Solar desalination using humidification dehumidification process

According to current forecasts, the currently regarded sustainable groundwater supplies will decrease, which would lead to the degradation of agriculture, which might significantly affect food supply, colonial growth, and the ecosystem's general balance. There has been a boom in interest in ecohydrology, the study of how ecosystems and water systems are interconnected. Recent years have witnessed an upsurge in interest in desalination techniques that employ solar energy as a heat source for the evaporation of salt water. a typical solar reflector of this sort A humidifier is needed for a humidification-dehumidification desalination plant. In the humidifier, salt water is provided by nozzles and evaporates in the moving air as it travels through the jute cloth. A fan will be put at the end of the humidifier area to further enhance this technique. As a result, the amount of vapour will rise. Pure water will be recovered from the moist air utilizing condensation in a dehumidifier. Jute is utilized as the humidifier filler in the recommended device, which is targeted at creating 20 L of water per day on a 2 m(2) floor surface. Saline water may be warmed utilizing the latent heat gathered from the moist air. Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
