The widespread use of fossil energy emits a large amount of carbon dioxide, leading to the greenhouse effect and global warming. The essence of reducing carbon emissions is to achieve higher-quality sustainable development. The recycling of waste heat in the iron and steel industry is of great significance to reducing carbon emissions. Aiming at the problem of insufficient utilization of gas in iron and steel industry and the development of seawater desalination industry, a water-electricity cogeneration and thermal membrane coupling technology is established. Low-temperature multi-effect distillation seawater desalination device is directly connected with steam turbine generator, which uses gas to generate electricity. After generating electricity, negative pressure exhaust at the end of steam turbine is used for seawater desalination. The thermal efficiency of the system is increased to over 80%, the waste heat is effectively utilized, and the carbon emission in the thermal desalination process is reduced. At the same time, the high-efficiency removal and resource utilization of salt in concentrated seawater are realized. The recovery ratio of freshwater is over 55%, the salt content of freshwater is below 500 mg/L, and the salt content of seawater concentrated by membrane method can reach 79,450 mg/L. A new comprehensive utilization and recycling system of seawater has been constructed to realize efficient recycling of energy resources and promote the development process of carbon emission reduction.
