    This document summarizes a technical seminar on water purification using solar stills. It introduces different types of solar stills including spherical, hemispherical, and pyramid designs. It discusses how solar stills use solar energy to distill water and remove impurities through evaporation and condensation. Benefits are that solar stills produce high quality water with minimal maintenance or costs. Estimates show a solar still can produce around 4 liters of water per day.

    A Technical Seminar on

    WATER PURIFICATION USING


    SOLAR STILL

    Under the guidance of

    INTRODUCTION

    • A solar still is a simple way

    of distilling water.

    • It uses solar energy to distill the water.

    • It removes impurities such as salt and

    other microbiological organisms.

    2
    Water Impurities

    • Suspended particles.
    • Dissolved inorganic salts.
    • Dissolved organic compounds.
    • Micro-organisms.

    • Pyrogens.

    3
    Types of purification

    • Distillation.
    • Vapour compression.
    • Reverse osmosis.

    4
    Benefits of Distillation

    • It produces water of high quality.


    • Maintenance is almost negligible.
    • Any type of water can be purified into potable water
    by means of this process.
    • Wastage of water will be minimum.

    5
    Types of solar still

    • Spherical solar still.


    • Hemispherical solar still.
    • Pyramid solar still.

    Working of solar still

    10
    Concept for making a good solar
    still
    • The cover can be either glass or plastic.
    • Glass is preferable to plastic because most plastic
    degrades in the long term due to ultra violet light
    from sunlight.
    • The use of the mirror reflector will increase the
    temperature of the solar still basin.
    • Sufficient Insulations of wool, thermocol, sealants
    etc. must be provided inside the basin in order to
    prevent loss of heat.

    11
    Estimation of water output
     

    Q=
    A = Aperture area of the still in
    E = Efficiency of the still usually taken as 50%
    G = Global radiation energy in MJ/(Approx. 18 MJ/)

    Estimate: 3.91 liters/ /day

    12
    Advantages
    • Free of charge sun energy (during sunlight it
    eliminates 500 Watt electric consumption per one
    hour of sunlight).
    • There are no moving parts; it is therefore reliable and
    almost maintenance free (cleaning is required
    though).
    • Water taste is claimed to be better since the device
    act as a Solar Water Vaporizer and it doesn’t boil the
    water (resembling rain water).
    • Neutral pH is claimed (like rainwater), not like the
    not neutral pH of steamed distilled water.
    13
    Disadvantages

    • Low distillate output per unit area.


    • Leakage of vapour through joints.
    • High maintenance.
    • Productivity decreases with time for a variety of
    reasons.

    Conclusion
    • It was found from the experimental analysis that
    increasing the ambient temperature from 32°C to
    47°C will increase the productivity by approximate
    12 to 23%.
    • It was observed that when the water depth increases
    from 0.01m to 0.03m the productivity decreased by
    5%.
    • Solar still productivity can also increase by use of
    reflector by 3%.
    • Capital cost can be reduced by using different designs
    and new materials for construction of solar stills. 17
