Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of water treatment, specifically to a solar-powered self-heating system and method for desalinating concentrated brine. Background Technology
[0002] Concentrated brine refers to water with a high concentration of salts. Its main characteristics include a high concentration of soluble salts, such as sodium chloride and sodium carbonate. Concentrated brine is unsuitable for drinking or agricultural irrigation. The formation of concentrated brine is closely related to geographical environment and climatic conditions. Although the chemical composition of concentrated brine is complex, with appropriate improvement and treatment, it can be used for aquaculture, irrigation, and other purposes. Significant ecological, economic, and social benefits can be achieved through desalination and other treatment and development methods.
[0003] There are various methods for treating concentrated brine, among which solar desalination technology is widely used due to its low cost and clean energy. Compared with traditional power and heat sources, solar energy has advantages such as safety and environmental friendliness. Combining solar energy collection with desalination processes is a sustainable brine desalination technology. It has gradually gained attention due to its advantages of not consuming conventional energy, being pollution-free, and producing high-purity freshwater. It utilizes the heat generated by solar energy to evaporate concentrated brine in a brine pool, and collects the water vapor using a steam-collecting film installed above, thus separating and collecting the freshwater. However, in practical applications, many factors affect solar distillation desalination. First, solar radiation is the main heat source for the solar distillation system. Radiation intensity directly affects the system's water production and efficiency. Higher radiation intensity results in higher distillation efficiency and a corresponding increase in water production. When solar radiation intensity is low, the desalination efficiency decreases. Second, ambient temperature has a significant impact on the distillation process. Higher ambient temperatures accelerate the evaporation rate of water vapor, thereby increasing water production and efficiency. When the external ambient temperature decreases, the desalination efficiency decreases. Furthermore, in a lower humidity environment, water vapor condenses more easily into liquid water, thus increasing water production and efficiency. If the humidity in the enclosed space above the brine pond is high, it will affect desalination efficiency.
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a solar-powered self-heating system and method for desalinating concentrated brine, aiming to solve the problem of reduced desalination efficiency caused by factors such as low solar radiation intensity, low ambient temperature, and excessively high humidity during the desalination process.

[0008] Furthermore, a transverse support platform is provided at the top of the support wall, a front inclined support rod is provided on the front side of the transverse support platform, a front freshwater evaporation collection membrane is provided on the inner side of the front inclined support rod, a rear inclined support rod is provided on the rear side of the transverse support platform, and a concentrated brine conveying pipe connected to the concentrated brine spray pipe is installed on the rear inclined support rod.
[0009] Furthermore, a side freshwater evaporation collection membrane is provided between the supporting wall and both sides of the front freshwater evaporation collection membrane, and an auxiliary collection channel connected to the freshwater collection channel is provided at the bottom of the side freshwater evaporation collection membrane.
[0010] Furthermore, a heating tube is provided inside the adaptive heating evaporation frame, and the top of the adaptive heating evaporation frame is fixedly connected to the bottom output end of the vertical lifting rod. The vertical lifting rod is installed on the upper part of the concentrated brine tank through a bracket.
[0011] Furthermore, the front side and the two inclined sides each include an inner insulation layer. A solar radiation heat-absorbing layer is provided on the front side of the inner insulation layer. A heat-absorbing coating is uniformly sprayed on the solar radiation heat-absorbing layer. A heat-resistant, light-transmitting, and heat-conducting protective layer is provided on the outside of the heat-absorbing coating. The bottom of the concentrated brine spray pipe is provided with a spray nozzle that matches the top of the front side and the two inclined sides.

[0012] Furthermore, the top width of the front side is not greater than its bottom width, the bottom width of the front side is not greater than the width of the concentrated brine tank, the top width of the sloping side is not greater than its bottom width, and the bottom width of the sloping side is not greater than one-quarter of the length of the concentrated brine tank.
[0013] Furthermore, a first connecting crossbar is provided between the rear diagonal support rod and the support wall, and a second connecting crossbar is provided between two adjacent rear diagonal support rods. The support wall is set on the top outer edge of the concentrated brine tank along its length or on the bottom wall of the concentrated brine tank.

