Abstract

The demand of fresh water is constantly growing worldwide. So far, this need is satisfied through high exergy-inputs, driven by electricity or high-temperature source. The development of innovative low-exergy solutions is then urgent. By a holistic approach, the WADERE project intends to develop and pre-validate at lab-scale (TRL3) a thermally-driven sorption process to provide desalinated water using low-grade heat sources (
