Abstract

Aluminum wastes are widespread in the El Oued region of south-eastern Algeria, particularly in Aluminium workshops and factories. Because aluminum has a high heat conductivity, it can be used to increase the performance of solar stills. Two comparable solar stills were tested for this; one was used as reference solar still SSR, while the other contained Aluminium waste and was used as a modified solar still SSM. When compared to the reference still SSR, the results demonstrate that there is a 33.72 % improvement.

Abstract

The lack of drinking water is one of the most important. Solar distillation remains the simple and effective solution to solve this problem, but the yield of solar distillation is low. However, the thermal performance of the solar still is low. Several researchers have made various experimental modifications to improve thermal performance. In this experimental modification, palm fibers were introduced to improve the performance of a solar still. The results showed that when using palm fibers there was an improvement of 35.6 % compared to the conventional still.
