“…During an experiment tests were carried out of black dye in feed water at 20ppm, 30pp m, 50 ppm and 70pp m concentration.Black Dye has imp roved the distilled water production by almost 65%, whereas Ink in water solution improves it over 35%. Results also shown that the improvement was observed with increasing concentration of dye from 20 ppm to 50 ppm and the rate of evaporation remain same during increasing concentration from 50 pp m to 70 pp m. 2.17 Black granite gravels, Pebbles, Blue metal stones and Paraffin wax T.V Arjunan et al [39] Were used various energy storage materials like black granite gravels, pebbles, blue metal stones and paraffin wax during an experiment to study the effect of energy storage materials on the perfor mance of simple solar still. The energy storage materials in the still store the heat during noon hours and release that stored heat to the basin water in the evening when the radiation is low and night hours.…”

“…They also proved that the off‐sunshine hours yield improved by adding storage materials in the solar still. Similarly, Arjunan et al 20 also used low‐cost storage materials, such as pebbles, blue metal blocks, black granite gravel, and paraffin wax. Researchers also found the yield enhanced during the daytime without storage and decreased during the remaining hours.…”

In this current study, a single basin solar still (SBSS) was explored in the climatic state of Patan (23.84° N, 72.12° E) India over March 2019. The SBSS was examined with the use of waste brick magnesia (WBM) for the same amount of water (10 L). For experimentation, three same‐sized SBSS were taken with 3 and 6 kg WBM and without storage materials. It was found that a daytime yield for SBSS of 2.27 L without storage materials was obtained; and this was reduced for SBSS with 3 and 6 kg WBM to 1.96 and 1.75 L, respectively. It has also been noticed that the yield of SBSS during off‐sunshine hours due to the energy storage capacity increased with WBM but the combined (daytime + off‐sunshine hours) yield was found reduced with an increment in a mass of the WBM. It was found that the maximum instantaneous thermal efficiency of the SBSS without WBM, 3 and 6 kg WBM was 60.24%, 45.65%, and 54.26%, respectively. Overall thermal efficiency was also determined and obtained to be higher for SBSS without WBM as storage.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the evaporation process of reject brine by using a solar system. The solar system contained a solar still coupled with a solar air heater (SAH). Solar still had a heated base, which was connected to the solar collector with a copper pipe. The influence of the introduction of the SAH to the system and increased levels of air mass flowrates was investigated. Variations in temperature and solar irradiation were monitored as well as brine evaporation. Introducing the SAH and increasing the air mass flowrate resulted in faster brine evaporation, higher utilization rate of solar radiation, higher brine, and base temperature levels within the solar still compared to the system without the SAH. The mean base temperature of the system with the SAH was 43.46 ± 11.3°C, while that of the system without the SAH was 30.62 ± 7.35°C. The use of the SAH and high air mass flowrates influenced the temperature distribution within the solar still, which affected the evaporation of the brine in a positive way. Introduction of the SAH and high air mass flowrate increased the drying efficiency of the solar system at a level of 120%. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38:e13062, 2019
