This mixture enters the cyclone separator 5 through an inlet 51, where it is separated. The atomized water returns to the evaporation water tank 3 through a water outlet 52 at its lower end, while the nitrous oxide and water vapor are discharged from an air outlet 53 provided at the top of the cyclone separator 5 and enter a condensation assembly 6 for condensation. The present invention effectively separates water vapor and nitrous oxide by providing a cyclone separator 5, ensuring water recovery efficiency and purity. The cyclone separator 5 used in the present invention is an existing cyclone separator, and the present invention does not improve the cyclone separator itself.

LiCl has strong hygroscopicity: LiCl easily forms a hydrate (LiCl·nH2O, n=1-5) with water molecules, actively adsorbs water vapor in a humid environment, destroys the gas-liquid equilibrium, and promotes the continuous evaporation of liquid water. The heat released during the moisture absorption process provides additional energy for water evaporation, thereby reducing the activation energy required for evaporation.
[0085] In some embodiments, a sewage collection tank 35 is further provided below the evaporation water tank 3. The evaporation water tank 3 and the sewage collection tank 35 are connected via a sewage pipe 34.

[0093] In some embodiments, a water pump 16 is provided on the second circulation pipe 15 .
[0094] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a water resource recovery method, which uses the above-mentioned water resource recovery device for recovery, comprising the following steps:
[0095] S1. Sewage enters the heating pipe through the sewage inlet pipe and is heated by the solar heater. The heated sewage enters the insulation water tank through the sewage drain pipe;
[0096] S2. The sewage in the insulation water tank enters the evaporation water tank, and nitrous oxide is introduced into the evaporation water tank through the nitrous oxide inlet pipe. The nitrous oxide contacts the sewage and releases heat to evaporate the sewage.
[0097] S3. The water vapor mixture formed by evaporation is separated by a cyclone separator and enters a condensation component. After condensation, the water vapor flows into a collection box through a condensation pipe to obtain pure water. Nitrous oxide passes through a nitrous oxide circulation pipe and enters a nitrous oxide inlet pipe for recycling.
[0098] Specifically, the water resource recovery method of the present invention includes the following steps: sewage enters the heating pipe 12 through the sewage inlet pipe 11 and is heated by the solar heater 13. The heated sewage enters the insulated water tank 2 through the sewage drain pipe 14 for insulation and storage; the sewage in the insulated water tank 2 enters the water guide pipe 31 and is sprayed by the atomizing nozzle 32 and enters the evaporation water tank 3, and nitrous oxide is passed into the evaporation water tank through the nitrous oxide inlet pipe. The nitrous oxide contacts the sewage and releases heat to evaporate the sewage; the evaporation forms a mixture of atomized water, nitrous oxide and water vapor, and the mixture enters the cyclone separator 5 through the inlet 51. After separation by the cyclone separator 5, the atomized water returns to the evaporation water tank 3 through the water outlet 52 at its lower end. , while nitrous oxide and water vapor are discharged from the air outlet 53 provided at the top of the cyclone separator 5 and enter the condensation tank 61. The water vapor is condensed by the semiconductor refrigeration plate 621 to form liquid pure water, and flows into the collection tank 64 along the condensation pipe 63; the nitrous oxide gas is transported to the nitrous oxide inlet pipe 4 for recycling through the nitrous oxide circulation pipe 41; and the unevaporated sewage is stored in the sewage collection tank 35 through the sewage pipe 34; the water in the water pipe 31 is returned to the insulated water tank 2 through the first circulation pipe 36 for water evaporation again; the water in the insulated water tank 2 can be returned to the sewage inlet pipe 11 through the second circulation pipe 15 and after being heated, it is evaporated again, thus forming a complete circulation loop.
[0099] In some embodiments, nitrous oxide is introduced into the evaporative water tank through the nitrous oxide inlet pipe at a rate of 100 to 140 mL / min;
[0100] The temperature of sewage in the insulation water tank is 80-85℃;
[0101] The pressure inside the evaporating water tank is 0.8~1.6Mpa.
[0102] Specifically, this device significantly increases the evaporation rate of water by regulating the pressure and flow of nitrous oxide at high temperatures of 80-85°C, achieving a rate three to five times higher than traditional natural evaporation. Furthermore, by regulating the evaporation chamber pressure, rapid evaporation is achieved with low energy consumption, providing a new solution for efficient water recovery and resource utilization. This parameter range has been experimentally verified to be highly practical and repeatable, allowing for flexible adjustment based on actual project needs.
[0103] Specifically, in the present invention, the interaction between nitrous oxide and water is physical, and the dissolution process of nitrous oxide is a non-chemical reaction. The dissolution of nitrous oxide in water conforms to Henry's law, and the solubility increases with increasing pressure and decreases with increasing temperature. Heat of dissolution is released during the dissolution process, which promotes the evaporation of water. When the pressure of the aqueous solution containing dissolved nitrous oxide decreases or the temperature increases, nitrous oxide escapes from the water to form microbubbles. The disturbing effect of these bubbles can accelerate the evaporation of water. The evaporation rate of water can be accelerated by comprehensive regulation of temperature and pressure.
