Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of seawater desalination technology, and in particular to a seawater desalination method and corresponding seawater desalination products. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, human demand for freshwater resources has increased, with both inland saline lakes and seawater becoming sources of freshwater. Currently, commonly used seawater desalination methods include thermal and membrane methods. Both thermal and membrane methods involve complex and expensive equipment, rely primarily on non-renewable energy sources, and have relatively low desalination efficiency.
[0003] The heating method for the feed liquid in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-267643 uses coal or petroleum as fuel and steam generated by a boiler to heat seawater, a process that consumes a large amount of high-grade energy. In patents CN103771551A and CN 113880175A, whether using waste heat or solar energy, the method inevitably involves heating seawater thermally to produce fresh water. Such devices are cumbersome and have low freshwater yields. While patent CN 104803532A utilizes a solar membrane distillation device, weather conditions cause unstable solar heating, resulting in fluctuating feed liquid temperatures in the hot water storage tank, making it impossible to maintain a stable feed liquid temperature of 55-80°C before entering the membrane humidifier. When the feed liquid temperature is below 55℃, the evaporation rate of the feed liquid decreases, directly affecting the mass transfer efficiency of the membrane module and the yield of fresh water. When the feed liquid temperature is above 80℃, the high-temperature feed liquid may damage the membrane material, reducing the membrane's lifespan. In addition, the high-temperature feed liquid will increase energy loss between the system and the environment. Therefore, maintaining the feed liquid temperature between 55-80℃ can effectively balance the relationship between the water production rate, system energy loss, and membrane lifespan.

[0076] In an embodiment of this disclosure, the method for obtaining air-condensed fresh water using a membrane humidifier 7 connected to the liquid outlet 6 and a condenser 9 connected to the membrane humidifier 7 includes: injecting air of a first temperature and humidity into the membrane humidifier 7 using a fan 8 connected to the outlet of the condenser 9 and the inlet of the membrane humidifier 7 respectively; heating and humidifying the air of the first temperature using the membrane humidifier 7; condensing the heated and humidified air of a second temperature and humidity using the condenser 9 to obtain air-condensed fresh water; simultaneously, controlling the uncondensed air of the first temperature and humidity to enter the membrane humidifier 7 through the fan 8; and repeating the above process.
[0077] In an embodiment of this disclosure, the method of condensing heated and humidified air of a second temperature and humidity by means of the condenser 9 includes: using a feed pump 10 to drive a refrigerant into the condenser 9; using the refrigerant to condense the heated and humidified air of a second temperature and humidity by means of the condensant; and then discharging the refrigerant from the outlet 11 of the condenser 9.
[0078] In an embodiment of this disclosure, the method of conveying seawater discharged from the membrane humidifier 7 to the evaporation tank 13 to obtain seawater condensed freshwater includes: detecting the salinity value of the seawater condensed in the membrane humidifier 7; if the salinity value is greater than or equal to a set salinity value, controlling the valve 12 installed on the pipeline between the outlet of the membrane humidifier 7 and the inlet of the evaporation tank 13 to open, so that the seawater condensed in the membrane humidifier 7 enters the evaporation tank 13 to obtain seawater condensed freshwater; and / or, if the salinity value is less than the set salinity value... If the salinity value is controlled, the second reflux pump 21 installed in the pipeline between the membrane humidifier 7 and the solar collector 17 is turned on, and the seawater condensed in the membrane humidifier 7 enters the solar collector 17; and / or, the method of transporting the seawater discharged from the membrane humidifier 7 to the evaporation tank 13 to obtain seawater condensed freshwater further includes: using the heat-absorbing material 15 installed in the evaporation tank 13 or the outer or inner heat-absorbing material layer to heat the seawater in the evaporation tank 13, and using the condensing plate 14 above the evaporation tank 13 to condense and produce freshwater.
[0079] In the embodiments of this disclosure and other possible embodiments, seawater heated by the solar collector 17 is stored in a hot water storage tank 2. The hot water storage tank contains a phase change thermal storage and temperature control layer 1, and the phase change material within the phase change thermal storage and temperature control layer 1 is a composite material made of dioctyl diacid ester (HDODA) and modified boron nitride (BNNs) / polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) / sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) hybrid carbon aerogel.
