Efficient fog collector with superhydrophobic coated surface
Original language description
In this work, we developed a novel harp structure that collects water directly from fog in comparison with conventional Raschel mesh. Polyethylene (PE) monofilament was used as a collector’s element in the harp. The Raschel mesh in its particular design is quite anisotropic, shows elastic behavior breadth-wise while no stiffness is exhibited in transverse direction. A comparison of fog collection yield for the harp signifies that fog harvesting rate is four times higher than Raschel mesh, suggesting some alterations in monofilament diameter and collector element. Therefore, harp technology with cylindrical monofilaments can be deployed commercially to increase the efficiency of fog collectors, where mass and velocity of fog are inappropriate for Raschel mesh. In addition, silane-coated harp showed that surface hydrophobicity further enhances fog collection efficiency. The fog collector elem- ent (FCE) after silane coating significantly enhanced fog water collection yield. Samples were character- ized by high resolution scanning electron microscope (HR-SEM), energy-dispersive x-ray (EDX) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Hydrophobicity was analyzed by static water contact angle and water collection yield.
