Valorization of Desalination Brines into Molten Salts, Carbonates and Thermal Fluids

By | | , , ,
Leave a comment

The management of brines generated from seawater desalination has become a central issue in arid and semi-arid regions, particularly in Mediterranean basin countries and the Middle East. The rapid increase in desalination capacity, especially through reverse osmosis, has helped secure access to drinking water but has also generated a growing stream of hypersaline discharges. Global estimates indicate that worldwide brine production now exceeds 140 million m³/day, or more than 50 billion m³/year, with continuous growth driven by industrial desalination development [1]. One of the most widely studied pathways is the transformation of salts contained in brine into materials for thermal … Continue reading →

Leave a comment

Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have emerged as one of the most critical classes of persistent organic contaminants threatening global water resources. Due to their exceptional chemical stability, resistance to degradation, and widespread industrial applications, PFAS are increasingly detected in groundwater, surface water, wastewater, and even drinking water supplies. This article reviews the origin and environmental pathways of PFAS contamination, with a particular focus on aquatic systems. It also examines the principal analytical techniques currently used for PFAS detection and quantification in water matrices, including LC-MS/MS and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Furthermore, the study critically analyzes conventional and advanced PFAS … Continue reading →

Critical Minerals and the Water–Environment Nexus: Challenges and Pathways for Sustainable Extraction

By | | ,
Leave a comment

The rapid acceleration of the global energy transition has placed critical minerals at the center of economic, technological, and geopolitical transformations. Minerals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, rare earth elements, and copper are indispensable for renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, digital infrastructure, and energy storage technologies. International institutions including the International Energy Agency (IEA), the United Nations (UN), and the European Union (EU) increasingly describe these resources as the backbone of decarbonization pathways [1]. However, the expansion of critical mineral extraction raises profound environmental concerns, particularly regarding water consumption, water pollution, ecosystem degradation, and social inequalities. While these materials are … Continue reading →

How to Make Sustainable Commercial Choices and Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

The importance of reducing a company’s carbon footprint has increased as environmental sustainability has gained popularity. The total emissions, expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) units, produced by a company’s operations, directly and indirectly, are referred to as the carbon footprint. It has been demonstrated that carbon pricing does not impede economic growth but instead sends a loud and clear message to firms, industries, and consumers to switch to greener energy sources. This conclusion is based on data from 70 national and subnational governments that have previously implemented carbon pricing.
