UVU is very different from most universities as we do not teach from a textbook. Most instructors have a PhD in engineering and 20-40 years of experience. Course content is developed from scratch and is based on the instructorâs experience. The textbook serves as a reference and some reading assignments are made.
Deionization (DI Water or Demineralization) simply means the removal of ions. Ions are electrically charged atoms or molecules found in water that have either a net negative or positive charge.
Dialysis is the artificial process of eliminating waste (diffusion) and unwanted water (ultrafiltration) from the blood. Our kidneys do this naturally. Some people, however, may have failed or damaged kidneys which cannot carry out the function properly-they may need dialysis.eople whose kidneys either do not work properly or not at all experience a buildup of waste in their blood. Without dialysis the amount of waste products in the blood would increase and eventually reach levels that would cause coma and death. Dialysis is also used to rapidly remove toxins or drugs from the blood.
