Environmental Aspects of Concentrate Disposal [Jan 2008]
Treatment of brines is paramount to the operation of a desalination plant
The amount of matter available on our planet is limited and final and has been so from the time of its formation (barring solar radiation and a few meteorites). Nature operates by the continual recycling of materials, including that of water. The water cycle is a slow one, taking thousands and even millions of years. In principle, each drop of clear water which we consume has passed through the whole cycle. The natural cycle involves three major energy consuming processes: evaporation with the aid of solar energy, evaporation with the aid of thermal energy and biological processes whereby membranes and biological pumps utilise chemical energy.
