Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of seawater desalination, in particular to a system for desalinating seawater by using waste heat from a power plant. Background technique
[0002] There are many methods for desalination of seawater, and the main ones that can achieve large-scale and industrialization are membrane method and thermal method. The membrane method is also called the reverse osmosis method, which utilizes the principle of osmotic pressure. This method uses a semi-permeable membrane to separate the fresh water from the salt. Under normal circumstances, a semipermeable membrane allows the solvent in the solution to pass through, but does not allow the solute to pass through. Due to the high salt content of seawater, if a semipermeable membrane is used to separate seawater from freshwater, the freshwater will diffuse to one side of the seawater through the semipermeable membrane, thereby raising the liquid level on the seawater side until ...
