A novel bimetallic, bismuth/zero valent cupper (Bi/Cu⁰) catalyst was prepared which showed better physiological, structural, and catalytic properties than Cu⁰. The Bi/Cu⁰ effectively catalyzed persulfate (S₂O₈²⁻) and caused 85% degradation of CFA. The Bi coupling improved reusability and stability of Cu⁰. The use of alcoholic and anionic radical scavengers and analyzing change in [S₂O₈²⁻]₀ proved that Bi/Cu⁰/S₂O₈²⁻ yield hydroxyl radicals (^●OH) and sulfate radicals (SO₄^●–).

However, several negative environmental impacts are associated with the resulting brine, for which a range of treatment, recovery, and disposal technologies have been suggested in the academic literature. Despite this, the technological emphasis fails to explain the absence of sustainable practices in many countries or the roles and responsibilities of involved actors. There is also a lack of consistent conceptualizations that include regulatory and governance-related issues. In this review paper, we examined the brine management issue in desalination activities as a socio-technical issue that needs to be embedded more strongly within governance and regulatory frameworks. Case experiences and options related to command and control, economic regulation, market-based approaches and public support are discussed and linked with brine management practices. This review paper shows that baseline regulations such as standards, assessments, and thresholds are still emerging, but they need to be complemented by approaches focusing on desalination costs and environmental performance. Overall, cross-sectoral collaboration in designing local brine regulation options is important for solving the brine issue. There is a need to create a joint action arena between the desalination industry, the public sector, and actors involved in innovations related to brine management. Besides, public leadership, through providing incentives and investments, is highly valuable for sustainable brine management. This leadership should address the cost of brine treatment or the required infrastructural development.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23714,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Industry","volume":"30 ","pages":"Article 100225"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45858852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
