3 more elements
A process for demineralization of brine, wherein said process comprises:
- obtaining flue gas from a flue gas source,
- passing said flue gas through a flue gas cooler such that the temperature of said flue gas after exiting said flue gas cooler is lower than the temperature of said flue gas before entering said flue gas cooler,
- passing the lower temperature flue gas to a spray dryer,
- mixing the lower temperature flue gas with heated brine, and
- spraying said mixture in a drying chamber.
