Development and Evaluation of Formulation for Water Purification

Chaudhari Kanchan S

Objective of present study was to formulate directly compressible fast disintegrating tablet for water purification and flocculation of suspended solids present in the water. Concentration of flocculent, effect of stirring rate is study for flocculation of water. Tablet was evaluated for weight variation, thickness, hardness, friability, in vitro disintegrating time, wetting time. A 32 full factorial design was applied to investigate the concentration of disintegrating and flocculent required. The water was evaluated for TDS, Turbidity, PH, conductance and content of aluminum. The tentative outcome from all the result show that the optimum concentration of super disintegrants and concentration of flocculent gives expected results. The formulation as dispersible tablet will help in avoiding confusion in deciding concentration of flocculent and avoids variation. From All the evaluated data it was concluded that tablet is used for water purification during trekking, climbing, adventure trip in unknown place.
