Title: Super-adsorbing porous thermo-responsive desiccants

Abstract

Thermo-responsive hydrogel composite (TRHC) desiccants having high adsorption capacities, fast adsorption/desorption rates, and low regeneration temperatures (Treg) compared to traditional desiccants. TRHC desiccants may be synthesized by freeze drying. The porous structures resulting from freeze drying copolymers of thermo-responsive polymers and/or hygroscopic agents may be combined with hygroscopic inorganic salts, resulting in TRHC desiccants having superior performance properties.

Systems and methods for water desalination using thermo-responsive ionic liquids regenerated by solar energy

Patent Kostecki, Robert; Prasher, Ravi S.; Menon, Akanksha K.; ...

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus related to water desalination. In one aspect, a method includes generating a diluted draw solution using forward osmosis. Wastewater is on a first side of an osmotic membrane and a draw solution is on a second side of the osmotic membrane. The draw solution comprises a mixture of water and an ionic liquid. Water in the wastewater diffuses across the osmotic membrane to the draw solution to form the diluted draw solution. The diluted draw solution is heated using a photonic heater to a temperature above a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) ofmore » « less

Indirect evaporative cooler using membrane-contained, liquid desiccant for dehumidification

Patent Kozubal, Eric Joseph

An indirect evaporative cooler for cooling inlet supply air from a first temperature to a second, lower temperature using a stream of liquid coolant and a stream of exhaust or purge air. The cooler includes a first flow channel for inlet supply air and a second flow channel adjacent the first for exhaust air. The first and second flow channels are defined in part by sheets of a membrane permeable to water vapor such that mass is transferred as a vapor through the membrane from the inlet supply air to a contained liquid desiccant for dehumidification and also to themore » « less

Method and apparatus for extracting water from air using a desiccant

Patent Spletzer, Barry L [Albuquerque, NM]; Callow, Diane Schafer [Albuquerque, NM]

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for extracting liquid water from moist air using minimal energy input. The method can be considered as four phases: (1) adsorbing water from air into a desiccant, (2) isolating the water-laden desiccant from the air source, (3) desorbing water as vapor from the desiccant into a chamber, and (4) isolating the desiccant from the chamber, and compressing the vapor in the chamber to form liquid condensate. The liquid condensate can be removed for use. Careful design of the dead volumes and pressure balances can minimize the energy required. The dried air canmore » « less

Desiccant mixture compositions

Patent Katsenovich, Yelena

The invention pertains to desiccants within improved adsorption. The desiccants of the invention include silica, aluminum, bicarbonate and calcium. The addition of calcium increases the porosity of the resulting precipitated solid, which increases the adsorption properties. The invention also pertains to methods of preventing moisture damage to a chattel placed in an enclosed environment by placing the desiccant of the invention into the enclosed environment.
