APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DESALINATION
A water desalination system comprising an evaporator for evaporating saline water to produce water vapor; an adsorption means in selective vapor communication with the evaporator for reversibly adsorbing the water vapor from the evaporator; said adsorption means in selective vapor communication with a condenser, and; desorbing means for desorbing the adsorbed water vapor from the adsorption means for collection by the condenser; said condenser adapted to condense the water vapor to desalinated water.
