Ceramic water filters (CWFs) have been used in India due to their low expense, ease of manufacture, and livelihood sustenance features. However, the use and throw character of such systems has not been achieved. The purpose of this study is to develop and investigate the portable CWF variant named Sip-up, which can be attached to any commercially available bottle-based containers. These are porous functional structures made of a distinct volume fraction combination of salty clay, sawdust, and marble powder wet mix, formed into cylindrical shapes and baked at 650°C. The influent and filtrate water samples were analyzed. After filtration, the pH, on average, significantly improves from 8.2 to 7.4. The TDS level, conductivity, and salt content have been reduced by 8.43%, 6.89%, and 5.83%, respectively, which conforms to the WHO limits. A 99% reduction of E. Coli bacteria through CWF was also observed. This portable water filter will be accessible to the people at the lowest economic pyramid.
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.
