Which is the order of purification procedures for water
A)flocculation → chlorination → filtration → particulate settling
B)synthetic organic chemicals → particulate settling → filtration
C)chlorination → filtration → particulate settling → nitrification
D)particulate settling → flocculation treatment → filtration → chlorination

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order of water purification procedures is particulate settling, followed by flocculation treatment, then filtration, and finally chlorination. This order allows for larger particles and sediment to settle out of the water before it goes through the other purification steps, making the process more efficient. Option A includes chlorination before filtration, which is not ideal as it can lead to clogging of filters. Option B only includes synthetic organic chemicals and particulate settling, but not all contaminants can be removed using these methods alone. Option C has nitrification which is not a purification process, but rather a process that converts ammonia to nitrate in order to reduce ammonia levels in water.
