The brine and seawater are important and largely untapped sources of critical trace metals and elements. The coupling of selective recovery of trace metals from seawater/brine with desalination plants gives an added advantage of energy credits to desalination plants and as well as reduce the cost of desalinated water. In this paper, status review on recovery of important trace metals and other alkali metals from seawater is presented. The potential of Indian desalination plants for recovery of trace metals, based on recovery ratio of 0.35 is also highlighted. Studies carried out by the process based on adsorption using Radiation Induced Grafted (RIG) polymeric adsorbents and then fractional elutions are presented. The fouling factors due to bio fouling and dirt fouling have been estimated for various locations of interest through field trails. The pay loader in the form of compact Contactor Assembly with minimum pressure drop, for loading specially designed radiation grafted sorbent in leaflet form has been briefed, as required for plant scale facility. The typical conceptual process design details of farm assembly of project CRUDE are described.

The study experimented to understand the ice making characteristics on to kinds of round tube type and oval tube type using ice maker. The experiment were carried out under various conditions, that used brine temperature $-10{\sim}-6^{\circ}C$, brine flow rate $1.0{\sim}1.8\;m/s$ and inlet water temperature $6{\sim}-12^{\circ}C$ etc. Mass of ice per making area increased according to the decrease of the brine temperature and inlet water temperature, but that was increased according to the increase of the brine flow rate.

Acrylonitrile을 그라프트시킨 아미드옥심화 polypropylene 섬유이온교환체(AOPP-g-AN)의 충전 bed 높이를 변화시켜 간수 중 우라늄 이온 흡착 특성 및 흡착 공정 특성을 관찰하였다. 아미드옥심형 섬유이온교환체의 팽윤율은 그라프트율 100%, 물과 과산화수소 용매에 대하여 각각 8.54, 8.87 g/g을 나타내었다. 이온교환용량은 그라프트율이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며, 그라프트율 100%에서 3.99 meq/g으로 최대를 나타내었다. 회분식 흡착에서 우라늄 흡착은 10분 이내에 초기 흡착 평형에 도달하며, 흡착 속도는 9.50 mg/min으로 나타났다. 최종 흡착 용량은 3.95 meq/g이었으며, pH에 따른 흡착 특성 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 충전비에 따른 연속식 흡착시 흡착 용량은 L/D=1에서 3.92 meq/g으로 최대를 나타내었으며, L/D<2에서 편류 및 불균일 흡착에 의한 2단계 과정으로 파과가 나타남을 확인하였다. 실제 간수에 대한 우라늄 흡착 실험 결과, 흡착 용량 및 파과시간은 각각 3.63 meq/g, 26 min으로 모의용액과 비교 시 주목할만한 흡착능 저하는 관찰되지 않았다.

A numerical analysis of solid-liquid phase change was performed on a heat transfer module which consisted of circulating water path (BRINE), heat transfer plate (HTP) and phase change material (PCM) layers, such as high temperature PCM (HPCM, $78{\sim}79^{\circ}C$) and low temperature PCM (LPCM, $28{\sim}29^{\circ}C$). There were five arrangements, consisting of BRINE, HTP, LPCM and HPCM layers in the heat transfer module. The time and heat transfer rate for melting/solidification was compared to their arrangements, against each other. As results, the numerical time without convection was longer than the experimental one for melting/solidification. Moreover, the melting/solidification with the BRINE I-LPCM-BRINE II-HPCM arrangement was faster(10 hours) than the others; HPCM-BRINE-LPCM, BRINE I-HPCM-LPCM-BRINE II one.

As a part of chemical study on the bioactive metabolites from marine organisms, we have investigated cytotoxicity using brine shrimp bioassay for each solvent fractions of the marine algae(12 species), marine sponges(3 species), coelenterates(2 species), echinoderms(4 species), marine molluscs(17 species), and ascidians(2 species), respectively. As the results, chloroform extract of Stichopus japonicus (LC$_{50}$ : 274 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), ethyl acetate extract of Anthocidaris crassispina(LC$_{50}$ : 121 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), n-butanol extract of Unda), ia Pinnatifida (LC$_{50}$ : 178 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), and water extract of Thais clavigera (LC$_{50}$ : 61 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) displayed the most significant cytotoxic activity against brine shrimp. Among the marine organisms tested, echinoderms and marine molluscs were thought to be the most active Phylums on screening of new bioactive compounds.

