[0068] In one embodiment, the sewage pretreatment unit includes a sedimentation tank for sedimentation of high-salinity waste heat sewage to be treated. Further, the sewage pretreatment unit includes an adsorption tank for removing oil stains.

[0069] To quantitatively show the feasibility of the light energy-based and osmotic energy self-powered system, Table 1 gives the power generation of photovoltaic power generation, photo-thermal power generation, and ion permeation power generation, and the power consumption of the capacitive deionization device for comparison.

[0070] Table 1 Comparison of system daily power generation and daily power consumption

[0071]

[0072] The photovoltaic power generation device selects a photovoltaic panel with a length of 2 meters and a width of 1 meter, with a power generation of 360W. Based on 4 hours of sufficient light during the day, the daily power generation is estimated to be 1.44kWh. The photo-thermal power generation device selects a condenser with a chord length of 3 meters and a length of 1 meter, and the photo-thermal power generation of the photo-thermal power generation device has a photo-thermal conversion efficiency of 12%, with a power generation of 140W. Based on 4 hours of light during the day plus 4 hours of heat release of the chemical heat storage material, the daily power generation is 1.12kWh. The ion permeation power generation device 5 has a single membrane power generation power density of 10W / m 2 , assuming that the ion permeation power generation device 5 has a total of 5 membranes with a length of 1 meter and a width of 1 meter for power generation, with a power generation of 50W, and a working time of 24 hours, the daily power generation is 1.2kWh. The system daily power generation is 3.76kWh in total. The power consumption of the capacitive deionization device 8 is 96W, and the working time is 24 hours, and the daily power consumption is 2.3kWh. In summary, the system daily power generation is greater than the daily power consumption, and the system self-power supply can be completed. In addition, 14 12-volt 100-ampere-hour batteries are used in series, with a total storage capacity of 16.8kWh, which can power the capacitive deionization device 8 to work alone for more than 1 week without power generation equipment.

[0073] In one embodiment, as Fig. 2As shown, the ion permeation power generation device 5 includes positive and negative electrodes, an anion exchange membrane 7, a cation exchange membrane 6, high concentration pools and low concentration pools between the ion exchange membranes. The number of the anion exchange membrane 7, the cation exchange membrane 6, the high concentration pools and the low concentration pools between the ion exchange membranes should be adjusted according to the actual situation, and the number of valves should be adjusted accordingly. The channel structure of the anion exchange membrane 7 and the cation exchange membrane 6 includes but is not limited to a tapered channel structure, and the end with a small pore size is directed towards the low concentration pool to enhance the power generation process. This can be explained by the selectivity of the double electric layer. The Debye length formula of the double electric layer is as follows:

[0074]

[0075] where λ D is the Debye length, ε is the dielectric constant, R g is the universal gas constant, T is the temperature, F is the Faraday constant, and I c is the ionic strength. I c is positively correlated with the ion concentration. As can be seen from the Debye length formula of the double electric layer, the ion concentration in the low concentration pool is small, resulting in a small ionic strength I c , so the Debye length is large, and therefore the double electric layer is large. Directing the end with a small pore size of the tapered channel towards the low concentration pool can further increase the degree of overlap of the double electric layer, increase the ion selectivity of the channel, and enhance the power generation. Similarly, the channel structure of the anion exchange membrane 7 and the cation exchange membrane 6 can also be a composite membrane structure of a straight channel with a large radius, and the end with a small pore size is directed towards the low concentration pool. Similarly, the surface of the channel near the low concentration pool can also be roughened.

