The present invention relates to a brine mining process. The process incorporates a forward osmosis step wherein at least a portion of at least one process stream is provided to at least one forward osmosis unit. The process thus allows for the use of multiple sources, and qualities, of water, which, in turn, can reduce the reliance on natural water sources. Longevity of the mining, and any downstream, process equipment may be enhanced. At least a portion of the production stream may also be fed to a downstream process, such as a chlor-alkali process. |