[0080] In the embodiments disclosed herein and other possible embodiments, when there is sufficient sunlight during the day, the seawater in the hot water storage tank 2 is heated by the solar collector 17. When the temperature reaches the phase change temperature of the phase change material, the phase change material in the phase change heat storage and temperature control layer 1 melts from solid to liquid and absorbs heat from the seawater in the hot water storage tank 2. This avoids damage to the membrane material of the membrane humidifier 7 caused by the high temperature of the seawater, which would reduce the service life of the membrane and increase energy consumption.
[0081] In the embodiments disclosed herein and other possible embodiments, when the solar collector cannot continuously heat the seawater due to cloudy or rainy weather, nighttime, or insufficient sunlight, the seawater temperature in the hot water storage tank 2 begins to drop. When the seawater temperature drops to the phase change temperature of the phase change material, the phase change material changes from a liquid to a solid state, releasing heat to the seawater. This prevents the seawater from reducing the evaporation rate of the feed liquid due to excessively low temperature, which would directly affect the mass transfer efficiency of the membrane module and the yield of freshwater. When the heat stored in the phase change material in the hot water storage tank is completely released, and the temperature sensor 4 installed at the outlet 6 of the hot water storage tank 2 detects that the seawater temperature is lower than a first preset temperature (e.g., 55°C), the system controller automatically triggers the heating wire 3 (heating component) in the hot water storage tank 2 to replenish the temperature. The power of the heating wire 3 comes from solar photovoltaic power generation or a battery. After heating for a period of time, when the seawater temperature reaches a second preset temperature (e.g., 80°C) that is higher than the first preset temperature, the system controller automatically stops the heating wire 3, and the seawater continues to be heated using the heat stored in the phase change material in the hot water storage tank 2. In this way, the temperature of the seawater in the hot water storage tank 2 will be continuously maintained between the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature (e.g., 55-80℃). When the temperature sensor 4 installed at the outlet 6 of the hot water storage tank 2 detects that the seawater temperature is between the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature (e.g., 55-80℃), the one-way valve 5 installed in the pipeline corresponding to the outlet 6 of the hot water storage tank 2 opens, and the seawater flows into the membrane humidifier 7 through the outlet 6 to heat and humidify the air.
[0082] In the embodiments disclosed herein and other possible embodiments, air enters the membrane humidifier 7 under the action of the fan 8, is heated and humidified, and then enters the condenser 9. The condensed freshwater from the humid air enters the freshwater collection tank 16. A portion of the seawater in the membrane humidifier 7 is returned to the solar collector 17 via the second return pump 21 for reheating and reuse. Due to the continuous concentration of seawater, another portion needs to be discharged from the system. Discharging highly concentrated brine, whether in inland or coastal areas, directly leads to environmental damage and energy waste. From the perspective of ecological environment and energy utilization, a solution recovery method is adopted for brine separation, which extracts the salt components from the concentrated brine and separates the required freshwater. The concentrated seawater (concentrated brine with a salinity value greater than or equal to the set salinity value) in the membrane humidifier 7 enters the evaporation tank 13 through the valve 12. Solar energy is absorbed by the heat-absorbing material 15 filled in the evaporation tank 13 to heat the seawater in the evaporation tank 13. While evaporating and producing salt, the water vapor rises and encounters the condenser plate 14 above the evaporation tank, which condenses to produce fresh water. The produced fresh water enters the fresh water collection tank 16.

[0090] According to one aspect of this disclosure, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a computer-readable storage medium having computer program instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implement the above-described seawater desalination method.
[0091] According to one aspect of this disclosure, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a computer program product configured with a computer program / instruction that, when executed by a processor, implements the above-described seawater desalination method.
[0092] According to one aspect of this disclosure, a seawater desalination system is provided, which applies the seawater desalination method as described above and / or includes the seawater desalination apparatus as described above and / or includes the computer program product as described above.
