Abstract
This communicating article reviews desalination by solar still, and the recent studies on the solar still systems. The review includes basic principle of solar distillation, and also the quality of distilled water. A classification of the solar still systems was made in order to explain the types of solar still systems. General mathematical modeling methodology of solar stills and some mathematical modeling studies are given. The efficiency and performance of the solar still system are also given and discussed.
