In this work, an endeavor has been made to purify waste water by using solar still and the purity of water has been examined using physico-chemical properties such as taste, odour, pH, electrical conductivity, TDS, total alkalinity, total hardness, magnesium, magnesium hardness, calcium, calcium hardness, sulphate, nitrate, iron, chloride, silica were shows the purity of water. Standard methods were used for determinatio n of physical and chemical characteristics of the waste water and distilled water. The outcomes were equaled with standards prescribed by IS:(10500-1991). As a result, the physico-chemical parameters exceeded the water quality standards and the waste water (Brackish water) is unfit for drinking purpose as it was contaminated and the quality of water is very bad. It needs some degree of treatment before consumption. Hence the waste water is cleansed by means of solar still and found that the physicochemical parameters are underneath permissible limit of IS:(10500-1991). From these results it is clear that, purification of waste water by using solar still is an optimistic approach fo r the production of drinking water and also can be used as a purifier in brackish area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
