Problems solved by technology

However, seawater is only desalinated by the sun’s irradiation. Since seawater absorbs heat slowly and converts a very small amount into fresh water, and the water vapor in the atmosphere only accounts for 13,000 cubic kilometers (about 0.001%) at any known time, this simple utilization Solar desalination is inefficient

Abstract

The invention provides a sea water desalination method based on the photothermal effect of copper nanoparticles. The method includes the steps: covering a cellulose membrane with the copper nanoparticles; placing the cellulose membrane with the surface covered with the copper nanoparticles into a sea water surface to be desalinated; irradiating the surface of the cellulose membrane by a light source; evaporating sea water; collecting the evaporated water; desalinating the sea water. The copper nanoparticles can nearly completely and all-dimensionally absorb sunlight in a wideband manner, solarenergy is efficiently converted into heat energy, the cellulose membrane with a porous surface is highly hydrophilic, can float on the water surface, accelerates water pumping water delivery and cooperates with the photothermal effect of the copper nanoparticles, so that the cellulose membrane can be applied to the evaporation process of the sea water in nature, solar energy use ratio and water evaporation efficiency are greatly increased, the method can be widely applied to sea water desalination, the energy can be effectively used, and environments can be protected.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a seawater desalination method, in particular to a seawater desalination method based on the photothermal effect of copper nanoparticles, and belongs to the fields of solar energy utilization and seawater desalination treatment. Background technique [0002] The volume of water on the earth is about 136 million cubic kilometers, oceans account for 132 million cubic kilometers (about 97.2%); glaciers and ice sheets account for 25 million cubic kilometers (about 1.8%); groundwater accounts for 13 million cubic kilometers (about 0.9%); fresh water in lakes, inland seas, and rivers accounts for 250,000 cubic kilometers (about 0.02%); atmospheric water vapor accounts for 13,000 cubic kilometers (about 0.001%) at any given time, and That is to say, the water source that can really be utilized is less than 0.1%. Fresh water resources on land only account for about 2.53% of the total water bodies on the earth, and nearly 70% of them a...
