This paper presents an investigation of using ETV for three technologies, being developed within the EU Zero Brine research and innovation project. The technologies were designed to recover high quality water, salts and minerals from brine solutions. The technologies in focus are the forward feed MED evaporator, the Multi Feed – Plug Flow Reactor Crystalliser and Eutectic Freeze Crystallization. The study sought to understand the challenges of the ETV process, the readiness and eligibility of technologies, and possible preparations within the project lifetime. Challenges identified included: understanding what sufficient market readiness is, and achieving this within the duration of a project (also linked to funding allocation for the ETV process); and developing suitable performance claims, supported with sufficient levels of test data. A simple framework is presented to aid the integration of ETV into the development process. It promotes the use of life cycle assessment to understand the environmental added value of the technology and aid the development of performance claims.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23714,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Industry","volume":"28 ","pages":"Article 100176"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212371722000063/pdfft?md5=501365bbd657fa640d180c001dc006fa&pid=1-s2.0-S2212371722000063-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44213115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An example of such wastes are brines, flows of concentrated salts, produced in water treatment processes, which are now routinely discharged into receiving water bodies. Brines however can also be considered as flows of reusable materials which should be recovered, and the Zero Brine cooperation project aims to develop processes for that purpose. For a demineralized water production plant in the port of Rotterdam (the Netherlands), a closed water processing cycle was proposed to treat the large volume of spent Ion Exchange (IEX) regenerant brine which, apart from recovering demineralized water, is also intended to produce magnesium (Mg²⁺) and calcium (Ca²⁺) salts, with the highest purity possible, from the otherwise discharged brine. The process scheme includes nanofiltration (NF) for separating mono- and multivalent ions, followed by sequential chemical precipitation of Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ ions from the NF concentrate, and production of demineralized water by evaporation of the NF permeate. The concentrate of monovalent ions produced in the evaporator, essentially a concentrated sodium chloride solution, in its turn might be reused for IEX regeneration. Part of the supernatant of the sequential precipitation may be fed to the evaporator as well, but bleeding the other part of this supernatant is essential in order to maintain process stability, avoid accumulation of minor pollutants, and reduce scaling. In this study, various scenarios to operate the process were modeled, using PHREEQC and Excel. According to the simulation results, recovery of ≈97% of Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ is possible, the latter with a higher purity than the former. The main factors affecting the results are the concentration of carbonate present in the spent IEX regenerant, as well as characteristics of the NF membrane and the dosing of sodium hydroxide in the sequential precipitation steps. The results of the simulations were used for the design and operation of a pilot plant, comprising all mentioned process steps.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23714,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Industry","volume":"28 ","pages":"Article 100185"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221237172200018X/pdfft?md5=74fa6a975a392d200d34a21d84cd369e&pid=1-s2.0-S221237172200018X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45273697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, to ensure the optimum environmental design of water treatment and recovery systems, it is pertinent to apply life cycle assessment (LCA) at an early stage of development. Using LCA at an early developmental stage is known as prospective LCA and is particularly challenging due to the low data availability or quality. The aim of this study is to highlight the opportunities and challenges of using prospective LCA in the development of water treatment and recovery technologies. To do this we utilise two case studies from the EU Zero Brine project and apply LCA at two developmental stages. The treatment systems are specifically tailored for each case to treat the individual brine compositions and selectively recover its constituents. The first stage LCAs are based on laboratory experiments and engineering-based calculations, whilst the second stage assessments use improved input data from pilot plants and simulation. The paper compares the analyses of both stages, identifies key differences and discusses these disparities. In addition, it provides insights on the challenges of applying LCA for the design and development of wastewater treatment and recovery systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23714,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Industry","volume":"28 ","pages":"Article 100184"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212371722000178/pdfft?md5=5046991eb9518add0c2ef3251133d347&pid=1-s2.0-S2212371722000178-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49532429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we examine a potential methodology for disinfecting water through the combined effect of hot expanding gases and shock waves from underwater explosions. Water pathogens located within the proximity of the explosive charge will be exposed to two different sterilisation conditions: firstly, the high-pressure shock wave moving within the fluid, and secondly, the expanding hot N₂, O_2, and CO₂ bubbles that are products of the explosion. To simulate the first case, we used a flyer-plate technique to understand the lower threshold for inactivation. We did this with a novel capsule design in a single-stage light gas-gun and observed 0.813 Logs of <em>E.coli</em> inactivation after subjecting an entire bacterial broth to a minimum pressure of 3.53 GPa thereby indicating a lower threshold for shock pressure-induced inactivation. For the second case, we show that hot gas bubbles from different explosive gaseous products at 150°C in a bubble column established the minimum gas temperature thresholds required to successfully inactivate <em>E.coli</em>. This work shows that any benefit of using explosives to sterilise water will principally come from the release of hot gaseous bubbles rather than the effect of the shock.
