摘要
Liquid desiccants used for many industrial and domestic applications have to be reconcentrated for reuse. Instead of using thermal energy, a method is proposed in this paper to use mechanical energy for regeneration of weak desiccants. The osmotic pressure required to regenerate two such desiccants, namely calcium chloride and lithium chloride, for given operating conditions is predicted, and correlations are developed. It is found that the pressure required for calcium chloride is much less than that of lithium chloride for the same operating conditions. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
