3D tisk higroskopskih materialov za pridobivanje vode iz zraka

Korenjak, Urban (author), Poredoš, Primož (mentor)

Sorpcijsko atmosfersko pridobivanje vode je ena ključnih tehnologij reševanja rastoče globalne vodne krize. 3D-tisk predstavlja obetajočo metodo za proizvodnjo sorpcijskih materialov, saj zagotavlja učinkovitost in prilagodljivost natisnjenih sorbentov. Izdelali smo 3D-tiskalnik na principu DIW in z zasnovano kalibracijsko metodo izboljšali kvaliteto tiska. Preizkusili smo več sorpcijskih črnil in ustrezne uporabili za 3D-tisk. Natisnjeni vzorci so v testu sorpcije in desorpcije dosegli izvrstne sorpcijske in desorpcijske lastnosti.

• Title: 3D printed hygroscopic materials for atmosferic water harvesting

Abstract

Sorption atmospheric water harvesting is one of the key technologies for addressing the growing global water crisis. 3D printing represents a promising method for manufacturing sorption materials, as it enables efficiency and flexibility of printed sorbents. A DIW-based 3D printer was developed, and the print quality was improved using a designed calibration method. Several sorption inks were tested, and suitable formulations were used for 3D printing. The printed samples demonstrated excellent sorption and desorption performance in sorption and desorption tests.
