Membrane Technologies used in Water Treatment
An interactive membrane filtration activity developed for children and adults to provide a better understanding of the selectivity and permeability of the different types of membrane processes that are used for water treatment, wastewater treatment, and water desalination. There were five types of membranes that represent conventional filtration, microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis as well as different contaminants (colloids, bacteria, viruses, salts, etc)
