Thermodynamic analysis of brine management methods: Zero-discharge desalination and salinity-gradient power production

Growing desalination capacity worldwide has made management of discharge brines an increasingly urgent environmental challenge. An important step in understanding how to choose between different brine management processes is to study the energetics of these processes. In this paper, we analyze two d...
