[0031] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0032] As shown in Figures 1-3 A seawater primary desalination system utilizing green energy and construction waste, comprising a seawater delivery pipe 2 erected on a sea embankment 3, an evaporation slope 7, a light-transmissive freshwater collection plate 6 obliquely erected above the evaporation slope 7, and a diversion groove 8; the diversion groove 8 at least comprises a first slot 81 and a second slot 82 arranged side by side, the first slot 81 is used for guiding the seawater flowing down the evaporation slope 7, and the second slot 82 is used for guiding the freshwater flowing down the wave flange 9;
[0033] The seawater delivery pipe 2 includes a replaceable pipe 13 with a seawater desalination filter element 4 inside; the seawater delivery pipe 2 is a seawater corrosion resistant metal pipe, and the seawater desalination filter element 4 is formed by pressing construction waste powder; the seawater desalination filter element 4 can remove suspended solids, particulate matter, organic matter and other substances in seawater, thereby improving the purification effect of seawater; the use of seawater desalination filter element 4 made of construction waste improves the efficiency and economy of seawater desalination, and also helps to reduce environmental pressure and realize the recycling of resources;
[0034] The seawater conveying pipe 2 is equipped with a seawater pumping device 1 at its inlet end. The seawater pumping device 1 is a water pump powered by a permanent magnet wind turbine. The permanent magnet wind turbine has an automatic wind-adjusting function. The seawater pumping device 1 is powered by the blades 10 of the permanent magnet wind turbine driven by sea tides, wind energy, etc., to pump seawater into the seawater conveying pipe 2.
[0035] The seawater conveying pipe 2 is equipped with a spray nozzle 5 at its outlet end, which is located on the upper part of the evaporation slope 7. The primary seawater desalination water is evenly sprayed onto the upper surface of the evaporation slope 7 through the spray nozzle 5. The upper surface of the evaporation slope 7 is covered with a hydrophobic layer and an energy-absorbing layer. The outlet end of the evaporation slope 7 is suspended above the first slot 81 of the diversion channel 8. The seawater filtered by the seawater desalination filter element 4 is the primary seawater desalination water. The primary seawater desalination water flowing down the evaporation slope 7 flows into the first slot 81 of the diversion channel 8 for collection.
[0036] The lower surface of the freshwater collection plate 6 is provided with a wavy flange 9 for collecting freshwater and sunlight. The focal point of the wavy flange 9 is located at the surface of the evaporation slope 7, so that sunlight passes through the freshwater collection plate 6 and converges at the surface of the evaporation slope 7, making full use of solar energy to accelerate the accumulation of heat energy on the surface of the evaporation slope 7. The water outlet of the freshwater collection plate 6 is suspended on the second slot 82. The water condensed after the primary seawater desalination water evaporates is secondary seawater desalination water. The secondary seawater desalination water and the rainwater collected by the freshwater collection plate 6 flow into the second slot 82 for collection, thereby maximizing the green desalination water collection efficiency.
[0037] Both the freshwater collection plate 6 and the corrugated flange 9 have the ability to transmit sunlight. The corrugated flange 9 has the ability to collect both sunlight and evaporated freshwater. The collected sunlight can accelerate the accumulation of heat energy in winter and prevent local freezing.

The raw materials are adjusted to a moisture content of 50% and filled into a replaceable metal tube and pressed into a core material at a static pressure of 20 MPa in one step.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the upper surface of the evaporation slope 7 is covered with a graphite layer as both a hydrophobic layer and an energy-absorbing layer. Graphite is inexpensive, which helps reduce equipment costs. The hydrophobic layer prevents long-term adhesion of precipitated salts, providing a self-cleaning effect. The energy-absorbing layer absorbs a large amount of solar thermal energy, increasing seawater evaporation efficiency. The graphite layer is thicker than 200 μm and is adhered to the surface of the evaporation slope 7 using one or more of the following: cement, vulcanized rubber, epoxy resin, polyurethane, polyurea, and acrylic resin. In one specific embodiment, the graphite layer is adhered to the surface of the evaporation slope 7 using cement.

In yet another specific embodiment, the inclination angles of the evaporation slope 7 and the freshwater collection plate 6 are both 5°, and the length is 4 meters, with a distance of 7 centimeters between them.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the seawater conveying pipe 2 is provided with a pipe mounting seat. The seawater conveying pipe 2 has a middle port for installing the replaceable pipe 13. The pipe mounting seat includes an upper pipe sleeve 12 and a lower pipe sleeve 14 installed at the middle port of the seawater conveying pipe 2. The inner walls of the upper pipe sleeve 12 and the lower pipe sleeve 14 are provided with pipe clamping protrusions 15 for fixing the pipe head at the middle port. Flange mounting seats are provided at both ends of the replaceable pipe 13. The upper pipe sleeve 12, the lower pipe sleeve 14 and the flange mounting seats are respectively provided with bolt fastening ports 16. The pipe mounting seat and the flange mounting seat are connected by fasteners.

After the replaceable pipe 13 is installed, the handles 11 of the pipe mounting seat are aligned with the handles 11 of the flange mounting seat.
[0044] In actual use, the evaporation ramp 7 can be widened or set up side by side according to the site size. Baffles need to be installed on both sides of the outermost edge of all evaporation ramps.
[0045] This invention desalinates seawater twice through a seawater desalination filter and solar distillation. It utilizes green energy sources such as tidal energy, wind energy, and solar energy as the energy source for seawater desalination, and makes full use of construction waste as the seawater desalination filter to achieve resource recycling.
