(a)   is the process of removing salt from sea water in order to make it suitable for drinking.

120.

- Seawater in Antarctica is very cold, so it is first warmed slightly and then pumped through a 25-um filter to eliminate coarse materials. The filter contains layers of anthracite coal, sand, garnet, and limestone. The water is pumped through progressively smaller filters that allow only smaller and smaller particles to pass through.

- The process is referred to as reverse osmosis(RO) because the water moves from a low water concentration (high concentration of solute) to a high water concentration(low concentration of solute) and therefore requires the force of pressure of a pump

a)
b)
c)
d)
121.

RO makes use of semi-permeable membranes that allow the water to be forced through but filter out other molecules or micro-organisms of progressively smaller and smaller sie. As this process proceeds, the rejected materials continue to increase in solute concentration, requiring more force to push the water through. Reverse osmosis is affected by charged particles, like salts, so that the larger the molecule and the greater the charge on it, the less likely it will be to move through the membrane. "Backwash" from the filtration process helps to keep the filter clean. Following the RO process, the pH levels of the water are adjusted and chlorine is added to kill any bacteria still present. RO is an efficient, but expensive, method of desalinating and purifying water in Antarctica and other places of the world where freshwater is in extremely short supply. RO systems are now available for home water purification.
