Abstract

Scarcity of water in this world can be solved by removal of salinity from sea-water but this salinity removal is usually a costly and tedious task. In this work an efficient process has been developed for desalination of water using food waste materials which is completely eco-friendly and economic. A large number of starch rich food materials have been employed for the purpose of desalination of water and it was observed that all of them are effective to remove the salt contained from water, however it was observed that all of those food materials were not equally effective to remove salt contained. Cornflour was seen to be most effective which can remove salinity from sea water up 75-80%. This technology has a great prospect to evolve as a novel and green method for the purpose of desalination of water in near future.