The transverse support platform is a plate-shaped structure parallel to the horizontal plane.
[0014] Furthermore, the top of the adaptive heating evaporation frame is provided with a line limiting tube, and a line mounting hole that matches the line limiting tube is opened on the support wall.

[0015] A method for desalinating concentrated brine using a solar-powered self-heating salt pond system, the method being as follows:
[0016] When the solar radiation intensity reaches the preset requirement, the front side and the two inclined sides absorb sunlight and convert it into heat energy. After reaching the preset temperature, the concentrated brine is sprayed through the spray nozzles set at the bottom of the concentrated brine spray pipe to the top of the front side and the two inclined sides and flows downward. During the flow, the heat energy of the surface of the front side and the two inclined sides is absorbed by the concentrated brine. The fresh water component in the concentrated brine gradually evaporates and forms water vapor. The water vapor is condensed through the fresh water evaporation collection membrane on the front side and collected into the fresh water collection channel. The remaining concentrated brine is finally recycled to the concentrated brine pool through the bottom of the front side and the two inclined sides.
[0017] Alternatively, when the solar radiation intensity does not meet the preset requirements, the concentrated brine is directly transported to the concentrated brine tank, the heating tube is turned on, the heating temperature is controlled by the controller, and the vertical lifting rod is activated to drive the adaptive heating evaporation frame to rise and fall, so that the set height of the heating tube corresponds to the height of the concentrated brine liquid level. After the fresh water component in the concentrated brine evaporates, it forms water vapor, which is condensed by the fresh water evaporation collection membrane on the front side and collected into the fresh water collection channel.
[0018] The present invention has the following positive effects:
[0019] 1. The invention of a solar-powered self-heating salt pond system for desalination of concentrated brine utilizes clean solar energy to desalinate concentrated brine. The system absorbs solar energy through the evaporation wall and converts it into heat energy to vaporize the concentrated brine. The brine is then condensed and the freshwater is recovered. The evaporation wall adopts a unique multi-trapezoidal surface structure, which performs diversion and dispersion treatment as the concentrated brine flows from top to bottom. During the downward flow, the concentrated brine has a large contact area with the outer surface of the evaporation wall, which helps to evaporate quickly and improves the desalination efficiency.
[0020] 2. The invention of a solar-powered self-heating system for desalination of concentrated brine can activate the heating tubes to heat and evaporate the concentrated brine in the pool when the solar radiation intensity is low or the temperature is low. Through adaptive height adjustment, the effective heating surface of the heating tubes is always matched with the liquid level of the concentrated brine, thereby improving the efficiency of heat utilization and desalination.
[0021] 3. The evaporation wall of the solar salt pond self-heating system for desalinating concentrated brine has a multi-layer design structure. The bottom layer is an insulation layer, and the outer layer is a transparent, heat-resistant, light-transmitting, and heat-conducting protective layer. This facilitates the conduction of heat to the outer layer, which is then absorbed by the concentrated brine for desalination and evaporation. At the same time, it has high photothermal energy conversion efficiency and the surface is easy to clean, which is beneficial for maintenance operations.
[0022] 4. The solar radiation heating evaporation wall of the solar salt pond self-heating system for desalinating concentrated brine is set at an inclined angle on the front and both sides, while the top and bottom are set horizontally. This helps to slow down and disperse the water flow at the top, increase the contact area, prolong the contact time, and facilitate the bottom recovery.
[0023] 5. The supporting wall of the solar salt pond self-heating system for desalination of concentrated brine of the present invention provides support for the overall equipment frame and is reinforced by diagonal bracing components. At the same time, it facilitates the structure of the water inlet pipeline. During use, the front and side freshwater evaporation collection membranes are aligned with the direction of sunlight. Reasonable layout is achieved through line limiting pipes and line installation holes, resulting in a high safety factor for the overall line installation.
[0024] 6. The method of the solar-powered salt pond self-heating system for desalinating concentrated brine of the present invention can carry out efficient desalination of concentrated brine under different working conditions, which improves the application range of the product, overcomes the drawbacks of traditional distillation and purification of brine, and can carry out uninterrupted desalination operations under various working conditions.

