Obtaining Drinking Water from Air Humidity
Not a plant to be seen,the desert ground is too dry.But the air contains water,and research scientists
have found a. __________
(51)of obtaining drinking water from air humidity."The process we have
developed is based exclusively on renewable energy sources_________(52)thermal solar collectors and
photovoltaic（光电的）cells , ________( 53 ) makes this method completely energy-autonomous. It will
____________( 54 ) function in regions where there is no electrical infrastructure（基础设施）,"says Siegfried
Egner,head of the research team. The principle of the_________(55)is as follows:hygroscopic（吸湿的）
brine（盐水）一saline（含盐的）solution which absorbs moisture一runs down a tower-shaped unit and absorbs
water from the air. It is then sucked__________(56)a tank a few meters off the ground in which a vacuum
prevails.Energy from solar collectors_________(57)up the brine,which is diluted by the water it has
__________ (58).
Because of the vacuum,the boiling point of the liquid is lower than it would be under__________(59)
atmospheric pressure. The evaporated (蒸发的）, non-saline water is condensed and runs down through a
completely filled tube in a controlled manner. The gravity of this water column_______(60)produces the
vacuum and so a vacuum pump is not needed.The reconcentrated brine________(61)down the tower
surface again to absorb moisture from the air.
"The concept is suitable for various water________(62).Single一person units and plants
supplying water to entire hotels are conceivable,"says Egner. Prototypes have been built for_______
(63)system components一air moisture absorption and vacuum evaporation一and the research scientists
have already __________(64)their interplay on a laboratory scale.In a further ________(65)the re-
searchers intend to develop a demonstration facility.
_________(65)
A:instrument
B:step
C:case
D:ground
