A SYSTEM AND A DEVICE FOR DESALINATION OF WATER

摘要

There is used in a process and a device for desalinating saltwater a salt which will absorb water of crystallisation and which has a dissolution index of not higher than 10<-24>. Saltwater is brought into contact with the salt, so that the salt will bind water from the saltwater and form a crystal hydrate. The salt freed from the saltwater is then heated, wherewith water is released as water vapour, which is collected and cooled to obtain desalinated water.
