Comment on Student project consumes 17% of energy of traditional desalination plants
DrM@feddit.de 10 months agoI don’t know if that works with brine. But what I know is that many regions fill old mines with salt and heat it up with excess energy from solar in the summer to use as general energy storage and for heat in the winter. That might be a good way to repurpose the brine

I said this in another comment- I’d be very worried it would get into the water table. That brine is not just salt. It’s also full of toxins. But maybe there are good solutions that I don’t know about.

Yeah it was just something I came up with. We can only hope that someone will find a good solution on what to do with it
