  4. PURIFICATION OF SALTY WATER BY SOLAR ENERGY

    INTRODUCTION

    Purification of salty water by solar energy means tp purify water by separating harmful ingredients such as solids and micro- organisms . With the help of solar energy , water from liquid state changes into water vapours because of heat suplied by Sun rays and after , with the help of a condensing machine , water vapours changes into purified water.

    Figure : PURIFICATION OF WATER BY
    SOLAR ENERGY

    PROCEDURE

    When the incident rays of the Sun hits to the Convex mirror , reflected rays falls onto the Transparent water tubes . Due to the Sun rays falls onto the Transparent tubes,
    Salty water starts sublimating means it starts transforming from water into water vopours and due to boiling of water , all harmful micro-organisms will starts preventing and all unwanted solid particles get separated from water. After this , a Condencing machine which transforms water vapours into water means in liquid state . Thus , all harmful microbes and unwanted solid particles get separated and by adding minerals that are required in water tank at uniform composition , water becomes purified. Hence by this process , salty water can be purified.

    RESULT

    Water can be purified by this process .
