“…The salinity of freshwater from such systems is less than 10 ppm, which is lower than that of solar‐driven RO desalination (in the range of 200‐400 ppm) . The output of these systems is 10 times more than solar still desalinations with the same solar collectors . Pretreatment is not needed in these systems even when SFW with high salinities is used.…”

“…21 The output of these systems is 10 times more than solar still desalinations with the same solar collectors. 19,85 Pretreatment is not needed in these systems even when SFW with high salinities is used. However, they are energy intensive and need both thermal and electrical energies 73 ; thus, they are preferred to be combined with other technologies such as RO.…”

Summary This paper is motivated by the crisis of freshwater in remote areas around the world and responds to the growing need for sustainable food production in arid lands. It focuses on utilizing solar energy to yield freshwater from the sea or brackish water with less environmental impacts, for greenhouses, which can produce sustainable food all over the year. The integration of various solar‐driven desalinations such as solar still, humidification‐dehumidification, reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, and multieffect and multistage flash with greenhouses are evaluated, for better sustainability towards greenization. The paper first discusses the specifications of solar‐driven desalinations and compares their advantages and limitations. Then, different types of greenhouses are introduced, and their total water requirement is discussed based on their locations, crop type, greenhouse technology, irrigation type, and environmental conditions, as well as their cooling and heating strategies. Later, the existing integration of solar‐driven desalinations with greenhouses are reviewed, and their advantages and limitations are deliberated. Finally, the paper discusses the criteria to be considered when selecting solar‐driven desalinations for greenhouses and presents a detailed comparison between the water production rate and cost as well as the energy consumption of these systems. In the end, the most appropriate combinations of solar‐driven desalinations with greenhouses are recommended based on their water requirement and production cost.

“…The distillate production rate from MSF desalination process depends primarily on the brine temperature, number of stages, feed water salinity and fouling resistance of the brine heater. The plant distillate production can be increased by increasing the temperature difference between discharged hot brine and inlet seawater temperature [48]. Distillate production in solar multi stage flash desalination could be increased by using water as the heat transfer fluid in solar collectors and also by increasing the size of thermal storage tanks [49].…”

There is an increasing demand for advancing conventional desalination technologies and developing novel solar powered desalination processes. In this chapter, the use of solar powered thermal desalination will be discussed comprehensively. The different existing methods of solar energy utilization for seawater desalination will be discussed, which includes solar stills, solar powered humidification-dehumidification (HDH) desalination, solar diffusion driven desalination, solar membrane distillation, concentrated solar power (CSP) based desalination, and solar pond distillation. The advantages and limitations of these thermal desalination technology will be discussed. In addition, the environmental impacts of solar desalination will be discussed due to its importance for adoption.
