Purified water is water that has been mechanically filtered or processed to remove impurities and make it suitable for use. Distilled water has been the most common form of purified water, but, in recent years, water is more frequently purified by other processes including capacitive deionization, reverse osmosis, carbon filtering, microfiltration, ultrafiltration, ultraviolet oxidation, or electrodeionization. Combinations of a number of these processes have come into use to produce water of such high purity that its trace contaminants are measured in parts per billion (ppb) or parts per trillion (ppt). Purified water has many uses, largely in the production of medications, in science and engineering laboratories and industries, and is produced in a range of purities. It can be produced on site for immediate use or purchased in containers. Purified water in colloquial English can also refer to water which has been treated ("rendered potable") to neutralize, but not necessarily remove contaminants considered harmful to humans or animals. ==Parameters of water purity== Purified water is usually produced by the purification of potable water (city water) or natural water. The impurities that may need to be removed are: *inorganic ions (typically monitored as electrical conductivity or resistivity or specific tests) *organic compounds (typically monitored as TOC or by specific tests) *bacteria (monitored by total viable counts or epifluorescence) *endotoxins and nucleases (monitored by LAL or specific enzyme tests) *particulates (typically controlled by filtration) *gases (typically managed by degassing when required) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Purified water」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
