Abstract
A process for water, mineral, and/or organics recovery, as well as devices and systems that practice the process, are disclosed. The process may include providing a plurality of evaporator structures, each structure physically separated from the others, and contacting the first end of each evaporator structure with a liquid containing a plurality of materials (such as a solvent and one or more minerals). The process may include allowing capillary forces and siphonic action to draw at least one material of the plurality of materials (which may be, e.g., the solvent, a volatile organic material, and/or a mineral) from the first end towards the second end, and evaporating one or more of the plurality of materials by transferring at least one form of environmental energy (such as solar energy, wind energy, and/or ambient heat of air) directly to each evaporator structure, thereby providing the latent heat of vaporization.
