Live Webcast with NASA September 22, 2011 @ 10:00am ACS and
NASA partnered to launch a live webcast on NASAs Digital Learning
Network (DLN). Pacific High school was selected along with 2 other
schools in the United States to participate in a live webcast, with
ACS and NASA scientists (located at Johnson Space Center) who
explained and answer questions related to water purification
processes, the IYC global water experiment, and water purification
on NASAs International Space Station.
Slide 3
Lab Water: No Dirt, No Germs Possibly the biggest chemistry
experiment ever.
Slide 4
Purpose To raise awareness of the critical use of chemistry to
provide one of the most basic human needs - Safe, Clean Drinking
water.
Slide 5
Research This lab will explore the role water has in society
and the environment.
Slide 6
Water: No Dirt, No Germs Use household materials to build a
water filtration unit and identify the efficiently of different
filtration materials
Slide 7
Background By 1911, water treatment was becoming common in
Europe and North America.
Slide 8
Waterborne disease In developing countries 4 out of 5 illness
are caused by waterborne diseases. 1.1 billion people still lack
access to improved drinking water. 2,213,000 deaths annually.
Slide 9
After Tsunami in 2004 and Japan in 2010 and Hurricanes like
Katrina, there is always large increase in water bourn diseases
such as cholera, Hepatitis A, Typhoid fever, Malaria, and Dengue
Fever. Natural Disasters
Slide 10
Waterborne disease Waterborne diseases such as typhoid fever
and cholera are still around, killing thousands of people each
year, even though chemical technology tools for clean water are
available.
Slide 11
Number of cases of waterborne disease
Slide 12
Waterborne disease in USA
Slide 13
Transmission of disease through water
Slide 14
Eliminating Waterborne Disease With simple household materials,
water can be filtered and disinfected to produce clean safe
drinking water for the world, virtually eliminating waterborne
disease.
Slide 15
Lab No Dirt, No Germs This lab will replicate two main steps of
drinking water treatment: 1. Clarification 2. Disinfection
Slide 16
Clarification To remove solid debris from natural or waste
water Involves four steps: 1. Aeration 2. Coagulation 3.
Sedimentation 4. Filtration
Slide 17
Clarification Step 1: Aeration Aeration: adds air to water
Allows gases trapped in water to escape. Adds oxygen to the
water
Slide 18
Clarification Step 1: Aeration Done by shaking and pouring
water back and forth between two containers
Slide 19
Slide 20
Clarification Step 2: Coagulation Coagulation: removes dirt and
other floating solid particles by chemically sticking them together
in FLOCS (clumps of Alum and sediment).
Slide 21
Clarification Step 2: Coagulation Done by adding ALUM and
stirring for 5 minutes
Slide 22
Slide 23
Clarification Step 3: Sedimentation Sedimentation: gravity
pulls particles of FLOC to bottom of container. Clear water remains
at top and is drained and filtered.
Slide 24
Clarification Step 3: Sedimentation Done by letting ALUM
treated water sit for 20 minutes.
Slide 25
Clarification: Step 4 - Filtration Filtration: sand and pebble
filter removes most impurities that remain in the water
Slide 26
Filtration Unit
Slide 27
Clarification: Step 4 - Filtration Done by pouring the top of
the untreated water into a filter and collecting the treated
water.
Slide 28
Disinfection Disinfection: Drinking water chlorination A small
amount of chlorine is added to large volumes of drinking water.
Destroys germs (Bacteria & Viruses).
Slide 29
Disinfection Done by adding enough chlorine (bleach) to destroy
germs, plus a little more to fight new germs that water may
encounter before water reaches your home. Extra chlorine is called
chlorine residual
Slide 30
Slide 31
Disinfection Chlorine test strips detect the chlorine
residual.
