Study of water desalination techniques and a review on active solar distillation methods

Abstract: Energy crisis and water born diseases caused by impure water are two major concerns of the present era. Various techniques have been used to make saline/brackish water potable. Filtration, precipitation, sterilization, chemical treatment, etc. are some processes that remove macro impurities from impure water. Distillation is thermal energy‐based process that effectively removes contaminants from impure water. Reverse osmosis is a membrane‐based technique widely used for the purification purposes. Electrodialys… Show more

“…But the availability of fresh water from the natural water resources is shrinking day by day due to rapid growth of population, water pollution and poor water management. Contaminated water always contains some harmful bacteria, viruses, dissolved and undisclosed materials, chemical and physical contaminants which causes serious damage to health on consumption [1][2][3]. There are different kind of purification methods suchas sedimentation, filtration, and distillation etc.…”

“…As fresh water constitutes less than 2.6% of the water available on the Earth, scientists focused on improving and devising different distillation techniques. Manchanda and Kumar [2017], studied the water desalination techniques, they presented a review on the active solar distillation methods [Manchanda 2017]. Naim and Abd El Kawi [2003] constructed a Solar Still (SS) with charcoal.…”

“…Sharshir et al [2016] conducted a detailed review of SS systems with the recent developments. Water purification methods and economic analysis have been presented [Manchanda 2017]. Sharshir attempted to enhance the SS performance by using new type of micro-flakes with different weight concentrations, film cooling and different water depths.…”