[0093] According to one aspect of this disclosure, a phase change material is provided for use in the phase change thermal storage and temperature control layer of the above-described seawater desalination method or the above-described seawater desalination device, comprising: a carrier made of dioctyl diacid ester corresponding to the original phase change material and any one of the hybrid carbon aerogels of modified boron nitride, polyvinyl alcohol, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.
[0094] In the embodiments of this disclosure and other possible embodiments, the phase change thermal storage and temperature control layer is a composite material made of dioctyl adipate (HDODA) and modified boron nitride (BNNs) / polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) / sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) hybrid carbon aerogel. 92% of the HDODA is encapsulated within the BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel, and the phase change temperature of the composite phase change material is 55.13-80.96℃. HDODA is the original phase change material, and the BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel is the carrier for encapsulating the phase change material. HDODA is an organic solid-liquid phase change material, which has low thermal conductivity and is prone to leakage. Based on the nature of this system, to obtain clean fresh water, the encapsulation technology must efficiently prevent leakage of the phase change material. Therefore, a porous framework encapsulation technology is selected. Due to the capillary action of the porous framework, leakage of the phase change material during the melting process can be avoided. The material used in the porous framework encapsulation technology is BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel. BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel has a high thermal conductivity component, which can significantly improve the thermal conductivity, mechanical properties and thermal stability of the composite phase change material after being combined with the phase change material; the hot water storage tank is made of metal materials with high thermal conductivity such as aluminum or copper.
[0095] In the embodiments of this disclosure and other possible embodiments, the composite phase change material is a composite material made of HDODA and BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel. HDODA is the original phase change material, and the BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel is the carrier encapsulating HDODA; the two are combined to form a BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel-based composite phase change material.
[0096] According to one aspect of this disclosure, a method for preparing a phase change material for use in the phase change thermal storage and temperature control layer of the aforementioned seawater desalination method or device is provided, comprising: melting dioctyl diacid in proportions corresponding to a first set ratio, a second set ratio, a third set ratio, and a fourth set ratio of modified boron nitride, polyvinyl alcohol, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose at a first set temperature, respectively, to obtain a first original melted phase change material, a second original melted phase change material, a third original melted phase change material, and a fourth original melted phase change material; and respectively in the first original melted phase change material, the second original melted phase change material, the third original melted phase change material, and the fourth original melted phase change material. The modified boron nitride, polyvinyl alcohol, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose are added to the phase change material. The first, second, third, and fourth original melt phase change materials after adding the modified boron nitride, polyvinyl alcohol, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose are baked at a first set temperature. Under vacuum, the baked modified boron nitride and the first original melt phase change material, the polyvinyl alcohol and the second original melt phase change material, the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and the third original melt phase change material, and the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and the fourth original melt phase change material are impregnated for a set time to complete the preparation of the phase change material.
[0097] In the embodiments of this disclosure and other possible embodiments, different proportions of HDODA are weighed and placed in small beakers. After melting at a first set temperature (e.g., 85°C), they are placed into BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogels, and then transferred to an oven at a first set temperature (e.g., 85°C). After impregnation in a vacuum environment for a set time (48h), they are taken out to obtain BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel-based composite phase change materials. The composite phase change materials contain HDODA in the first set proportion of 88%, the second set proportion of 90.5%, the third set proportion of 91.5%, and the fourth set proportion of 92%, respectively, and are named PCM-1, PCM-2, PCM-3, and PCM-4. Because the BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel matrix has a large number of hydroxyl groups, it exhibits good compatibility with HDODA. The hydrogen bonding and capillary interactions between the aerogel matrix and HDODA bind HDODA within the BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel matrix, preventing leakage caused by HDODA melting. Furthermore, the high thermal conductivity of BNNs forms a thermal conduction pathway within the carbon aerogel, enhancing the thermal conductivity of the phase change material. These properties make the composite phase change material more efficient for temperature control of seawater in hot water storage tanks.
[0098] Table 1. Effect of hybridization ratio on the performance of composite phase change materials.
