A comprehensive study on amalgamation of sustainable solar powered distillation for arsenic and fluoride removal from...

Due to the growing population and rapid urbanization, fresh water is becoming increasingly scarce. Apart from drinking, clean water is essential in a variety of applications such as batteries, pharmaceuticals, vehicles, and many research and development labs. Due to the unfeasible deficiency of the groundwater reserves, we must understand the importance of judicious usage and proper supervision of the groundwater resources. For the removal of various harmful substances in the groundwater such as arsenic, fluorides, and chlorides, we take the help of groundwater distillation. With the increase in environmental pollutions caused due to the use of injudicious usage of natural resources, we should look for an alternative for groundwater distillation techniques using renewable energy such as solar power. Groundwater is widely acknowledged as a major supply of water for drinking, agriculture, and a variety of other uses. Researchers have also employed solar distillation to transform groundwater into drinkable water. Hence, the main aim of the review paper is that we use solar power for groundwater distillation as solar energy is both a pressing necessity and a vital supply for all living things. Solar energy utilization is essential due to increased global warming and pollution, and it is being replaced by the traditional use of fuels in the globe today. We majorly focus on the removal of harmful compounds such as arsenic and fluoride from the groundwater with the help of solar-powered distillation techniques. The role of renewable energy technology in the sustainability of future water systems with a growing demanding share of groundwater distillation is presented in this paper.
