Extraction of commercially valuable mineral salt from reverse osmosis brine using a spray dry process

“…The thermal desalination process has a number of flaws, including reactor and pipeline corrosion, low pure water recovery, and issues with feed and reject pre-and post-treatment [9]. Various membrane technologies with high water recovery, reduced pre-treatment, and post-treatment approaches have been developed in recent years [5,[10][11][12]. However, the majority of the concentrated brine is returned to sea by both thermal and membrane processes.…”
