Desalination Via Graphene and Heliostat

A method of removing salt from saltwater, comprising:

• conveying saltwater from a saltwater source to a primary desalination reactor via a saltwater transfer conduit, wherein the saltwater transfer conduit has a luminal surface that comprises a super-hydrophobic coating;
• and
• using a heliostat to provide thermal energy to the primary desalination reactor in an amount sufficient to continuously generate from the saltwater a water vapor and a solid salt precipitate;
• and
• continuously withdrawing the water vapor and the solid salt precipitate from the primary desalination reactor.

A method of manufacturing hydrogen gas, the method comprising:

• conveying water from a water source to a primary desalination reactor via a water transfer conduit, wherein the water transfer conduit has a luminal surface that comprises a super-hydrophobic coating;
• using a heliostat to provide energy to the primary desalination reactor and a hydrogen generating reactor;
• and
• using an electrode in the hydrogen generating reactor and the energy from the heliostat to electrochemically generate hydrogen gas from the water, wherein the electrode comprises a super-hydrophilic material.
