Study Looks at Combining Brine Management with Carbon Capture

摘要

The Science for Environment Policy-European Commission DG Environment News Alert Service reported that due to water shortages in areas throughout the world and the demand for fresh water, the construction of desalination plants will increase.rnA study has evaluated a combined process to manage both the brine byproduct from desalination plants and capture carbon dioxide. The study investigated a new approach for disposing desalination brine at coastal and inland locations. The process converts the brine into useful and reusable products by passing ammonia and carbon dioxide through the brine solution.
