Purification of Water by Harvesting Solar Radiation in a Rare-Earth (RE)-ion Quantum-dot Glass Evaporator
High-quality supply of drinking water is essential for maintaining good health and environment. The quality of water-supply infrastructure symbolizes the progress and prosperity of a nation. Increasing population overburden and unpredictable climate change on earth is making drinking water resources scarce, consequently large parts of tropics and sub-tropics are affected adversely. For making pathogen/toxic chemical-free drinking water available, low-cost sustainable approach for water purification is essential, especially in the impoverished regions of the tropics and sub-tropics, where the sunlight is abundant. In order to provide solution for this crisis of drinking water shortage, my Q.dot-PurE-WatER MC project focusses on exploiting quantum (Q)-dot rare-earth(RE)-ion-doped glass from waste phosphor lamps for re-engineering solar-energy harvesting water evaporator and filtration system, called the solar-still as demo. In a demo solar-still, the Q-dot paint layer will be applied for enhancing black-body absorption for heating water to above 95oC for killing pathogens. The solar-still will also store energy by utilizing the organic lauric acid phase change mixture for using heat after sunset. The evaporated water will be filtered through photo-sensitized nano filter for destroying vapour-transported pathogens and chemicals. My goal is to demonstrate favourable impact of solar-still for the purification of dirty water of Ganges River in collaborative research training activities at the IIT-BHU in Varanasi, India and the St. James Hospital and Water@leeds in Leeds UK. This demonstration will be achieved as a result of four training packages including impact pathways, spread over 24-months, which will include six 15-days short visits to Varnasi, India.
