As águas consumidas em localidades do Território Sertão Produtivo–BA apresentam características físico-químicas que evidenciam um elevado teor de salinidade. O processo dessalinização solar destaca-se por seu caráter sustentável, utilização fonte energia limpa, baixo custo e aplicabilidade no fornecimento água potável, especialmente pequenas comunidades, apesar sua baixa produção diária. Este estudo propôs a construção protótipo dessalinizador para remoção íons conferem salinidade essas...
