This slide presentation investigates the use of both nanoporous magnesium aluminate spinel and aluminium oxide coated filter media for filtration of microbial contaminates during drinking water filtration. Topics outlined under Experimental Setup include Aluminium Oxide Preparation and Magnesium Aluminium Spinel Preparation. Conclusions were that with a greater isoelectric point than aluminium oxide, magnesium aluminate spinel will have a greater positive charge at normal drinking water pH, and therefore it will have greater electrostatic attraction to negatively charged water contaminates. Includes table, figure.