[0099]
[0100]
[0101] Table 1 shows the effect of different composite ratios on the phase change performance of the phase change material. It can be observed that the BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel-based composite phase change material possesses high latent heat storage capacity. The table also shows that the enthalpy of the BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel-based composite phase change material is lower than that of HDODA, but the experimentally measured values basically conform to the theoretical values. This indicates that the BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel-based composite phase change material essentially maintains the excellent phase change performance of HDODA. Furthermore, the enthalpy of the composite phase change material increases with the increase of the phase change material content, indicating excellent potential for thermal management applications.
[0102] Figure 3 This illustrates the effect of the hybridization ratio of the composite phase change material according to embodiments of the present disclosure on the thermal conductivity of the phase change material. For example... Figure 3 As shown, HDODA has relatively weak basic thermal conductivity, with a thermal conductivity of 0.29 W / m·K. Adding BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel as a matrix significantly improves the thermal conductivity of the composite phase change material. This is because HDODA requires sufficient energy to undergo a phase transition; the higher the HDODA content in the hybrid carbon aerogel matrix, the more energy is required. This leads to changes in the thermal conductivity of BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel-based composite phase change materials with different HDODA contents. Simultaneously, the BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel framework provides a thermally conductive network for the composite phase change material, and due to the good compatibility between HDODA and the BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel, energy transfer is not hindered. These factors allow for faster heat transfer in the composite phase change material.
[0103] From Table 1 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the higher the HDODA content, the higher the thermal conductivity of the composite phase change material. However, as the HDODA content increases, the temperature range of the composite phase change material gradually decreases. Based on the operating conditions of this system, the composite phase change material is required to have a phase change temperature range close to 55-80℃ while possessing a high thermal conductivity. A high thermal conductivity allows for the rapid release of heat stored within the phase change material, resulting in high efficiency in regulating the seawater temperature in the hot water storage tank, ensuring the continuous and stable production of freshwater by the entire system. Therefore, for the optimized phase change material, this system selects PCM-4 as the final composite phase change material.

In the heating mode, the membrane humidifier 7 connected to the liquid outlet 6 and the condenser 9 connected to the membrane humidifier 7 are used to obtain air condensed fresh water. The seawater discharged from the membrane humidifier 7 is transported to the evaporation tank 13 to obtain seawater condensed fresh water.

[0109] In an embodiment of this disclosure, a second reflux pump 21 is provided in the pipeline between the second outlet of the membrane humidifier 7 and the solar collector 17; the controller is further configured to: if the salinity value of the seawater condensed in the membrane humidifier 7 is detected to be less than the set salinity value, control the second reflux pump 21 to turn on, and the seawater condensed in the membrane humidifier 7 enters the solar collector 17.
[0110] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the evaporation tank 13 is provided with a heat-absorbing material 15 or an outer or inner heat-absorbing material layer for heating the seawater in the hot evaporation tank 13, and a condenser plate 14 for condensing and producing fresh water is provided above the evaporation tank 13.
[0111] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the controller is used in the hot mode to obtain air-condensed freshwater using a membrane humidifier 7 connected to the liquid outlet 6 and a condenser 9 connected to the membrane humidifier 7; and to transport seawater discharged from the membrane humidifier 7 to an evaporation tank 13 to obtain seawater-condensed freshwater, including: if the air temperature in the environmental parameters acquired in real time is lower than a preset air temperature, then the temperature of the thermal storage temperature control layer and the liquid outlet temperature are acquired in real time; if the temperature of the thermal storage temperature control layer is lower than the solid-state critical temperature of the phase change material therein and the liquid outlet temperature is lower than a first preset temperature, then the heating component installed in the hot water storage tank 2 is controlled to heat the seawater; during the heating process of the seawater, when the liquid outlet... If the liquid temperature rises to the second preset temperature and the temperature of the thermal storage and temperature control layer is higher than the critical liquid temperature of the phase change material inside, then the heating component is controlled to stop heating the seawater, and the seawater is heated using the phase change thermal storage and temperature control layer 1; the above process is repeated to maintain the outlet liquid temperature between the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature; if the air temperature in the environmental parameters obtained in real time is higher than or equal to the preset air temperature, then the first reflux pump 18 between the outlet of the hot water storage tank 2 and the inlet of the solar collector 17 is controlled to be turned on, and the seawater in the hot water storage tank 2 is heated using the solar collector 17, and the heated seawater is injected into the hot water storage tank 2 through the inlet of the hot water storage tank 2.
