Na2 EDTA ZnSO4.7H2O
M2 0.01M
FOR TITRATE
TRANSFER 5ml ZnSO4.7H2O + 3ml BUFFER [pH=10] +
2-3 DROPS EBT
TITRATE TILL COLOR CHANGES WINE RED TO BLUE
M1V1 = M2V2
C] EDTA = 0.0074 M
TRANSFER 5 ml OF WATER SAMPLE + 3ml BUFFER
[pH10] + 2-3 DROPS EBT [WINE RED TO BLUE]
Ca+2 + HIn CaIn- + H+
CaIn- + H2Y-2 CaY-2 + HIn-2 + H+ metal
EDTA complex
D] EDTA AND Ca+2 [OR Mg+2] Ion FORMS COMPLEX
1 mole of EDTA = 1 mole Ca+2 = 1 mole CaCO3

Conclusion
1. Activated charcoal works through the
process of adsorption
2. This filter can be used at small level
eg.homes in villages.
3. Carbon-based organic impurities in the
water are attracted to the carbon in the
charcoal, which readily bonds to these
impurities.
4. Sand removes suspended matter, as
well as floating and sinkable particles.
