Abstract

The present research focuses on designing and testing a novel, cost-effective solar thermal hydrodistillation system for cow urine distillation. Experimental investigations have shown that the distillate's most significant ingredient was phosphonic acid (81.13%), a critical antiviral agent used in prodrug formulations to treat cancer, HIV, and hepatitis B. Solar-powered cow urine distillate is odourless and drinkable without dilution. This distillate had 0.88% ammonia and 2.25% nitrogen, which was 80% less than the market-based cow urine distillate. This investigation also showed that cow-urine distillate is anxiolytic and anti-depressant. A 40% cow urine distillate dosage is helpful in diabetes management. Cancer cell reduction increases as the cow urine distillate dose exceeds 10%. Thus, it can be concluded that prepared cow urine distillate is helpful in treating some life-threatening diseases.
