Abstract

Safe and fresh water is one of the major requirements all over the world and solar energy is liberally and radically accessible in the earth. Among different types of desalination process, solar distillation is one of the most useful methods. Solar still is eco-friendly and economical device. Fresh water is very desirable for the rural inhabitants. Researchers have worked on various aspects of solar still for its efficient and economical use e.g. various types of absorbing materials were used to observe their produce on the yield of the solar distillation. In the present article, a review has been presented on various recent researches carried out in the field of solar desalination.
