Abstract:
Lack of clean and pure drinking water has always been the biggest problem in many growing nations. Because of the presence of germs and other dangerous species, drinking water should never be taken directly from the source. It also has the contained dissolved salts which make it unusable for drinking purposes. While there is an adequate supply of seawater in many countries near coastal region, but there is not an enough supply of drinkable water. In such situations desalination can bring miraculous results by increasing the availability of sufficient quantity of usable water. Amongst various technologies, solar desalination proves to be less expensive methods to supply usable water to such communities. Solar stills can be used as a key method to such problem which will reduce the scarcity of potable water. Solar stills use abundantly and freely available solar energy and hence the problem of shortage of potable water can be addressed using them. The productivity & efficiency of the solar stills have been the key research area and many researchers have tried to improve them. This chapter include the work carried out by researchers on the solar still to enhance the performance of solar stills. Various techniques of improving the productivity & efficiency of solar stills such as design modification, meteorological factors, incorporation of metallic fins, use of thermal energy storage material either sensible heat storage (Pebbles, gravels, sand etc.) or latent heat storage materials (phase change material (PCM), nano embedded PCM) to enhance the distillate output have been discussed in this chapter.
