Electrolysis-Based Seawater Desalination and Water Purification System

Abstract

This project presents a method for separating seawater into its basic components using the process of electrolysis. The main aim is to address the  growing need for fresh water by developing an efficient and eco-friendly technique for water purification. In this system, We send electricity through the seawater, which breaks water splits into two gases — hydrogen and oxygen gases while allowing the separation of salts and impurities.

The project involves designing and implementing an electrolysis setup using suitable electrodes, power supply, and sensors to monitor parameters such as voltage, current, temperature, and conductivity. To see how effective the system actually is analyzed based on water purification efficiency, energy consumption, and salt extraction capability.

Compared to conventional desalination methods like reverse osmosis, this method has some clear benefits such as simpler design and suitability for small-scale applications. However, challenges like energy requirements and electrode degradation are also considered. The results of this project aim to provide a practical and sustainable solution for seawater treatment and contribute to future advancements in water purification technologies.
