Abstract
Hypersaline inorganic brines are generated from many global mining operations and the volume of these brines is increasing at an exponential rate. The environment and water resources in the vicinity of these mining operations are at a risk of being polluted as a result of this increase in brine volume. These are the key reasons why these brines need treatment...This thesis ultimately showed that EFC could be used to treat multi-component streams and that pure salts could be sequentially produced along with potable water.
