One of the prevailing problems afflicting everybody globally is the scarcity of clean and portable water supply. Water crisis constitutes a major issue to present status of world's water resources. Water pollution is now becoming a critical issue globally. Water filtration/purification with the latest technology is the urgent need in today's economy. Electrospun nanofibers with high filtration efficiency, small pore size, high permeability and low cost are materials of choice for many filtration applications. These outstanding properties are most suitable for filtration media. In this study, Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was dissolved in N, N-Dimethylacetamide (DMAC) and the small weight percentages of Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was added in order to make the nanoporous membrane surface hydrophilic for escalating the filtration performance rate and stainability. Two different water samples (dam water and city wastewater) were used in this study. For dam water sample, the parameter such as, PH, turbidity, TDS, conductivity, Ca++, Mg++, hardness, sulfates, nitrates, fluoride, chloride, alkalinity and silica were measured and found out to be 7.5, 24.33 NTU, 2526 mg/l, 5049 µS/cm, 111 mg/l, 57.76 mg/l, 447 mg/l of CaCO 3 , 78.17 mg/l, 2.98 mg/l, 1.05 mg/l, 1862.96 mg/l, 137.7 mg/l and 85.27 mg/l, respectively. Similarly, for wastewater sample, the parameters such as, PH, turbidity, TDS, conductivity, TSS, COD, BOD5, phosphate, ammonia, oil-greases and DO were measured and found out to be 7.7, 7.7 NTU, 1507.33 mg/l, 30122 µS/cm, 6 mg/l, 38.33 mg/l, 7.67 mg/l, 36.03 mg/l, 18.33 mg/l, 0 mg/l and 6.85mg/l, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
