AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for non-toxic solid materials with a porosity of approximately 1 nanometer for use in the final phase of water purification, specifically in the reverse osmosis process. The original poster inquires about available options, expressing interest in materials that can be created from common substances rather than specialized diaphragms. Zeolites are suggested as a potential solution, although concerns are raised about their accessibility and cost for everyday use. The focus remains on finding a practical mixture that can be formed into a solid block suitable for purification applications.

Hello all of you! I am new in here. I am working on a project in water purification. I need to know if there is any solid in natural state or artificially made, non toxic, with porosity near 1 nano-meters. I need to use it for final phase of purification, the reversed osmosys process. I know there are specialized diaphragms for this process but i am interested in solids. 1nm.
Thanks!

Have you looked into zeolites ?

I think those materials are a bit prohibitive to the common person. I am looking for something , a mixture, that can be made of common materials, resulting a solid block.