[0112] In the embodiments of this disclosure, during the process of heating the seawater using the solar collector 17 to the phase change thermal storage and temperature control layer 1, the controller is also used to acquire the temperature of the thermal storage and temperature control layer; if the temperature of the thermal storage and temperature control layer is lower than the solid-state critical temperature of the phase change material therein, the phase change thermal storage and temperature control layer 1 is used to cool the seawater; when the temperature of the thermal storage and temperature control layer is higher than the liquid-state critical temperature of the phase change material therein, the cooling of the seawater by the phase change thermal storage and temperature control layer 1 is stopped.
[0113] In the embodiments disclosed herein and other possible embodiments, when there is sufficient sunlight during the day, the seawater in the hot water storage tank 2 is heated by the solar collector 17. When the temperature reaches the phase change temperature of the phase change material, the phase change material in the phase change heat storage and temperature control layer 1 melts from solid to liquid and absorbs heat from the seawater in the hot water storage tank 2. This avoids damage to the membrane material of the membrane humidifier 7 caused by the high temperature of the seawater, which would reduce the service life of the membrane and increase energy consumption.
[0114] In the embodiments disclosed herein and other possible embodiments, when the solar collector cannot continuously heat the seawater due to cloudy or rainy weather, nighttime, or insufficient sunlight, the seawater temperature in the hot water storage tank 2 begins to drop. When the seawater temperature drops to the phase change temperature of the phase change material, the phase change material changes from a liquid to a solid state, releasing heat to the seawater. This prevents the seawater from reducing the evaporation rate of the feed liquid due to excessively low temperature, which would directly affect the mass transfer efficiency of the membrane module and the yield of freshwater. When the heat stored in the phase change material in the hot water storage tank is completely released, and the temperature sensor 4 installed at the outlet 6 of the hot water storage tank 2 detects that the seawater temperature is lower than a first preset temperature (e.g., 55°C), the system controller automatically triggers the heating wire 3 (heating component) in the hot water storage tank 2 to replenish the temperature. The power of the heating wire 3 comes from solar photovoltaic power generation or a battery. After heating for a period of time, when the seawater temperature reaches a second preset temperature (e.g., 80°C) that is higher than the first preset temperature, the system controller automatically stops the heating wire 3, and the seawater continues to be heated using the heat stored in the phase change material in the hot water storage tank 2. In this way, the temperature of the seawater in the hot water storage tank 2 will be continuously maintained between the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature (e.g., 55-80℃). When the temperature sensor 4 installed at the outlet 6 of the hot water storage tank 2 detects that the seawater temperature is between the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature (e.g., 55-80℃), the one-way valve 5 installed in the pipeline corresponding to the outlet 6 of the hot water storage tank 2 opens, and the seawater flows into the membrane humidifier 7 through the outlet 6 to heat and humidify the air.
[0115] In the embodiments disclosed herein and other possible embodiments, air enters the membrane humidifier 7 under the action of the fan 8, is heated and humidified, and then enters the condenser 9. The condensed freshwater from the humid air enters the freshwater collection tank 16. A portion of the seawater in the membrane humidifier 7 is returned to the solar collector 17 via the second return pump 21 for reheating and reuse. Due to the continuous concentration of seawater, another portion needs to be discharged from the system. Discharging highly concentrated brine, whether in inland or coastal areas, directly leads to environmental damage and energy waste. From the perspective of ecological environment and energy utilization, a solution recovery method is adopted for brine separation, which extracts the salt components from the concentrated brine and separates the required freshwater. The concentrated seawater (concentrated brine with a salinity value greater than or equal to the set salinity value) in the membrane humidifier 7 enters the evaporation tank 13 through the valve 12. Solar energy is absorbed by the heat-absorbing material 15 filled in the evaporation tank 13 to heat the seawater in the evaporation tank 13. While evaporating and producing salt, the water vapor rises and encounters the condenser plate 14 above the evaporation tank, which condenses to produce fresh water. The produced fresh water enters the fresh water collection tank 16.
