Problems solved by technology

However, in the existing "air-liquid interface" heating technology, when solar energy heats the seawater at the "air-liquid interface", the heat will be transferred through the lower non-evaporating seawater, resulting in heat loss and reducing the efficiency of seawater desalination

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for heating and desalting seawater based on a gas-liquid interface. The method comprises the following steps: 1) dispersing carbon nanotubes in water and carrying outultrasonic treatment to obtain a carbon nanotube turbid solution; 2) putting the carbon nanotube turbid solution on dust-free paper and filtering in vacuum; then carrying out drying treatment on thedust-free paper to obtain carbon nanotube loaded dust-free paper; 3) after sponge sucks seawater to be desalted, enabling the sponge to be suspended on the surface of the seawater to be desalted; sticking the carbon nanotube loaded dust-free paper on the sponge to obtain carbon nanotube-dust-free paper-sponge which is floated on the surface of the seawater to be desalted; then carrying out light illumination and distilling the seawater to be desalted. According to the method, the carbon nanotube-dust-free paper-sponge is used as a photo-thermal conversion material, the heat energy is sufficiently utilized, the heat loss is reduced and the distillation of the seawater is accelerated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of seawater desalination, in particular to a method for desalinating seawater based on gas-liquid interface heating. Background technique [0002] At present, more than one-third of the world's population lives in water-scarce areas, and the scarcity of fresh water resources is becoming more and more serious, which has become a global environmental problem and even a political problem. Desalination of seawater is considered to be one of the most practical and effective ways to provide a sustainable source of fresh water. Seawater desalination methods can be divided into evaporation method, membrane method, crystallization method, solvent extraction method and ion exchange method according to the separation process. Evaporation method (distillation method) and membrane method are the most widely used in practice. [0003] At present, the most commonly used seawater desalination methods in engineering are multi-stage f...
