Abstract
A method and an apparatus of producing natural salt or fresh water by treating sea water in an extremely short period of time and with high efficiently. The distilled water and salt components are treated for expediting crystallization of the salt components by evaporating water components by atomizing sea water and blowing warm wind thereto. During this treatment, there are provided a method and an apparatus of arranging net or cloth at one stage or a plurality of stages in a midway of a flow of the evaporated water components and adhering the salt components on the net or the cloth when the evaporated water components pass through the net or the cloth.
Claims22
A method of treating sea water or condensed sea water for producing salt, comprising the following steps of:
- providing a treating chamber having a roof and side walls,
- atomizing sea water into the treating chamber by scattering the sea water with use of a centrifugal generator,
- evaporating water components of the atomized sea water by blowing warm wind to the atomized sea water,
- arranging a first screen in one stage or a plurality of stages for passing the evaporated water components therethrough, said first screen is positioned below an opening provided at the roof of the treating chamber for exhausting the evaporated water components,
- adhering salt components to the first screen when the water components atomized by the rotation of the centrifugal generator and evaporated by the warm wind move upwardly toward the opening and pass through the first screen, and
- removing the adhered salt components by peeling and dropping the salt components from the first screen.
An apparatus of treating sea water for producing salt comprising:
- a treating chamber having a roof and side walls;
- a centrifugal generator for atomizing sea water by scattering the sea water in the treating chamber by its rotation;
- means for blowing warm air wind to the atomized sea water in the treating chamber to evaporate water components in the sea water thereby crystallizing the salt components;
- a first screen formed in one stage or a plurality of stages for passing the evaporated water components therethrough, said first screen is below an opening provided at the roof of the treating chamber for exhausting the evaporated water components, wherein the crystallized salt components adhere to the first screen;
- and
- means for peeling and dropping the salt components adhered to the first screen.
An apparatus of treating sea water comprising:
- a treating chamber having a roof and side walls;
- means for atomizing sea water by rotating a centrifugal generator and scattering the sea water into the treating chamber;
- means for blowing warm wind to mist of the atomized sea water in the treating chamber to vaporize the atomized sea water and thereby crystallizing the salt components;
- a duct hole provided in the roof of the treating chamber for exhausting the vaporized water in the treating chamber to outside of the treating chamber;
- at least one stage of a net for covering the duct hole, wherein the crystallized salt components adhere to the net;
- and
- means for peeling and dropping the salt component adhered to the net.