[0116] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the phase change material of the phase change thermal storage and temperature control layer 1 includes: a carrier made of dioctyl diacid ester corresponding to the original phase change material and a hybrid carbon aerogel made of one of modified boron nitride, polyvinyl alcohol, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.
[0117] In the embodiments of this disclosure, after the air temperature in the environmental parameters is acquired in real time, the controller is further configured to correct the air temperature to obtain a corrected air temperature; then, if the corrected air temperature is lower than a preset air temperature, the temperature of the heat storage temperature control layer and the liquid outlet temperature are acquired in real time; if the corrected air temperature is lower than the preset air temperature, the temperature of the heat storage temperature control layer and the liquid outlet temperature are acquired in real time.
[0118] In the embodiments of this disclosure and other possible embodiments, after the air temperature in the environmental parameters is acquired in real time, the air temperature is corrected. The method includes: training multiple preset predictors using multiple feature parameters corresponding to weather conditions, day / night ratio, and illumination values in historical environmental parameters for different months, and their corresponding preset air temperature value labels or preset air temperature range labels, to obtain trained preset predictors for different months; and using multiple real-time feature parameters corresponding to weather conditions, day / night ratio, and illumination values in the environmental parameters acquired in real time, and the trained preset predictors for the current month, to obtain multiple probability values corresponding to different preset air temperature values or preset air temperature ranges; determining the preset air temperature value or the preset air temperature range in which the air temperature is located and the corresponding probability value; and correcting the air temperature using the corresponding probability value to obtain the corrected air temperature.

[0120] In the embodiments of this disclosure and other possible embodiments, the weather conditions are configured as one or more of the following: cloudy, sunny, and rain / snow (light rain, moderate rain, heavy rain, torrential rain, light snow, moderate snow, heavy snow, and blizzard). The method for training a preset predictor using multiple feature parameters corresponding to weather conditions, day / night cycles, and illumination values from historical environmental parameters of different months, along with their corresponding preset air temperature value labels or preset air temperature range labels, includes: encoding the weather conditions and day / night cycles to obtain encoded weather conditions and day / night cycles; normalizing the illumination values to obtain normalized illumination values; concatenating the encoded weather conditions, day / night cycles, and the normalized illumination values to obtain multiple corresponding feature parameters; and training the preset predictor using the multiple feature parameters and their corresponding preset air temperature value labels or preset air temperature range labels.
[0121] In the embodiments of this disclosure and other possible embodiments, when using multiple feature parameters corresponding to weather conditions, day / night cycles, and illumination values in the real-time acquired environmental parameters, as well as a pre-trained preset predictor corresponding to the current month, to obtain multiple probability values corresponding to different preset air temperature values or preset air temperature ranges, it is also necessary to encode the weather conditions and day / night cycles in the real-time acquired environmental parameters, just as during training, to obtain encoded real-time weather conditions and real-time day / night cycles; and to normalize the real-time acquired illumination values to obtain normalized real-time illumination values; the encoded real-time weather conditions, real-time day / night cycles, and the normalized real-time illumination values are then concatenated to obtain multiple corresponding real-time feature parameters; and then, using the multiple real-time feature parameters and the pre-trained preset predictor corresponding to the current month, multiple probability values corresponding to different preset air temperature values or preset air temperature ranges are obtained.

