Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective Water Purification for Highly Polluted and Saline Sources Using Solar Powered Distillation and Activated Carbon.

The research project focuses on addressing the household water crisis in Bangladesh by utilizing abundant water sources and energy resources. It involves developing and implementing a solar-powered distillation and activated carbon treatment system. By harnessing solar energy and local resources, the system effectively treats highly saline water bodies and arsenic-contaminated Tube-wells, mitigating the adverse effects of salinity and arsenic contamination in water sources. The project aims to provide clean and safe drinking water to households facing water scarcity and contamination. The study highlights the system's ability to remove pollutants, heavy metals, bacteria, viruses, and salinity, addressing the immediate needs of affected communities. By utilizing abundant energy resources and producing activated carbon locally, the project promotes resource optimization and sustainability. Additionally, the research findings indicate the system's versatility in treating various polluted water sources, demonstrating its potential for scalability and widespread adoption beyond arsenic-contaminated sources. This innovative solution has the potential to revolutionize water purification techniques and offer a sustainable remedy for global water-related challenges. The successful implementation of solar-powered distillation and activated carbon treatment systems has significant implications for solving the household water crisis in Bangladesh. By utilizing abundant resources, both in terms of water sources and energy, the project provides a practical and efficient approach to addressing water scarcity and contamination.
