Hydrophilicity-based water purification systems

A water purification system, comprising:

• an inlet chamber configured to receive an input water stream;
• a purification module fluidly coupled to the inlet chamber, the purification module including a purification chamber configured to divide the input water stream into a purified water stream and an impure water stream;
• a purified water outlet fluidly coupled to the purified water stream;
• and
• an impure water outlet fluidly coupled to the impure water stream;
• wherein the purification chamber includes:
• a first hydrophilic surface;
• and
• a second hydrophilic surface spaced from the first hydrophilic surface;
• wherein the first hydrophilic surface and the second hydrophilic surface cooperate to establish:
• a first purified zone of substantially pure water from the input water stream proximate the first hydrophilic surface;
• a second purified zone of substantially pure water from the input water stream proximate the second hydrophilic surface;
• and
• an impure zone of impurity concentrated water from the input water stream disposed between the first purified zone and the second purified zone;
• wherein the purified water stream is supplied by substantially pure water from the first purified zone and the second purified zone;
• and
• wherein the impure water stream is supplied by the impurity concentrated water from the impure zone.
