READ MOREThe document discusses solar water distillation as a method for purifying water. It begins by noting that over 1 billion people lack access to clean drinking water. It then explains that solar distillation works by evaporating water using sunlight, with the vapor condensing as pure water. Key factors that affect evaporation rates are identified.
READ MORESolar-assisted distillation is considered promising to solve the freshwater supply for off-grid communities. In this work, a passive and flexible multistage membrane distillation (F-MSMD) device is devised to produce freshwater via solar distillation with the latent heat of vapor condensation being recycled to enhance its energy efficiency. By

READ MORESolar water distillation is a solar technology with a very long history and installations were built over 2000 years ago, although to produce salt rather than drinking water. Documented use of solar stills began in the sixteenth century. An early large-scale solar still was built in 1872 to supply a mining community in Chile with drinking water.
