自浮式生物基太阳能蒸发器的构筑及其海水淡化性能

Construction and Desalination Performance of a Self-Floating Bio-Based Solar Evaporator

  • 摘要: 目前,全球淡水资源需求日益增长,海水作为最丰富的水资源,其淡化技术成为缓解淡水短缺的重要途径。本研究以针叶浆纤维(CF)为骨架,通过壳聚糖(CS)与海藻酸钠(SA)的交联作用,并引入聚苯乙烯(PS)颗粒以提升自漂浮与热局域化性能,经冷冻干燥制备了一种自浮式生物质基太阳能蒸发器(SE)。通过优化的四棱台结构设计,该蒸发器在界面太阳能蒸发中表现出优异的蒸发效率与稳定性。在1个太阳光照强度下,SE在3.5wt% NaCl溶液中蒸发速率可达2.12 kg·m−2·h−1,蒸发效率为118.5%,对Na+、K+、Mg2+、Ca2+等离子去除率均超过99.9%。本研究表明,该生物质基蒸发器具有良好的海水淡化性能与抗盐结晶能力,为可持续淡水供应提供了可行方案。

     

    Abstract: Abstract: Currently, the global demand for freshwater resources is continuously increasing. As the most abundant water source, seawater desalination has become a critical approach to alleviating freshwater shortages. In this study, a self-floating biomass-based solar evaporator (SE) was constructed using coniferous pulp fibers (CF) as the framework, crosslinked with chitosan (CS) and sodium alginate (SA), and incorporated with polystyrene (PS) particles to enhance self-floating capability and thermal localization performance, followed by freeze-drying. With an optimized truncated pyramid structure, the evaporator exhibited excellent evaporation efficiency and stability in interfacial solar evaporation. Under 1 sun irradiation, the SE achieved an evaporation rate of 2.12  kg·m−2·h−1 in a 3.5wt% NaCl solution, with an evaporation efficiency of 118.5%. The removal rates of Na+, K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ all exceeded 99.9%. This study demonstrates that the biomass-based evaporator possesses promising seawater desalination performance and good salt crystallization resistance, providing a feasible approach for sustainable freshwater supply.
