10 results about "Brine mining" patented technology

Brine mining is the extraction of useful materials (elements or compounds) which are naturally dissolved in brine. The brine may be seawater, other surface water, or groundwater. It differs from solution mining or in-situ leaching in that those methods inject water or chemicals to dissolve materials which are in a solid state; in brine mining, the materials are already dissolved.

Systems and methods for water desalination and brine mining

Water desalination systems and methods are designed to provide high recovery of saline water and highly concentrated water while minimizing energy usage. The systems process pre-treated water using fluidly coupled pumps and filters. A pump increases the pressure of the pre-treated water to a desired value for a specific filter. The filter separates the pre-treated water into a permeate water stream and a concentrated water stream. The systems further include multiple brine-concentration (BC) membranes that are interconnected in either a series or a parallel arrangement. These membranes are coupled with optional upstream and downstream reverse-osmosis (RO) membranes to produce high-purity permeate water. Energy recovery devices are integrated into the systems to recover hydraulic energy from the concentrated water and thus reduce energy consumption. The systems utilize optional salinity-adaptive multistage reverse-osmosis (SAMRO) pretreatment to achieve recoveries beyond conventional reverse-osmosis systems.
