Duplicating Freshwater Productivity of Adsorption Desalination System Using Aluminum Metal Filings

In this paper, improving the overall heat transfer coefficient by adding aluminum species to silica gel has been studied theoretically. An adsorption desalination system is proposed, and a lumped theoretical model conducted to investigate employing the metal additives within the adsorbent bed with a...
