Forward osmosis (FO) is a promising desalination technology to address global freshwater demand. However, drawback the use of draw solvent that can be regenerated enable continuous process. Recently, thermally responsive ionic liquids (ILs) have been demonstrated exhibit high osmotic pressures and liquid-liquid phase separation with water upon heating. This behavior enables utilization low-cost heat from solar energy, which abundant in regions face scarcity. In this work, we develop system design for solar-thermal FO simulate its performance using location-specific data, integrated thermal energy storage minimize intermittency. A technoeconomic optimization analysis also performed determine optimal sizing minimizes levelized cost (LCOW) at distributed scale 10 m3/day. To evaluate feasibility, case studies are presented different locations within United States: Phoenix, AZ; San Diego, CA; Atlanta, GA. Notably, over 96% required regeneration comes and/or storage, auxiliary heating electricity The reveals positive outlook small-scale desalination, approaching $1/m3 by lowering costs collector module.
