They used distillers for alcohol.Distillation methods of water purification are good for certain purposes, but for drinking, there is concern about stomach problems, because there is a lack of minerals and an unhealthy pH level. Certain contaminants with a low boiling point are not removed through this process, only vaporized.Reverse osmosis was considered a big step forward in water purification technology, but it’s really not much better than distilling. It just costs more. It is one of the methods of water purification used by treatment facilities, along with a multitude of other steps. There are a [...]
