Abstract

See full text

A water desalination system and process are provided in which a suspension is fed into a water desalination chamber from a source container. At least one effervescent tablet is introduced into a base fluid within the source container to form the suspension. The effervescent tablet serves to increase the heat absorption of the base fluid and enhance the efficiency of the water desalination process. The effervescent tablet used in the process may include multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) as well as one or more surfactants and/or effervescent agents such as sodium dodecyl sulfate, monosodium phosphate, and sodium carbonate. Introduction of the effervescent tablet into the base fluid may result in the growth of crystals within the suspension. The presence of crystals in the suspension serving to further enhance the solar radiation and heat absorbance of the base fluid.
