Basics
- This Page Aims to Determine
- What Minerals Can be Extracted from Seawater (Brine)
- How Can This Be Done / What Machines Does it Require
- How Does This Fit Into Existing / Future Product Ecologies
- What Environmental Impacts Would Seawater Mineral Extraction Have, and how does Scale effect this?
- Can the Same Process(es) be Applied to Brine from Conventional Desalination Plants (A Waste Product with Potential for Ecological Harm), or Produced Water ?

Terminology Stuff
- Short of one paper, it hasn't seemed to have been used much, but "Brine-to-X" may be a useful term, in a similar manner to Power-to-X
- ESSENTIALLY:
- Brine-to-Chemicals ( Sodium Hydroxide , Sodium Hypochlorite , Sodium carbonate / Sodium bicarbonate , Metallic Sodium , Magnesium (and it's derivatives) ,
- Brine-to-Fuel (Mainly Hydrogen (and fuel derivatives of hydrogen) as a byproduct of the Chloralkali process (aka Electrolysis of Brine ) )
- Brine-to-Water (Both Desalination as a concept + the math for how much "extra" water would be made by a ZLD Setup
- Brine-to-Materials (Although Roughly the same as Chemicals, could refer to things more useful for construction/Land Reclamation use rather than as a useful chemical)\
- Brine-to-Food ( Sea Salt !)
- Also just makes a useful category name
- Although Brine Product Ecology / Sodium Chloride Product Ecology could potentially work as well
Internal Links
- Mineral Extraction from Industrial Brine / Mineral Extraction from Spent Drilling Fluid
- Similar concept, less universal feedstock (for better or for worse)
