A new system of
vaporizers working with the help of solar energy can reduce the cost of
purifying water. Researchers
have explored ways to purify seawater using solar heating in the past, but these
methods have some problems such as high costs and complexity, for example, the
long-term viability of the system as a result of salt build-up.
A group of researchers from the American University of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) has found a solution to protect the tools used to make the salt
vessels from damage. This new tool is not only more useful but the methods used
in it are also less expensive. The method can also be used to treat wastewater
in remote areas and disinfect medical instruments. In this new system, no other
energy is needed except sunlight. In that study, their detectors ran for a week
with no signs of salt build-up. Today's solar water purification systems use
devices that remove salty water. But these tools are easily damaged by the salt
build-up and are very difficult to clean. New technology does not require such
tools.
This method is based on
a multi-stage system that relies on the physically dynamic circulation of water
heated by the sun and the cold reservoirs of water below it. Natural
circulation pulls salt from the surface of the water into larger, cooler
reservoirs below. It's just like warm air rising and cold air falling.
