    Can these chemicals be separated by evaporation?

      Not sure, but one thing I do know: sewage treatment plants aren’t distilling the water before it it gets back into service. Guessing that would be very energy intensive at scale.

        I could see these chemicals being airborne and binding with rain as it condenses, rather than evaporating with it, but I simply do not know. I’m trying to build my first home and pondering somewhat radical water processing features; extreme filtration and solar distillation of rainwater being key. I’m even looking into plastic eating mushroom beds.
