Role of Advance Solar Desalination Technique for Sustainable Development

Abstract

Researchers are constantly doing research which beneficial for our environment and society, at the same time; it is also beneficial to the economy. Environment is affected by various activities of the human being. The use of fossil fuel emits greenhouse gases, which is causing the harmful effects to the environment. Therefore more research is being done on renewable energy in the present time. This paper shows sustainability development in the field of Solar Desalination, the desalination process is divided into two parts, the first is direct solar desalination, and the second is indirect solar desalination. In direct solar desalination, sustainability is explained by solar still. Cost analysis, CO2 emissions, and social benefits have been studied through previous paper in the field of solar still. In indirect Solar Desalination shows CO2 emission and cost analysis of RO-system. After study some previous paper, it was observed that solar still produces 15.6 tons less carbon comparison to other direct solar distillation technology. In this paper it has been shown that the fabrication cost of double slope stills is less than that of single slope and also it was observed that the fabrication cost and distilled water cost of solar energy based indirect ROsystem is 33% lower than the other RO-system. After analyzing the daily productivity it was observed that if daily yield was increases then the cost of distilled water will be reduced.
