Silicon nitride ceramic materials have excellent thermal stability, high oxidation resistance and high dimensional accuracy. Since silicon nitride is a covalent compound with high bond strength and can form an oxide protective film in air, it also has good chemical stability. It is not oxidized below 1200 ° C, and a protective film is formed at 1200 to 1600 ° C to prevent further. It is oxidized and is not wetted or corroded by many kinds of molten metals or alloys such as aluminum, lead, tin, silver, brass, nickel, etc., but can be corroded by molten materials such as magnesium, nichrome, and stainless steel.

Israel solar distillation pollutes water into drinking water
Due to the lack of infrastructure and limited access to clean water, water shortages and pollution have become major global challenges, particularly in developing nations. Recently, an Israeli technology company introduced a groundbreaking solution: a solar-powered device capable of converting polluted or saltwater into safe drinking or agricultural water. This innovation offers a fresh and sustainable approach to addressing the world's water crisis.
The idea of turning contaminated water into potable water sounds almost too good to be true. However, this Israeli firm has developed a system that uses solar distillation—without any additional energy sources. According to the company’s founder, Ronald Silver, this is a revolutionary breakthrough in water purification.
“This is a game-changing and innovative technology. Our pre-production model is unique, entirely eco-friendly, and doesn’t rely on any external infrastructure or power sources beyond solar energy. We’ve redefined the way we design, distill, and produce pure water, making it economically viable for the first time ever.â€
So how does this solar distillation system actually work? Ronald explains that the unit features a large, dish-shaped solar panel covering about 4 square meters. It efficiently heats up liquid water, turning it into vapor, which then condenses into clean, drinkable water.
“We use scientific methods to transform water from liquid to gas, leaving all impurities behind. That’s why our system produces more purified water than any other existing technology, and it ensures the highest level of purity.â€
Simi Timmers, the CEO of the company, emphasized that despite its advanced design, the device is user-friendly and requires minimal maintenance. “We designed it with non-engineers in mind. Even if someone has no technical background, they can operate it easily. The maintenance costs are low, and there are no extra overheads over time.â€
This device can generate approximately 400 liters of purified water per day. Many countries, especially in Africa, have already shown strong interest in the technology. Avner Aydin, a water expert from Hebrew University in Jerusalem, believes there is significant potential for such systems in developing regions. “It could be a game-changer for remote rural areas, where access to clean water is scarce. In the future, this technology may be scaled up for larger applications.â€
The device is expected to hit the market by the end of the year, with a price range between $10,000 and $25,500. (Reported by Yao Yanxia and Zheng Liheng)
