Abstract:In this paper, we present the design and evaluation of a prototype Autonomous Water Purifier (AWP) for removing heavy metals from contaminated water. The AWP prototype uses solar energy for its operation; the autonomous photovoltaic system is designed to operate up to 8 hours per day and to generate a water flow of 112 liters per day. The prototype was designed to remove biological and chemical agents. It was achieved the elimination of total coliforms, fecal coliforms, total alkalinity, total hardness, total … Show more
