A method for producing potable water by enhanced removal of trace species contaminants

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing potable water by en hanced removal of trace species contaminants, comprising the steps of contacting water with a ferrous material, co-precipitating trace species upon aeration, and recovering drinking water, wherein the efficiency is enhanced by galvanic corrosion working in concert with a Iayer of green rust and a biofilm of microorganisms. In a second aspect a plant is pro vided for production of drinking water accord ing to said method
