Abstract:
The current study investigated application of natural adsorbents in brine treatment. Brines are hypersaline waters generated in power stations and mining industries rich in Mg2+, K+, Ca2+, Na+, SO4 2- , Cl- and traces of heavy metals, thus there is a need for these brines to be treated to recover potable water and remove problematic elements. Natural adsorbents have been successfully used in waste water treatment because of their high surface area and high adsorptive properties when they are conditioned with acid or base. The investigation of pH showed that natural adsorbents did not perform w

It is evident that the sea ice cycle, from its formation to its melt, is governed by a complex interaction of the ocean, atmosphere and surrounding continents. Once sea water begins to freeze, physical, biological and chemical processes have implications on the evolution of the sea ice morphology [38]. The distinguishing factor between fresh and sea water ice is brine inclusions that get trapped within the ice pores during freezing. Salt inclusions within frozen ice influence the salinity as well as the physical properties of the sea ice [23]. These brine inclusions form part of a dynamic proc

They have been extensively studied due to their high monetary value as food for larval fish in aquaculture and their unique reproductive strategies.

Abstract:
The growth of fossil fuel production in North Dakota has resulted in numerous releases of brine. Brine releases cause vegetation mortality as well as the deterioration of soil structural and edaphic properties. Little research to date has been dedicated to the germination response of plant species grown in North Dakota to brine-induced salinity. Through the exposure of plant seeds to increasing levels of brine and NaCl-induced salinity, it was determined that the graminoid species Elymus hoffmannii (AC Saltlander) and Pascopyrum smithii (Western Wheatgrass) exhibited the greatest germination a

Abstract:
Characteristic features of the wintertime Arctic Ocean are narrow and elongated fractures in the sea ice cover, up to hundreds of kilometers long and up to tens of kilometers wide, called leads. Leads expose the ocean to the cold atmosphere, establishing air-sea heat fluxes which freeze the oceanic surface. During new sea ice formation, dense and salt-enriched plumes of brine are rejected into the oceanic mixed-layer. Due to brine rejection, lateral density gradients appear at sea ice edges, creating fronts. Fronts store potential energy and are subjected to gravitational overturning. The effe

"Sparkplug" Sanders began harvesting brine shrimp from Utah's Great Salt Lake. Sanders built up a small business selling their eggs, called "cysts, to aquarium stores across the country. During the 80s, cysts were found to be an effective food source for aquaculture and a multimillion-dollar commercial harvesting industry quickly emer
