Problems solved by technology

[0004] Yu Guihua and others from the University of Texas at Austin developed a gel with hierarchical nanostructures for seawater evaporation, and its evaporation efficiency can reach 3.2kg / m under one sun 2 / h, but its material strength is only 10 4 Pa, and the preparation process has to go through 10 times of freeze-drying, which is more complicated
[0005] Wang Peng and others from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology have developed a 3D structure seawater evaporator by suction filtering the mixture of graphene oxide and carbon tubes, but its efficiency can only reach 100% under one sun. 1.59kg / m 2 / h

The three-dimensional seawater evaporator disclosed by the invention has the characteristics of simple structure, small size, three-dimensional omnidirectivity and the like; and by reasonably designing the composition, the shape and size of the channel and the composition, the geometric structure and the likeof the reactor unit, high efficiency and high ion interception in the sea water desalination process can be realized, so that the three-dimensional seawater evaporator has wide application prospect in the field of seawater desalination.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a seawater evaporator, in particular to a three-dimensional seawater evaporator and its application, and belongs to the technical fields of material technology and seawater desalination. Background technique [0002] Water is the source of life and an essential resource to support economic and social development. With the rapid development of my country's economy and society and the continuous advancement of urbanization, the shortage of total water resources and the contradiction between time and space have become increasingly prominent. Especially in coastal areas and islands, the lack of water resources has become one of the bottlenecks restricting economic and social development. More than one billion people around the world lack fresh water. Relevant scholars estimate that by 2025, two-thirds of the world's population will face lack of fresh water. At the same time, seawater resources are very rich, and how to desalinate ...
