Brine Purification Process: Highlights

The document summarizes a brine purification process that improves brine quality before it enters a salt crystallization plant. The process uses chemical treatment to remove calcium and magnesium from the brine, resulting in a purified brine that can be directly fed into evaporation. This leads to efficient chemical use and benefits the plant operator through improved salt purity, extended equipment lifetime, reduced evaporation energy usage, and fewer cleaning cycles. The brine purification plant adds chemicals like calcium oxide and carbon dioxide to purify the brine in a more efficient way than traditional sodium hydroxide treatment, particularly for brines with high sulphate content.

Brine Purification Process

Highlights
Brine purification improves the brine quality upstream of a salt crystallisation plant. By means of chemical treatment a brine is obtained which is nearly free of calcium and magnesium which can be produced and fed directly into the evaporation process. This brine purification process leads to an efficient use of process chemicals.

Advantages for the plant operator
