L.; and Politecnico Di Torino on April 20, 2026, for Integrated System For Demineralization And/Or Purification Of Water And For Simultaneous Production Of Hydrogen.
Inventors include Monticelli, Alessandro; Morciano, Matteo; Chiavazzo, Eliodoro; Fasano, Matteo; and Provenzano, Marina.
The application for the patent was published on September 11, 2026, under issue no. 37/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an integrated system for demineralization and/or purification of water and for the simultaneous production of hydrogen comprising a heat-dissipating element thermally connected to a system for demineralization and/or purification of water which is hydraulically connected to an electrochemical cell producing hydrogen, wherein the system for demineralization and/or purification of water is a system operating through the principle of thermal distillation via membrane and comprises at least two units, each comprising a first chamber, inside which waste water to be demineralized and/or purified flows under pressure and a second chamber, inside which demineralized and/or purified water flows under pressure in the opposite direction with respect to the direction of flow of the waste water, the two chambers being separated by a preferably microporous hydrophobic membrane, wherein the at least two units are placed thermally in series and hydraulically in parallel with continuous flow, wherein each unit is hydraulically connected to a source of waste water and a source of demineralized and/or purified water, in particular wherein each first chamber comprises an inlet portion, hydraulically connected to the source of waste water, for introduction into the first chamber of waste water, while each second chamber comprises an inlet portion, hydraulically connected to the source of demineralized and/or purified water, for introduction into the second chamber of demineralized and/or purified water, wherein the first chamber further comprises an outlet portion for emission from the first chamber of waste water, and the second the chamber further comprises an outlet portion for emission from the second chamber of demineralized and/or purified water, wherein inside each unit the first chamber is spatially located with an opposite configuration with respect to the second chamber, thus forming in the unit a first area in which in proximity to the inlet portion of the first chamber there is the outlet portion of the second chamber, and a second area, spatially opposite the first area, in which near the outlet portion of the first chamber there is the inlet portion of the second chamber.
