SLAKING INDUSTRY'S GREAT THIRST FOR PURE WATER

Abstract

UNTIL recently, water was the Cinderella of chemical raw materials. This is despite the bizarre fact, on which biology depends, that water is so hospitable to life that 30 seconds exposure to air of a Petri dish containing pure sterile water will ensure that it becomes a culture of bacteria, moulds and algae.
