Abstract

Abstract: Adsorption-based desalination attracted increasingly attention due to its ability to co-generate double distilled fresh water and cooling effect using only one heat input. The system employs a combination of flash evaporation and thermal compression. This paper presents the current literature review on the dual effect (cooling and desalination) adsorption desalination system (ADS), which is an emerging process of thermal desalination with cooling utilizing low-grade heat source. The paper also presents the adsorbents suitable for adsorption–desalination systems, performance of ADS, and the thermodynamic analysis of the adsorption desalination cycle. A comparison between the stated ADS has been also presented in this study.
