Waste Water Purification by Using Solar Energy

Authors(2) :-T. Manimohan, Dr. Smt. G. Prasanthi

The most important aspect for life on earth is water. Inspite of its abundant availability small percentage can be used for drinking purpose (approximate 1%). The solar water distillation comes out to be a nontoxic and promising device which purifies water that uses a renewable solar energy source. Efficiency of the solar water distillation device can be enhanced by increasing evaporation rate that is combined effect of solar radiation, and provide additional heat by solar water preheating system. The main objective of this work is purifying the water from waste water by using solar energy with the process of distillation. It is proposed to fabricate system the experimental set up for this purpose.
