ppt on solar distillation

[Rajasekhar Babu M]

Solar distillation is the use of solar energy to evaporate water and collect its condensate within the same closed system. Unlike other forms of water purification it can turn salt or brackish water into fresh drinking water (i.e. desalination). The structure that houses the process is known as a solar still and although the size, dimensions, materials, and configuration are varied, all rely on the simple procedure wherein an influent solution enters the system and the more volatile solvents leave in the effluent leaving behind the salty solute behind.

Solar distillation differs from other forms of desalination that are more energy-intensive, such as methods such as reverse osmosis, or simply boiling water due to its use of free energy.A very common and, by far, the largest example of solar distillation is the natural water cycle that the Earth experiences.

Dear Sir,
I would like to do Ph.D. on Solar Water Distillation , please provide me a Literature review
