Petroleum Coke Embedded in Cigarette Butts: All Waste-Derived Solar Evaporator for Effective Water Evaporation

Résumé

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation is an eco-friendly solution for tackling the impending water scarcity the world is facing in our century. In this work, a solar-driven interfacial evaporator was prepared from cigarette butts loaded with petroleum coke powder (Filter-PetCoke), a by-product of the oil refinery processes, for the improvement of the absorption of the incident solar light. A comparison between a flat 2D and a 3D evaporator with a surface composed of orderly patterned protrusions of 2.1 cm was carried out to assess the influence of the evaporator configuration on the evaporation performance. The 3D evaporator (3D Filter-PetCoke) achieved by far the best performance (evaporation rate: 1.97 ± 0.08 kg m–2 h–1 and solar conversion efficiency: 93.2 ± 5.4%) among the prepared samples (3D Filter-PetCoke, 3D Filter, 2D Filter-PetCoke, and 2D Filter). In addition, this configuration seems to be adaptable for real and more massive operation because of the geometry of the evaporator. The high efficiency was ascribed to the good heat generation of the petroleum coke and the excellent heat management of the 3D structure of the evaporator. Moreover, this evaporator was resistant to multiple repeated usages without significant efficiency loss and capable of producing drinking water from seawater and Escherichia coli (E. coli)-contaminated water. The findings in this work indicate that this evaporator is pertinent to real situations to supply safe freshwater very efficiently from chemically/biologically contaminated water.
