Comparative Analysis of Design Parameters Impacting the Performance of Pyramidal and Spherical Solar Stills: A Review

Desalination and Water Treatment, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 319, P. 100545 - 100545

Published: June 19, 2024

Population growth, urbanization, and the effects of climate change all exacerbate problem global water scarcity, which poses a serious obstacle to sustainable development. Solar distillation emerges as critical solution, converting brackish or saline into potable using alternative energy. Despite wealth information on solar still adaptations, identifying most efficient design for residential industrial settings remains challenging. Hence, comparative analysis various designs is essential, considering practical financial aspects. This study aims showcase work researchers who are trying make systems more productive by looking at new techniques used in spherical pyramidal stills. The goal this research identify variables that influence efficiency, enabling achievement desired results with ease. Researchers have investigated interventions, such integrating moving parts other components, modifying basin's shape size, incorporating filaments wick, reducing surface tension through use floats balls, magnetic fields, improving electric field. According research, field (220 mT) above below basin increases molecular motion evaporation, resulting 41 % efficiency gain. Spherical stills don't require tracking because their uniform exposure radiation makes them than pyramid Reviews find adding rotating ball phase-changing materials significantly enhances stills, making best design. Mirrors reflect sunlight; an overview related literature shows it leads additional production. Future will focus comprehending annual production rates associated costs, aiming enhance our application strategies technology.

Harnessing Deep Learning for Real-Time Water Quality Assessment: A Sustainable Solution

Water, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(23), P. 3380 - 3380

Published: Nov. 24, 2024

This study presents an innovative approach utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) for the prediction and classification of water quality parameters based on physico-chemical measurements. The primary objective was to enhance accuracy, speed, accessibility monitoring. Data collected from various samples in Algeria were analyzed determine key such as conductivity, turbidity, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS). These measurements integrated into deep neural networks (DNNs) predict indices sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), magnesium hazard (MH), percentage (SP), Kelley’s (KR), potential salinity (PS), exchangeable (ESP), well Water Quality Index (WQI) Irrigation (IWQI). DNNs model, optimized through selection activation functions hidden layers, demonstrated high precision, with a correlation coefficient (R) 0.9994 low root mean square error (RMSE) 0.0020. AI-driven methodology significantly reduces reliance traditional laboratory analyses, offering real-time assessments that are adaptable local conditions environmentally sustainable. provides practical solution resource managers, particularly resource-limited regions, efficiently monitor make informed decisions public health agricultural applications.

Microbial drinking water monitoring now and in the future

Microbial Biotechnology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 17(7)

Published: July 1, 2024

Abstract Over time, humanity has addressed microbial water contamination in various ways. Historically, individuals resorted to producing beer combat the issue. Fast forward 19th century, and we witnessed a scientific approach by Robert Koch. His groundbreaking gelatine plating method aimed identify quantify bacteria, with proposed limit of 100 colony‐forming units per millilitre (CFU/mL) avoid Cholera outbreaks. Despite considerable advancements techniques through experimentation media compositions growth temperatures, reliance on century‐old for safety remains state‐of‐the‐art. Even though most countries succeed qualitative at end production centres, it is difficult control, guarantee, same quality during distribution. Rather than focusing solely specific sampling points, propose holistic examination entire network ensure comprehensive safety. Current practices leave room uncertainties, especially given low concentrations pathogens. Innovative methods like flow cytometry cytometric fingerprinting offer ability detect changes microbiome drinking water. Additionally, molecular emerging sequencing technologies, such as third‐generation (MinION), mark significant leap forward, enhancing detection limits emphasizing identification unwanted genes rather bacteria/microorganisms itself. last decades, there been realization that distribution networks are complex ecosystems that, beside comprise viruses, protozoans even isopods. Sequencing find eukaryotic DNA necessary monitor network. Or will artificial intelligence, big data machine learning prove be way go (microbial) monitoring? In essence, time transcend embrace modern technologies our from consumption.
