Manganese MCV Abstract
Despite countless technological advances in recent years, many of humanity's vital problems have been ignored and overlooked. Clean drinking water is one of our most basic needs, and though here in the U.S.A.we may take it for granted, it is a serious problem in third world countries around the globe. Millions of people around the world do not have access to clean and safe drinking water, for various reasons. Our video describes how ceramic silver-impregnated pot filters, or CSF's, are a viable solution.
Our video introduces the basic facts and statistics about access to clean drinking water, reasons why this is the case, indicate limitations with other sources of water purification, and discusses the harmful effects of not having clean drinking water. The proposed solution to the problem, CSF's, is introduced. Essentially, a CSF is a ceramic pot with microscopic pores covered in colloidal silver that filters water by gravity. It filters out 99% of all living organisms, and it is extremely cheap when compared with other methods of purification. In the video we introduce how it is made, some current limitations of it, and investigate how the process-structure-properties relationship is used. Also, we investigate what colloidal silver is and how it relates to what we have learned this semester.