[0076] In one embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3 , the high concentration pool receives high-salt waste heat sewage at a certain flow rate through the first valve 16, the third valve 18, and the fifth valve 20, and the low concentration pool receives low-salt waste heat sewage at a certain flow rate through the second valve 17 and the fourth valve 19. The flow rate and waste heat temperature distribution are adjusted to weaken the ion concentration polarization effect and improve the power generation performance of the ion permeation power generation device 5. The control equation of the ion salt difference power generation is as follows:

[0077] Poisson equation:

[0078] Nernst-Planck equation:

[0079] Continuity equation:

[0080] Navier-Stokes equation:

[0081] Fluid energy equation:

[0082] Solid energy equation:

[0083] where, is the partial differential operator, ε is the permittivity, φ is the electric potential, F is the Faraday constant, c i is the ion concentration of the i-th ion, z i is the valence charge number of the i-th ion, D i is the diffusion coefficient of the i-th ion, α i is the reduced Soret coefficient of the i-th ion, J i is the ion flux of the i-th ion, where i = 1 represents the cation and i = 2 represents the anion, u is the velocity, R g is the universal gas constant, T is the temperature, p is the pressure, μ is the dynamic viscosity, a is the thermal diffusivity, k f is the fluid thermal conductivity, k s is the solid thermal conductivity, σ f is the electrical conductivity.

[0084] To quantitatively characterize the influence of velocity and temperature regulation on the power generation performance of the ion permeation power generation device 5, the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equation coupled with the Navier-Stokes equation and the energy equation were solved by the finite element method to simulate the ion salt difference power generation in the nanochannel of the ion permeation power generation device 5. Table 2 shows the comparison of the results with and without velocity and temperature regulation in the nanochannel.

[0085] Table 2 Comparison of results with and without velocity and temperature regulation in the nanochannel

[0086]

[0087] The model without velocity and temperature regulation is given an external flow rate of 0 and a temperature of 20 degrees. The model with velocity and temperature regulation is given an external flow rate of 0.02 m / s and a temperature of 40 degrees. As can be seen from Table 2, the effective concentration ratio and power density of the nanochannel with velocity and temperature regulation are greatly improved compared to those without velocity and temperature regulation. The effective concentration ratio increases from 4.25 to 8.01, an increase of 88.47%; the power density increases from 9.57 W·m -2 to 21.43 W·m -2 , an increase of 123.93%. This is because velocity and temperature can greatly weaken the ion concentration polarization phenomenon, so that a higher concentration ratio is maintained at both ends of the nanochannel, and power generation is more effective. In addition, the increase in temperature also affects the properties of ion salt difference power generation, such as increasing the ion diffusion coefficient and reducing the solvent viscosity. This is more conducive to ion migration, and therefore more conducive to power generation.

[0088] In another embodiment, the capacitive deionization device 8 includes positive and negative electrodes, electrode adsorption materials. The electrode adsorption materials include, but are not limited to, activated carbon fiber, carbon aerogel and carbon nanotube. The capacitive deionization device 8 can desalinate at low pressure and room temperature, with low operating voltage or current, without coupling with high-pressure pumps or heat sources, so it has low energy consumption and the size of the desalination system can be flexibly scaled. The capacitive deionization device 8 has charge-discharge cycle capability and energy storage capability, so it can realize desalination while storing energy.

[0089] In another embodiment, a method of a high-salinity waste heat sewage treatment system based on light energy and osmotic energy self-power supply includes the following steps:

[0090] S1: The high-salinity waste heat sewage is subjected to pretreatment unit 1 and nanofiltration membrane 2 to remove impurities such as oil stains and organic matter; through the first three-way valve 3, the sewage is branched to the dilution unit 4 to obtain low-salinity sewage;

[0091] S2: The high-salinity waste heat sewage passes through the first valve 16, the third valve 18 and the fifth valve 20 to enter the high-concentration pool of the ion osmotic power generation device 5, and the low-salinity waste heat sewage passes through the second valve 17 and the fourth valve 19 to enter the low-concentration pool of the ion osmotic power generation device 5, which drives ion migration to generate electricity under the action of osmotic energy;

[0092] S3: The electrical energy of the ion osmotic power generation is coupled with photovoltaic power generation and photo-thermal power generation to store in the battery pack 11 to supply power to the capacitive deionization device 8, realizing self-power supply of the system;

[0093] S4: The sewage is passed into the capacitive deionization device 8 at a certain speed through the sixth valve 21 to remove salt; through the second three-way valve 9, part of the deionized water is flowed into the dilution unit 4, and part of the deionized water is subjected to the water outlet final treatment 10.