The term "connection" simply indicates a connection between devices and has no special meaning.
[0033] Example 1: As Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6, when the solar radiation intensity reaches the preset requirement, a solar-powered self-heating system for desalinating concentrated brine includes a concentrated brine tank 5, a front freshwater evaporation collection membrane 4 inclinedly disposed on the upper part of the concentrated brine tank 5, a support wall 1 connected to the top of the front freshwater evaporation collection membrane 4 on the upper part of the concentrated brine tank 5, a solar radiation heating evaporation wall disposed on the inner side of the support wall 1, a concentrated brine spray pipe 11 disposed on the top surface of the solar radiation heating evaporation wall, and a freshwater collection channel 22 connected to the bottom of the freshwater collection membrane 4. The solar radiation heating evaporation wall consists of a top surface, a bottom surface, a front side 13, and two inclined sides 14. The front side 13 and the two inclined sides 14 are trapezoidal plate structures, and the angle between the front side 13 and the two inclined sides 14 and the horizontal plane is not less than 60 degrees. A drain pipe 15 is disposed at the bottom of the concentrated brine tank 5. The front side 13 and the two inclined sides 14 each include an inner insulation layer. A solar radiation heat absorption layer is provided on the front side of the inner insulation layer. A heat absorption coating is uniformly sprayed on the solar radiation heat absorption layer. A heat-resistant, light-transmitting, and heat-conducting protective layer is provided on the outside of the heat absorption coating. The bottom of the concentrated brine spray pipe 11 is provided with a spray nozzle 12 that matches the top of the front side 13 and the two inclined sides 14. The support wall 1 is connected to the inner insulation layer provided on the front side 13 through a third connecting crossbar 21.
[0034] Specifically, the concentrated brine tank 5 adopts a sunken structure, with a front freshwater evaporation collection membrane 4 installed on its upper part facing the sunlight. The front freshwater evaporation collection membrane 4 is made of a light-transmitting material, allowing sunlight to penetrate and irradiate the solar radiation heating evaporation wall. The support wall 1 is the mounting surface for the solar radiation heating evaporation wall. The top surface, bottom surface, front side 13, and two inclined side 14 are installed on the inner wall of the support wall 1. The overall width and span of the solar radiation heating evaporation wall must meet the support requirements of the concentrated brine tank 5. At the same time, the angle between the front side 13 and the two inclined side 14 and the horizontal plane is 60 degrees to 75 degrees. Specifically, during installation, the angle between the front freshwater evaporation collection membrane 4 and the horizontal plane is set to 45 degrees.
[0035] During actual operation, the front side 13 and the two inclined sides 14 absorb sunlight and convert it into heat energy to generate heat. After reaching the preset temperature, the concentrated brine is sprayed through the spray nozzle 12 at the bottom of the concentrated brine spray pipe 11 onto the top of the front side 13 and the two inclined sides 14 and flows downward. During the flow, the heat energy on the surface of the front side 13 and the two inclined sides 14 is absorbed by the concentrated brine. The fresh water component in the concentrated brine gradually evaporates to form water vapor. The water vapor is condensed by the fresh water evaporation collection membrane 4 on the front side and collected into the fresh water collection channel 22. The remaining concentrated brine is finally recycled to the concentrated brine pool 5 through the bottom of the front side 13 and the two inclined sides 14.

A heating pipe 24 is provided inside the adaptive heating evaporation frame 6. The top of the adaptive heating evaporation frame 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom output end of the vertical lifting rod 10.

