Solid particles (SP) suspended in water represent a common contamination that degrades the quality, not only drinking sources. Particles differ size, nature, and related features like surface charge. Thus, various methods can be utilized for their removal—physical approaches including settling or filtration, chemical coagulation/flocculation, biological microbial degradation, others. This paper aims to summarize currently available SP removal with special attention devoted alternative, cost-effective, sustainable, eco-friendly low energetic demands where power of renewable energy sources utilized. Besides properties, selection proper method (or sequence methods) separation also depends on purpose treatment. Drinking production technologies immediate effect high throughputs, conventional filtration coagulation/flocculation (electro- alternative coagulant/flocculant agents) some hybrid ensure quick cost-effective decontamination. Such usually imply heavy machinery electricity consumption, but current progress allows construction smaller facilities powered by solar wind plant systems. On other hand, decontamination rivers ponds include slower processes based phytoremediation, being long-term sustainable minimal cost investments.
