The objective of the present study is to evaluate the sustainability of solar still by enhancing the condensation rate using natural fibers on the glass cover. It is accomplished by employing naturally available Banana Fibers (BF) and Jute Fibers (JF) over the glass of the solar still (SS). The experimental investigation on Conventional Solar Still (CSS), Solar Still with Banana Fibers (SSBF) and Solar Still with Jute Fibers (SSJF) is conducted under similar meteorological conditions. The results reported that the glass cover temperatures of SSBF and SSJF are significantly reduced by 23% and 28% respectively relative to CSS. Also, the condensation rate in SSJF is comparatively better than SSBF and CSS. The significant factor for improving the condensation rate is the absorption, retention, and porosity of natural fibers. Nevertheless, the potable water yield of CSS, SSBF, and SSJF is noticed as 2.23, 2.87, and 3.18 L/m2, respectively. Besides, the viability of solar stills is assessed by economic analysis and the cost per liter (CPL) of water obtained from SSJF is about $ 0.029 with a payback period (PBP) of 4.7 months whereas SSBF and CSS are having a CPL of $ 0.034 and $ 0.041 with a PBP of 5.6 months and 6.8 months respectively.

“…Besides, bamboo straw, banana leaf stem and rice straw enhance the condensation rate due to their porous structures (Ghaly et al;Mounika et al 2012;Sengphet et al 2014;Sharma et al 2015;Assis et al 2015;Costes et al 2017;Huang et al 2017;Judawisastra et al 2017),from which water can be continuously absorbed and reduce the glass cover temperatures throughout the experiment.…”

“…Some sources such as cotton and abutilon have smaller diameters than reported for musaceae. The density of the fibres of the Musaceae pseudostem is between 650 and 1500 kg/m 3 , which is within the characteristic values of lignocellulosic fibres and is lower than other types of fibre such as glass, which has a higher density of 2550 kg/m 3 , being a disadvantage for the latter when it is used as reinforcement in the manufacture of composites because it contributes to the increase in weight [ 9 , 30 , 52 , 55 , 60 ]. While the microfibrillar angle is between 10 and 15°, the microfibrils’ location in the fibres allows for greater resistance to tension [ 30 ].…”

The Musaceae family has significant potential as a source of lignocellulosic fibres and starch from the plant’s bunches and pseudostems. These materials, which have traditionally been considered waste, can be used to produce fully bio-based composites to replace petroleum-derived synthetic plastics in some sectors such as packaging, the automotive industry, and implants. The fibres extracted from Musaceae have mechanical, thermal, and physicochemical properties that allow them to compete with other natural fibres such as sisal, henequen, fique, and jute, among others, which are currently used in the preparation of bio-based composites. Despite the potential use of Musaceae residues, there are currently not many records related to bio-based composites’ developments using starches, flours, and lignocellulosic fibres from banana and plantain pseudostems. In this sense, the present study focusses on the description of the Musaceae components and the review of experimental reports where both lignocellulosic fibre from banana pseudostem and flour and starch are used with different biodegradable and non-biodegradable matrices, specifying the types of surface modification, the processing techniques used, and the applications achieved.
