Reverse osmosis is a widely employed technology for the desalination of highly mineralized mine water. However, achieving zero liquid discharge (ZLD) through subsequent evaporation and crystallization resultant concentrated brine incurs significant costs energy consumption. Solar interfacial water presents promising alternative generating fresh from both seawater wastewater. Nevertheless, under high-salinity conditions, formation salt crystals on surface evaporators hinders light absorption, thus diminishing efficiency. This study introduces three-dimensional (3D) columnar sponge evaporator synthesized by crosslinking sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) with polyacrylic acid (PAA) incorporating coal-based carbon (MC) materials to develop photothermal sponges (CMC10/x-MC) treatment saline The polymer was formed an esterification reaction between PAA CMC high-temperature pore size tailored adjusting dosage. engineered 3D porous structure facilitated enhanced scattering within its pores, thereby boosting absorption conversion efficiency incorporated carbon. CMC10/x-MC-based achieved rate up 3.72 kg·m-2·h-1 in brines, demonstrating superior performance. Collectively, based CMC10/x-MC solar-driven solution wastewater offers viable pathway addressing challenges associated ZLD processes.