The bottom of the side freshwater evaporation collection membrane 20 is equipped with complementary auxiliary collection channels 23. During steam condensation, freshwater is efficiently collected through simultaneous front and side recovery, avoiding a decrease in recovery efficiency caused by excessively high internal space.
[0039] Specifically, the adaptive heating evaporation frame 6 is the automatic heating component of this system. It adopts a lifting mechanism to coordinate with the liquid level of the concentrated brine in the concentrated brine tank 5. During operation, a level gauge is installed in the concentrated brine tank 5 to monitor the liquid level. The monitoring data is fed back to the controller 25 in real time, and the controller 25 drives the vertical lifting rod 10 to extend and retract.

The heating tube 24 is connected to the controller 25 located on the outside of the support wall 1 through the wire installed in the line limiting tube 7 and the line mounting hole 8.
[0041] Specifically, during the lifting and lowering of the adaptive heating evaporator frame 6, the system wiring connection is arranged in a concealed manner to avoid the corrosion of concentrated brine and the effects of high temperature.

[0046] During actual operation, the front side 13 and the two inclined sides 14 absorb sunlight and convert it into heat energy to generate heat. After reaching the preset temperature, the concentrated brine is sprayed through the spray nozzle 12 at the bottom of the concentrated brine spray pipe 11 onto the top of the front side 13 and the two inclined sides 14 and flows downward. During the flow, the heat energy on the surface of the front side 13 and the two inclined sides 14 is absorbed by the concentrated brine. The fresh water component in the concentrated brine gradually evaporates to form water vapor. The water vapor is condensed by the fresh water evaporation collection membrane 4 on the front side and collected into the fresh water collection channel 22. The remaining concentrated brine is finally recycled to the concentrated brine pool 5 through the bottom of the front side 13 and the two inclined sides 14.

The support wall (1) is set on the top outer edge of the concentrated brine tank (5) in the length direction or on the bottom wall of the concentrated brine tank (5). The support wall (1) is set perpendicular to the horizontal plane or inclined towards the rear diagonal support rod (16). The transverse support platform (2) is a plate structure parallel to the horizontal plane.
7. The solar-powered self-heating system for desalinating concentrated brine according to claim 1, characterized in that: The adaptive heating evaporation frame (6) is provided with a line limiting tube (7) at the top, and a line mounting hole (8) that cooperates with the line limiting tube (7) is provided on the support wall (1).

8. A method for desalinating concentrated brine using a solar-powered self-heating salt pond system as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The method is as follows: When the solar radiation intensity reaches the preset requirement, the front side (13) and the two inclined sides (14) absorb sunlight and convert it into heat energy and generate heat. After reaching the preset temperature, the concentrated brine is sprayed through the spray nozzle (12) set at the bottom of the concentrated brine spray pipe (11) to the top of the front side (13) and the two inclined sides (14) and flows downward. During the flow, the heat energy on the surface of the front side (13) and the two inclined sides (14) is absorbed by the concentrated brine. The fresh water component in the concentrated brine gradually evaporates and forms water vapor. The water vapor is condensed and collected into the fresh water collection channel (22) through the fresh water evaporation collection membrane (4) on the front side. The remaining concentrated brine is finally recycled to the concentrated brine pool (5) through the bottom of the front side (13) and the two inclined sides (14). Alternatively, when the solar radiation intensity does not meet the preset requirements, the concentrated brine is directly transported to the concentrated brine pool (5), the heating tube (24) is turned on, the heating temperature is controlled by the controller (25), and the vertical lifting rod (10) is activated to drive the adaptive heating evaporation frame (6) to rise and fall, so that the setting height of the heating tube (24) corresponds to the height of the concentrated brine liquid surface. After the fresh water component in the concentrated brine evaporates, water vapor is formed. The water vapor is condensed by the front fresh water evaporation collection membrane (4) and collected into the fresh water collection channel (22).
