초록

This study aims to design a portable desalination device and discusses the feasibility of the device for overcoming a shortage of safe drinking water. A low-energy, self-supporting, and portable desalination device is designed based on forward osmosis (FO) using an ammonium bicarbonate solution. Experiments with various concentrations of ammonium bicarbonate solution and sodium chloride solution showed that the portable desalination device's performance such as volume and flow rate of desalting water and time required satisfied drinking water standards. The device performance is controlled by varying the concentration and temperature of the solution. © 2013 The Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers.
