3. Characteristics of reject brine
By definition, brine is any water stream in a desalination process that has higher salinity than the feed. Reject brine is the highly concentrated water in the last stage of the desalination process that is usually discharged as wastewater. Severa[r]

(Fig. 13). Karst water formed new channels to the actual sea surface, and these are the present upper veins and springs (Breznik, 1998).
All the changes in the direction of flow and salinities are shown in Figs. 7 and 8, whether there is fresh or bracki[r]

Membrane distillation
Membrane distillation (MD) is a separation/distillation technique, where water is transported between “hot” and a “cool” stream separated by a hydrophobic membrane, permeable only to water vapor, which excludes the transition of liquid phase and potential dis[r]

If the MSF system would not be considered, for the optimal design of a two stage RO plant the capacity of the second stage will decrease when the seawater salinity increases (Marcovecchio et al., 2005). In fact, even though the stream rejected from the firs[r]

The sustainability and prosperity of the ancient civilizations of China, Egypt, Baby- lonia, Phoenicia, Persia and Roma were based on the extensive use of water for hu- man consumption, crop irrigation, canal navigation and energy generation. Today, the worldwide sc[r]
