Abstract
even under high brine concentration conditions. Furthermore, the hydrogel-based evaporator also demonstrated excellent ion rejection, high/low pH tolerance, and excellent purification properties toward heavy metals and organic dyes. It is believed that this type of dual-layer multichannel evaporator is promising to be used in seawater desalination, water pollution treatment, and other environmental remediation-related applications.
