Abstract

solar energy has been serving as a great source for purification of water through distillation, this could be enhanced by employing solar stills with nano particles suspended in water for filtration of impure industrial waste water. The proposed model provides a system where the solar still helps to distill water by evaporation and condensation. It is automated using a microcontroller. By this method the demand for clean water and the retrieval of abundant impure water are both tallied to meet the on growing domestic and industrial necessities. The advantage of this process on a higher end is that the presence of toxic particles in the feed water is eliminated by incorporating nanoparticles namely Silicon carbide. Keeping pollution in mind, this system employs and operates in an eco-friendly manner. The natural nutrient composition of water are retained in the process.
