    摘要: Embodiment methods and systems for controlling the solubility of solutes in a membrane separation process are provided. Controlling solubility includes introducing a signal input to at least one solution used in the membrane separation process, such that the signal input changes the solubility of at least one solute in the at least one solution. Introducing the signal input is selected from the group of applying electromagnetic radiation to the at least one solution, applying mechanical input to the at least one solution, applying vibratory input to the at least one solution, changing a magnetic field of the at least one solution, introducing a secondary solute to the at least one solution, and removing a substance from the at least one solution.

    摘要: An energy efficient desalination process that does not produce waste products involves the extraction of water from a first solution, such as seawater, by using a second concentrated solution to draw the water from the first solution across a semi-permeable membrane. By manipulating the equilibrium of the soluble and insoluble species of solute within the second solution in favor of the soluble species of the solute, a saturated second solution can be used to generate osmotic pressure on the first solution. Also, by adjusting the equilibrium in favor of the less soluble species after the water has been drawn from the first solution, a portion of the solute can easily be precipitated out. Heating the second solution decomposes the solute into its constituent gases. The constituent gases and precipitated solute may be recycled through the process to affect the changes in equilibrium and eliminate waste products. Additionally, by using the waste steam from industrial sources and a heat pump to effectively distribute heat through the present method, the present method exhibits greater energy efficiency than prior art methods.
