This work introduces a simple one-reactor adsorption desalination system that harnesses low temperature heat sources (solar energy, waste heat), which has been experimentally studied to elicit the most suitable design parameters and operating conditions. The design process of the system was divided into three parts to reflect the operating principle of desalination technology with application of adsorption processes. First, the evaporator for the vaporization of saline water was designed, then the reactor for the adsorption and release of the steam, followed by the condenser for condensation of the fresh water. The specific water yield is measured experimentally with respect to the time while controlling parameters such as heat source temperatures, coolant temperatures, system switching and half-cycle operational times. The present system well demonstrates the applicability of silica gel in relation to adsorption technologies that utilize low temperature heat sources ranging from 60 to $80^{\circ}C$, such as solar energy and waste heat.

According to the environment report of UN, korea was classified as potable water shortage countries. Approximately 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by ocean. However, it is difficult to use for industry of residential purpose without a certain processing. The development of solar and waste-heat used absorption desalination technology have been examined as a viable option for supplying clean energy. In this study, the modelling of the main devices for solar and waste-heat used and adsorption desalination system was introduced. The design is divided into three parts. First, the evaporator for the vaporization of the top water is designed, and then the reactor for the adsorption and release of the steam is designed, followed by the condenser for the condensation of the fresh water is designed. In addition, new features based on the energy balance are also included to design absorption desalination system. In this basicresearch, One-bed(reactor) adsorption desalination plant that employ a low-temperature solar and waste energy was proposed and experimentally studied. The specific water yield is measured experimentally with respect to the time controlling parameters such as heat source temperatures, coolant temperatures, system switching and half-cycle operational times.

The development of solar thermal energy used adsorption desalination technology have been examined as a viable option for supplying clean energy. In this study, the modelling of the main devices for solar thermal energy used and adsorption desalination system was introduced. Silica gel type adsorption desalination system is considered to be a promising low-temperature heat utilization system. The design is divided into three parts. First, the evaporator for the vaporization of the tap water is designed, and then the reactor for the adsorption and release of the steam is designed, followed by the condenser for the condensation of the fresh water is designed. In addition, new features based on the energy balance are also included to design absorption desalination system. In this basic research, One-bed(reactor) adsorption desalination plant that employ a low-temperature solar thermal energy was proposed and experimentally studied. The specific water yield is measured experimentally with respect to the time controlling parameters such as heat source temperatures, coolant temperatures, system switching and half-cycle operational times. Desalination is processes that permeate our daily lives, but It requires substantial energy input, powered either from electricity or from thermal input. From the environmental and sustainability perspecives, innovative thermodynamic cycles are needed to produce the above-mentioned useful effects at a lower specific energy input. This article describes the development of adsorption cycles for the production of desalting effects. We want that this adsorption system can be driven by low temperature heat sources at 60 to $80^{\circ}C$, such as renewable, solar thermal energy.

직물집전체는 에너지 효율이 높은 담수화 방식인 축전식탈염(Capacitive deionization: CDI)시스템에서 유망한 전극 재료가 될 수 있다. 직물집전체의 매력적인 특징 중 하나는 인장강도가 강하다는 것인데, 기계적 강도가 약한 그라파이트 호일 전극의 대안이 될 수 있다. 또한 섬유적 특성으로 인하여 쉽게 형상을 만들 수 있고, 다공성 물질이라는 점과 섬유 간 공간은 수용성 매질의 흐름을 원활하게 해 준다. 본 연구에 사용된 섬유는 도전성 LM fiber와 carbon fiber를 사용한 방적사를 이용하여 직조 구조로 만들어졌으며, 인장강도는 319 MPa로 그라파이트 호일에 비해서 약 60 배 정도 더 강하다. 전극슬러리의 점도, 흡착전압, 공급액의 유량, 공급액의 농도를 변화시켜 가면서 염 제거효율을 측정하여 결과를 분석하였다. NaCl 200 mg/L, 20 ml/min, 흡착전압 1.5 V 조건에서, 단위 셀에서 43.9%, 100개의 셀을 적층한 모듈에서는 59.8%의 염 제거 효율을 각각 보였다. 단위 셀에서는 흡착전압이 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 V로 증가함에 따라 염 제거효율이 증가하다가 1.6과 1.7 V로 증가하면서 염 제거 효율은 감소하였다. 그러나 100 셀 적층 모듈에서는 1.5 V 이상의 전압에서도 염 제거효율이 완만한 증가세를 나타내었다. 공급액의 유량을 증가시켰을 때 염 제거율은 감소하였고, 또한 공급액의 농도를 증가시켰을 때에도 염 제거율은 감소하였다.
