Present research purpose is to develop the efficient concentration and separation system of sea water by using combustion synthesized porous ceramic materials. The inside of the porous ceramic material becomes the skeleton structure with the smooth surface. The capillarity can be generated by this peculiar micro structure. In addition, evaporation rate rapidly increases on the porous material, since it has large specific surface area. The seawater desalination system of the good energy efficiency was constructed.
