Development of new methods of utilization of softening process brines and demineralization of sea water at thermal power plants

The object of investigation is development of new techniques of wasteless processing of discharge brines resulting from processes of softening and freshening of sea water to produce homogeneous chemical products. The researchers have derived equations for determining the degree of desulfatization, deduced the equation of regression for designing the process of sedimentation of gypsum suspension, magnesium hydroxide syspension and admixture thereof, disclosed the empirical formulae for calculating specific resistance offered by precipitates and developed new techniques for the utilization of brines from water-desalinating plants. The obtained investigation results relating to precipitation and filtration of magnesium hydroxide sediments, gypsum precipitate and admixture thereof are advised to be employed in practical calculations and selection of appropriate equipmentAvailable from VNTIC / VNTIC - Scientific & Technical Information Centre of RussiaSIGLERURussian Federatio
