Abstract

Current desalination technologies such as thermal distillation and
reverse osmosis are energy intensive and possess inherent limitations that prevent high water recovery, resulting in the production of concentrated brines that require extensive handling. In addition, naturally concentrated brines found in terminal lakes such as the Great Salt Lake may contain valuable minerals of economic importance. Combining desalination with mineral recovery may reduce the environmental impact and improve the economic viability of desalination, but requires technologies that have low energy requirements and the capability to operate at high concentrations.
