Abstract

The invention provides a closed type reverse electrodialysis generation device based on asymmetric ion exchange membranes. A reverse electrodialysis module of the generation device comprises asymmetric zwitterion exchange membranes in alternative arrangement, the diffusion of the ion is convenient, the thickness of the membrane layer is comparatively small at the same time, so that the membrane resistance is effectively reduced; secondly, by adopting the carbon nano-tube / lithium manganate electrode which is free from combining with the cathode and anode chambers, a salinity gradient generationdevice is simplified; furthermore, the device further performs heat exchange process in the system while utilizing the waste heat, and the energy is saved when the waste heat is converted into the electric energy; the working liquid is recycled in the whole generation process, the consumption of the salt and the water is greatly saved. The generation method based on the generation device has theadvantages of being small in membrane resistance, small in concentration polarization phenomenon, and high in generation efficiency. Numerous problems in the prior art are solved, and the method and device have good application prospect in the salinity gradient generation field.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of using waste heat to generate electricity. More specifically, it relates to a closed reverse electrodialysis power generation method and device using waste heat. Background technique [0002] After the second industrial revolution, mankind entered the "Electrical Age". The rapid development of human economic activities has promoted the increasing demand for energy. Today, electricity has become an important driving force for social development and one of the indispensable energy sources for production and life. Traditional mainstream power generation methods have disadvantages such as non-renewable, low power generation efficiency, and environmental pollution. The use of fossil fuels to generate electricity leads to climate change, and the increasingly depleted fossil fuels make human beings face severe energy security issues. Hydropower generation affects the natural environment and biological survival. N...
