Water is essential for life, a strategic resource for every country and population. Its availability and sanitary safety is highly connected with the health and economy status of population. Burden of disease due to polluted water is a major public health problem throughout the world. Many pollutants in water streams have been identified as toxic and harmful to the environment and human health, and among them arsenic, mercury and cadmium are considered as high priority ones. Providing population with safe drinking water became the priority and at the same time a big challenge for the modern society. Many funding agencies in various countries have assigned a high priority to the envir- mental security and pollution prevention. UN, being one of them, launched the “International Decade for Action: Water for life 2005–2015. ” Therefore, today’s political and social climate presents an important opportunity to implement principles of sustainable development and to preserve resources essential for future life. This process requires interdisciplinary approach; it is critically important to stimulate interactions between medical doctors, chemists, physicist, materials scientists, engineers and policy makers, which are already experienced in their specific areas. It is also our ethical obligation to preserve existing water resources and existing eco systems enhancing their biodiversity. The NATO Advanced Research Workshop “Water Treatment Te- nologies for the Removal of High-Toxicity Pollutants” took place on September 13–17, 2008 in Košice, Slovak Republic.

Given that the threat of water shortage is expanding across the globe, the evolution of advanced technologies that enable water purification and, thus, water re-use in an energy and resource efficient manner are of great importance. In this regard, nanomaterials have been playing a crucial role and offering new opportunities for the construction of permeable and selective membranes and adsorbents. Such features are of paramount importance, particularly given the limited available energy resources. In this book, several recent studies are introduced that deal with water treatment via nanomaterial-based technologies. Such state-of-the-art technologies have employed nanomaterials that are made of polymer, composite, ceramic, and carbon, etc., and are shaped in various dimensionalities and forms such as particle (0D), fiber (1D), and film (2D–3D). The nanostructured membranes and adsorbents as well as photocatalytic nanosystems capable of active photodecomposition of organic pollutants, e.g., dyes, are the main focal points of discussion.

In Zurich, Switzerland, instead of extending the intake further from the shore to get pure water, a large plant has been constructed for filtering the entire supply from the lake. THE PURIFICATION OF WATER BY FILTRATION. In the following pages the works and operations necessary for the purification of drinking-water for cities and towns and large institutions, by filtration, will be described with some fulness. The science of water-purification is still in process of development. Each new experimental plant brings to light new difficulties and new methods of overcoming them. Experimental work, such as that done at Louisville, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Providence, and Philadelphia, and now under way at New Orleans, is of incalculable value, as it leads to the discovery of the proper treatment for the purification of waters of different kinds. Processes that are applicable for the treatment of clear polluted waters fail entirely with turbid waters; and turbid waters themselves vary so greatly in regard to character and seasonal distribution of sediment that each case requires a special study. Some clear waters, also, on account of rank algag growths, at certain seasons, must have special treatment before they can be filtered successfully. The filters described at length in this work are classified under two heads?slow sand-filters and rapid sand-filters. These terms must be used in the restricted sense; both refer to filters in which thefiltering medium is sand. The slow sand-filters may be, though they generally are not, operated with the aid of chemicals for producing the surface film, while the rapid sand-filters can only be efficient by using a coagulant, such as aluminum hydrate, to form the film artificially and rapidly. Other types, such as th...
