Progress of adsorption cycle and its hybrids with conventional multi-effect desalination processes

摘要: AbstractThe water energy environment nexus is an important issue in today’s development of desalination for potable production. Engineers and scientists are striving not only more efficient technology, they concern with the impact terms CO2 emissions discharge chemical laden brine into sea. The complexity available technologies dictates engineers to be aware environmental from both fundamental sciences technology processes. thermodynamics limit known have consumption 0·78 1·09 kWhe per m3, but practical processes operated at several folds higher than thermodynamic due irreversible losses incurred removing dissolved salts. Although recent advances membrane has energetic benchmark 3·5–5 m−3 or about 14·5 kWh_pe (primary energy) high production rates protection membranes resulted...
