This paper reviews various functional materials used in desalination. Desalination of the
abundant seawater resource has emerged as a promising technology to meet the current …

Solar still (SS) technology is one of the economic technologies for the conversion of impure
water to pure form. A solar still is a device that mimics the way nature makes rain. A SS has …

The declining freshwater resources can be overcome using thermal desalination methods
such as solar still. However, the productivity of a solar still is highly dependent on the …

The authors proposed a closed loop inclined wick solar still (CLIWSS) containing an
additional heat storage water reservoir. A reservoir is used to hold the hot water that exits the …

The main objective of this research is to obtain the best arrangement of new extended
cylindrical iron fins that achieve the highest productivity of hemispherical solar distillers. To …

In this paper, a new method of incorporating sand troughs is proposed to enhance the
performance of a single slope solar still performance with 1.5 m 2 aperture area …

Presence of hardness ions in the municipal drinking water is the major health concern. So to
minimize the hardness of drinking water up to the environmental protection authority (EPA) …

Water scarcity is one of the major problems facing the worldwide humankind due to the
growing population, water pollution and climate change. Therefore, producing freshwater …

The utilization of solar energy to distillate the brackish water is paramount to deal with the
environmental downsides along with the inadequate reserve of fossil fuels. In recent years …

Due to global warming and the salinity of drinkable natural resources, water scarcity has
become a significant impediment to the development of many regions of the world …
