System and method for sustainable production of water and salt

Abstract

A system for production of water and salt is disclosed. The system includes a power source, a solar still, a brine collector, an atmospheric water generator and a plasma treatment chamber. The solar still includes a saltwater inlet, a brine outlet, a humid air outlet, and at least one transparent window for directing solar radiation into the solar still and heating incoming saltwater. The brine collector receives brine from the solar still and performs a drying process to produce salt. The atmospheric water generator includes a humid air inlet connected to the humid air outlet of the solar still and is configured to generate freshwater which is directed to a plasma treatment chamber for production of plasma activated water. The solar still may include a flow management structure of multiple transparent layers for increased efficiency. The multiple transparent layers may be inclined and formed of a synthetic polymer.
