In the present paper, we have conducted a comprehensive analysis of vapor pressures of both saturated and unsaturated solutions, alongside a study of evaporation using synthetic and natural fabrics for industrial applications in brackish water treatment under zero liquid discharge (ZLD) philosophy. By determining the vapor pressures of saturated solutions, we obtained results consistent with those of other researchers, extending the range of tested temperatures from 1 to 50 °C and successfully fitting the parameters of an Antoine-type equation. Similarly, positive results were achieved for unsaturated solutions, where various parameters of different equations accounting for the salt concentration were estimated, simplifying the fitting procedure. Natural evaporation tests from water surfaces using saturated solutions revealed that salts with higher associated vapor pressures exhibit higher evaporation rates. On the other hand, hydrated salts retain water in their structure and are significantly affected by ambient humidity. Evaporation studies on natural and synthetic fabrics with saturated NaCl and CuSO·5HO solutions showed distinct behaviors. NaCl increased both the evaporation rate and salt deposition with each cycle. In contrast, CuSO·5HO reduced the absorption capacity by blocking the fabric's structure, decreasing the evaporation efficiency over successive cycles.
