We humans find solutions for every problem around us. Taking an environmental problem for water scarcity we have come up with a traditional idea but a bit modified. We have used solar distillation as the basic concept and developed a single slope single basin solar still (SSSBSS) where we have used a storage material that is rarely used for this process and have carried out the research work in it. The experimental study is carried for a single slope single basin solar still (SSSBSS) under two cases (i) SSSBSS (ii) SSSBSS with zeolite crystals as storage materials. The still was made of galvanized iron (GI) and the sides were insulated with polystyrene. It has a basin area of 1 m2. Bore water of Coimbatore which is a bit salty was taken as the feed water. The test was carried out at Kuniyamuthur, Coimbatore during 10th, 11th, 12th of February 2021. Even though it was winter, the output was average. By the comparison using zeolite crystals, the efficiency was doubled compared to the first case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