[0132] In the embodiments disclosed herein and other possible embodiments, during daytime illumination, sunlight passes through the silica aerogel insulation layer 22 and strikes the light-receiving surface of the photovoltaic panel 23. A portion of the sunlight is converted into electrical energy by the photovoltaic panel 23, and the remainder is converted into heat. Part of the electrical energy is used to power the entire seawater desalination system, while the excess electrical energy is stored in the battery 20. The power in the battery 20 supplies power to the entire system when sunlight is insufficient. The heat converted by the photovoltaic panel 23 is absorbed by the phase change material within the phase change heat storage layer 24. The phase change material undergoes a solid-liquid phase change, storing the absorbed heat while simultaneously reducing the surface temperature of the photovoltaic panel 23, thus improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic panel. The silica aerogel insulation layer 22 serves to prevent the photovoltaic panel 23 from dissipating heat to the outside. The heat stored in the phase change thermal storage layer 24 serves as the hot-end energy source for the thermoelectric power generation module 25. Heat is transferred from the phase change thermal storage layer 24 to the thermoelectric power generation module 25 for thermoelectric power generation. The electrical energy generated by the thermoelectric power generation module 25 is stored in the battery 20. The cold end of the thermoelectric power generation module 25 is cooled by convection and radiation from the air via a finned heat sink 32, controlling its temperature and ensuring continuous power generation. The battery 20 provides power to the entire system when sunlight from the photovoltaic panel is insufficient.
[0133] This disclosure proposes a solar membrane distillation seawater desalination system to address the issues of energy supply and freshwater production efficiency. However, due to the instability of solar heating and power supply problems, the system still suffers from low freshwater production efficiency and difficulties in providing continuous power in remote areas. To address these issues, a seawater desalination method and corresponding desalination products are proposed. This invention proposes a solar membrane distillation seawater desalination system equipped with a phase change thermal storage temperature-controlled feed liquid hot water tank and a phase change thermal storage photovoltaic power generation device to ensure continuous and stable heating of the feed liquid and a continuous and stable power supply to the system. This invention fully considers energy conservation, environmental protection, and safety while solving the problems.
[0134] The membrane distillation seawater desalination system uses a full solar phase change thermal storage photovoltaic power generation device and a phase change thermal storage temperature-controlled feed liquid hot water tank, which efficiently utilizes solar energy and solves the freshwater supply problem in remote areas, impoverished areas and small islands that lack power grid supply.
[0135] To achieve continuous and stable heating of the feed liquid and increase freshwater production, this system is equipped with a phase change thermal storage and temperature control tank for the feed liquid. This allows for temperature regulation of the feed liquid entering the membrane humidifier, maintaining a stable temperature between 55-80℃. During the day, when there is sufficient sunlight, the seawater in the storage tank is heated by the solar collector. When the temperature reaches the phase change temperature of the phase change material, the material melts from a solid to a liquid state, absorbing heat from the seawater. This prevents the high temperature of the seawater from damaging the membrane material, reducing its lifespan, and increasing energy consumption. On cloudy days, at night, or when sunlight is insufficient, the solar collector cannot continuously heat the seawater, causing the seawater temperature to drop. When the seawater temperature drops to the phase change temperature of the phase change material, the material transforms from a liquid to a solid state, releasing heat into the seawater. This prevents the seawater from reducing the evaporation rate of the feed liquid due to excessively low temperatures, which would directly affect the mass transfer efficiency of the membrane module and the freshwater output. When the heat stored in the phase change material within the hot water storage tank is fully released, and the temperature sensor at the tank's outlet detects that the seawater temperature is below 55°C, the system's controller automatically activates the heating element within the tank to replenish the temperature. The heating element is powered by solar photovoltaic power generation or a battery. After heating for a period of time, when the seawater temperature reaches 80°C, the system controller automatically stops the heating element. The heat stored in the phase change material within the tank then continues to raise the seawater temperature. In this way, the seawater temperature within the storage tank is maintained between 55-80°C, avoiding energy waste while increasing freshwater production.
