Brine (or briny water) is water with a high-concentration solution of salt (typically sodium chloride or See more

Brines are produced in multiple ways in nature. Modification of seawater via evaporation results in the concentration of salts in the residual fluid, a characteristic geologic deposit called an evaporite is formed as … See more

Brine is a common agent in food processing and cooking. Brining is used to preserve or season the food. Brining can be applied to vegetables, cheeses, fruit and some fish in a process known as pickling. Meat and fish are typically … See more

The desalination process consists of the separation of salts from an aqueous solution to obtain fresh water from a source of seawater or brackish water; and in turn, a discharge is generated, commonly called brine. … See more

Brine is a byproduct of many industrial processes, such as desalination, power plant cooling towers, produced water from oil and natural gas extraction, acid mine or acid rock drainage, reverse osmosis reject, chlor-alkali wastewater … See more

Brine consists of concentrated solution of Na and Cl ions. Sodium chloride per se does not exist in water: it is fully ionized. Other cations found in various brines include K , Mg , Ca , and Sr . The latter three are pr… See more
