Distillation and Filtration which is cheaper?
Expect simple filtration by gravity to use less energy than distillation (where you have to take the material to its gaseous state) so it will be cheaper, but if you're considering reverse osmosis (a hi-tech form of filtering) against solar-powered distillation (in a solar still), the running costs of R-O are large, the running costs of a solar still are small.
What method is not used for producing fresh water by desalinating ocean water?
One method not used for producing fresh water by desalinating ocean water is the use of distillation through solar heating, as it is less common compared to reverse osmosis and multi-stage flash distillation. While solar distillation can be effective on a small scale, it is not a widely employed technique for large-scale desalination projects. Instead, more efficient and cost-effective methods like reverse osmosis dominate the industry.
Is there a alternate method for distillation?
Yes, there are alternative methods to distillation such as fractional distillation, steam distillation, and vacuum distillation. These methods are used depending on the specific properties of the substances being separated.
Where to apply the method of distillation and fractional distillation?
Distillation is a method for the separation of liquids components.
How you can obtain the pure water by which procees distillation or fractional distillation?
Distillation is used frequently.
What are the disadvantage of solar energy distillation?
Some disadvantages of solar energy distillation include the high initial cost of setting up the system, the intermittent nature of sunlight leading to fluctuations in production, and the need for proper maintenance and cleaning to ensure optimal efficiency. Additionally, solar distillation may not be suitable for high-volume production compared to other distillation methods.
What are the disadvantages of solar distillation?

What type of desalination is it when you use a cup a pot and a solar light to make the water rise and fall into the cup?
The process you're describing is distillation, though there may be another name for it in the context of desalination. Pure water is distilled off the solution by the sunlight, condenses, then drips into the cup. Solar Distillation, maybe?
Why can't we remove salt from ocean water?
We can. Available options include distillation and reverse osmosis. The problem with large scale application of this techniques is that they are expensive. On a smaller scale, most lifeboats have solar distillation units to provide fresh drinking water.
Why can't we use solar energy for distillation?
You have a misconception here as solar energy definitely can be used to perform distillations. However for more than trivial quantities large arrays of mirrors are required to concentrate the sunlight to get high temperature needed for the process to be efficient and practical.
Other than stills is there a different way of solar distillation?
You can do what i call reverse distillation. You raise the temp of the water to just below its boiling point so that non of the water evaporates. However other substances in the water with lower boiling points will still distill off.
Is there a alternate method for distillation?
Yes, there are alternative methods to distillation such as fractional distillation, steam distillation, and vacuum distillation. These methods are used depending on the specific properties of the substances being separated.

What does distillation?
Distillation is the separation of two substances by boiling.
