*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

Basics

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