Made of a special type of paper coated with a compound called titanium nitride oxide, the material heats rapidly and vaporizes water when exposed to the sun. The resulting water vapor is then condensed and collected via a container with a sloped quartz roof. The researchers found that water desalinated using the technology contains lower levels of salt than ordinary drinking water. They added that the desalination unit can be rapidly deployed in remote seaside areas without access to potable water. The findings of the study were published in the journal AIP Advances. Breaking down the desalination unit The entire desalination unit consists of a box with a sloped quartz roof. Inside the box is a reservoir of seawater and above this is an evaporation unit, which purifies seawater by vaporizing it. ....

Solar-powered desalination Credit: nito100 / Getty Images A team of Chinese researchers have announced an efficient solar-powered desalination technique that directly uses the Sun’s energy to clean water instead of reverse osmosis. Current desalination plants usually operate by two ways: distilling water by boiling or evaporating it, or using a membrane to separate salt particles from water (reverse osmosis). There has been a lot of research into improving the newer reverse osmosis method, but a paper published in AIP Advances suggests a technique that could improve the energy efficiency of distillation. This new technique uses a transparent container with a sloped quartz roof, filled with seawater. Floating in the seawater is a device made of a substance called titanium nitride oxide (TiNO), an insulating foam, and a specific type of paper. ....
Novel Solar-Driven Desalination Unit Could Resolve World’s Freshwater Scarcity Written by AZoCleantechApr 28 2021 Although Earth has a vast amount of water, a major portion of it is non-potable seawater, with freshwater making up only about 2.5% of the total. Many places around the world hence experience acute water scarcities. Solar-powered desalination unit consists of three layers: wicking material, a thermal insulator, and a paper-based solar light absorber containing titanium. Image Credit: Chao Chang. Researchers in China report the development of a very efficient desalination device driven by solar energy in AIP Advances, by AIP Publishing. The device comprises a titanium-containing layer, titanium nitride oxide (TiNO), that can absorb solar energy. The TiNO is placed on an exclusive type of paper and foam that enables the solar absorber to float on seawater. ....