[0136] To ensure a continuous and stable power supply from solar energy, this system incorporates a phase-change thermal storage photovoltaic (PV) power generation device. Currently, the photoelectric conversion efficiency is typically around 20%, with the remaining 80% of solar energy being converted into heat within the PV panel, causing surface temperature rise and impacting the panel's power output efficiency. Therefore, this device adds a phase-change thermal storage layer to the backside of the PV panel to absorb surface heat and improve conversion efficiency. Simultaneously, to fully utilize the heat stored in the phase-change material, the phase-change thermal storage layer is connected to a thermoelectric power generation module as the hot end. A finned heat sink is installed at the cold end of the module, generating electricity based on the thermoelectric effect and storing it in a battery. To prevent energy waste caused by heat dissipation into the air during periods of abundant sunlight, a silica aerogel insulation layer is applied to the sun-receiving surface of the PV panel. Silica aerogel possesses high light transmittance and low thermal conductivity, exhibiting excellent insulation properties and effectively preventing heat loss from the PV panel. Sunlight shines through the silica aerogel insulation layer onto the surface of the photovoltaic panel, where it is converted into electrical energy. Part of this electricity powers the entire seawater desalination system, while the excess is stored in batteries to power the system when sunlight is insufficient.
[0137] Specifically, this membrane distillation seawater desalination system incorporates a phase change thermal storage temperature-controlled feed liquid hot water tank to regulate the temperature of the feed liquid, ensuring a continuous and stable flow of the feed liquid into the membrane humidifier at 55-80℃, thereby increasing freshwater production. Additionally, a phase change thermal storage photovoltaic power generation device is added to guarantee a stable power supply for the entire system.
[0138] Specifically, the phase change thermal storage temperature control feed liquid hot water tank includes a phase change thermal storage temperature control layer and a water tank. The phase change thermal storage temperature control layer is a composite material made of dioctyl adipate (HDODA) and modified boron nitride (BNNs) / polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) / sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) hybrid carbon aerogel. 92% of the HDODA is encapsulated within the BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel, and the phase change temperature of the composite phase change material is 55.13-80.96℃; HDODA is the original phase change material, and the BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel is the carrier for encapsulating the phase change material. HDODA is an organic solid-liquid phase change material, which has low thermal conductivity and is prone to leakage. Based on the nature of this system, to obtain clean fresh water, the encapsulation technology must efficiently prevent leakage of the phase change material. Therefore, a porous skeleton encapsulation technology is selected. Due to the capillary action of the porous skeleton, leakage of the phase change material during the melting process can be avoided. The porous skeleton encapsulation technology uses BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel as the material. BNNs / PVA / CMC hybrid carbon aerogel has high thermal conductivity, and when combined with phase change materials, it can significantly improve the thermal conductivity, mechanical properties, and thermal stability of the composite phase change material. The hot water storage tank is made of high thermal conductivity metals such as aluminum or copper.
[0139] Specifically, the phase change thermal storage photovoltaic power generation device includes an aerogel insulation layer, a photovoltaic panel, a phase change thermal storage layer, and a thermoelectric power generation module. The aerogel insulation layer is made of silica aerogel, which has high light transmittance and low thermal conductivity, making it an excellent light-transmitting and heat-insulating material. The photovoltaic panel is made of single-junction gallium arsenide, which has a photoelectric conversion efficiency of approximately 30%. The phase change material is a composite phase change material made of paraffin wax and carbon fiber; the addition of carbon fiber improves the thermal conductivity of the phase change material. The container encapsulating the phase change material uses copper, which has good thermal conductivity. The two substrates of the thermoelectric power generation module are made of alumina, the electrode material is copper, the P and N particle material is bismuth telluride (BiTe), and the wires are made of Teflon. The hot end of the thermoelectric power generation module is tightly connected to the four walls and bottom of the phase change thermal storage layer, and both have the same area. The cold end of the thermoelectric power generation module is set as a finned heat sink, with the fin material being aluminum or copper.
[0140] This invention combines membrane distillation seawater desalination with phase change temperature control and photovoltaic power generation to develop a novel, fully solar-driven seawater desalination system based on phase change thermal storage and temperature control membrane distillation and phase change thermal storage photovoltaic power generation. The phase change thermal storage photovoltaic power generation device fully utilizes solar energy to provide a continuous and stable power supply to the entire system, improving energy efficiency. Simultaneously, it utilizes the solid-liquid (endothermic) or liquid-solid (exothermic) phase change of the phase change material in the feed liquid storage tank to maintain the feed liquid temperature of the membrane humidifier within 55-80℃, increasing freshwater production. This product has broad application prospects and will generate significant social and economic benefits in terms of energy conservation and environmental protection.
