I need a primary resource for my research paper.

Post by sonari »

My topic is "Can you use solar energy to purify salt water,". What I have done so far is my hypothesis and statement of purpose and know I need my research. I'm trying to purify salt water with solar energy so is it possible? Also,if its possible is it cheaper to get it from a factory or by using the suns energy?

Hi,

Yes it is possible to remove salt from salt water using solar energy. Here are some project ideas:

You caan also generate electrical poseer usin photophotaic cells and use it to energize reverse osmosis desalinization plants, to name but one alternative. To find out more searh Google for reverse osmosis.

I hope this gets you started. This is a big importantaNT TOPIC. Have fun with it!
