흡착식 다중효용증발장치(MEAD)를 이용한 고도농축 실험

Abstract

Adsorption desalination (AD) technology can simultaneously produce high-concentration concentrated water and fresh water using a low-temperature (<80°C) heat source, low temperature (<30°C), and low pressure (<10kPa). Therefore,it can minimize fouling and scale occurrence compared to existing seawater desalination technologies (MED, MSF, RO), and is environmentally friendly by minimizing the use of chemicals in the pretreatment process. In this study, a high-concentration experiment was performed by combining the MED process with the existing AD process. As a result, freshwater production and high concentration were made possible at a low top brine temperature (TBT).
