| 摘要 |
<p>Desalination methods that include carbonate compound precipitation are pr ovided. In certain embodiments, feed water is subjected to carbonate compoun d precipitation conditions prior to desalination. In certain embodiments, de salination waste brine is subjected to carbonate compound precipitation cond itions. In yet other embodiments, both feed water and waste brine are subjec ted to carbonate compound precipitation conditions. Aspects of embodiments o f the invention include carbone dioxide sequestration. Embodiments of the in vention further employ a precipitate product of the carbonate compound preci pitation conditions as a building material, e.g., a cement. Also provided ar e systems configured for use in methods of the invention.</p> |
