A method is provided to fabricate a green desiccant wheel. A green recycled adsorbent material of aluminum hydroxide and alumina is extracted and used as a base material to be added to a 3-dimensional (3D) network skeleton of a foam support. Through sintering, surface is hardened with the material adsorbed to megapores uniformly distributed. Thus, an adsorbent material of porous ceramic having pores on surface is made. The area contacting with moist air is increased. The moisture-adsorbing capacity is improved. At last, the whole procedure is integrated to develop a high-efficiency green desiccant wheel. Thus, the reusable materials are kept at innate grade or upgraded for recycling and regenerating. New materials and products can be further fabricated. The present invention helps solving environmental problem of wastes. Life cycle of resource is lengthened. A sample of recycling economy is innovated. Industrial efficiency is effectively enhanced.