Many pumping station of Maehang-ri of Hwasung city are established for irrigation water supply, and brine permeation phenomenon is happening thereby. Proposed optimum pumping fluid amount conclusion model that use tidal efficiency and Ghyben-Hertzberg theory so that brine does not permeate in pumping station hereupon and applied this in study area.

김치 공장에서 배추 절임염수의 반복사용으로 인해 발생하는 고농도 폐염수에 의한 환경오염을 방지하고 이를 공업용수로 재활용하는 방법을 모색하고자 모래와 활성탄을 여과장치에 활용하는 가능성을 조사하였다. 배추를 5회 반복 절임수 사용 방식으로 절임하면서 발생하는 폐염수의 특성을 염도, 가용성 고형물, pH, 혼탁도, COD 및 미생물 총균수에 대해 측정하였다. 그리고 3회 및 5회 절임에 사용한 폐염수를 모래(1차여과)와 활성탄(2차여과)에 통과시켜 여과한 다음, 여과 전후의 폐염수특성을 측정하여 폐염수에 대한 여과효과를 조사하였다. 그 결과 염도, 가용성 고형물, 혼탁도 및 COD는 절임을 반복함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으나, 여과처리에 의해 그 수치들이 현저하게 낮아지는 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 절임이 반복될수록 염수의 pH는 낮아져서 산성을 띠다가, 모래관 처리에 의해 중성의 pH 값을 가지게 되었고, 활성탄 통과 후에는 약알칼리성의 pH 값으로 증가하였다. 미생물 수 측정 결과는, 절임 반복에 의해 미생물 번식이 급격히 증가하였다가 여과처리에 의해 초기염수 수준으로 낮아졌으며, 활성탄에 의한 흡착효과도 뚜렷하게 관찰되었다.

Meat jerky is a type of meat snack with a long shelf life, light weight, and unique sensory properties. However, meat jerky requires a long manufacturing time, resulting in high energy consumption. In this study, beef jerky was prepared by injecting different concentrations of brine at different hot-air drying times (0-800 min). When the brine injection levels were increased to 30%, the drying characteristics of beef jerky, such as drying time and effective moisture diffusivity, were significantly improved owing to the relatively high water content and the formation of porous structures. The physicochemical properties (e.g. meat color, porosity, shear force, and volatile basic nitrogen) of the beef jerky injected with 30% brine were improved owing to the shortened drying time. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the beef jerky structure became porous and irregular during the brine injection process. Our novel processing technique for manufacturing beef jerky leads to improved quality characteristics and shortened drying times.

Seawater desalination is a technology through which salt and other constituents are removed from seawater to produce fresh water. While a significant amount of fresh water is produced, the desalination process is limited by the generation of concentrated brine with a higher salinity than seawater; this imposes environmental and economic problems. In this study, characteristics of seawater from three different locations in South Korea were analyzed to evaluate the feasibility of crystallization to seawater desalination. Organic and inorganic substances participating in crystal formation during concentration were identified. Then, prediction and economic feasibility analysis were conducted on the actual water flux and obtainable salt resources (i.e. Na2SO4) using membrane distillation and energy-saving crystallizer based on multi-stage flash (MSF-Cr). The seawater showed a rather low salinity (29.9~34.4 g/L) and different composition ratios depending on the location. At high concentrations, it was possible to observe the participation of dissolved organic matter and various ionic substances in crystalization. When crystallized, materials capable of forming various crystals are expected. However, it seems that different salt concentrations should be considered for each location. When the model developed using the Aspen Plus modular was applied in Korean seawater conditions, relatively high economic feasibility was confirmed in the MSF-Cr. The results of this study will help solve the environmental and economic problems of concentrated brine from seawater desalination.

Experiments have carried out to investigate the effects of parameters, such as mass ratio of R141b-to-water, stirrer speed, brine inlet temperature, brine flowrate, and additives, on the performance of the cool storage system using R141b clathrate. The cool storage system in this experiment was composed of storage tank, refrigerator, and heater. The results show that the mass ratio of R141b-to-water, 1 : 3~1 : 3.5 gives the best performance and the stirring speed has optimum point as 600rpm. At this speed impeller Reynolds number is $1.01{\times}10^5$. The lower the inlet brine temperature and the highter the brine flowrate, the better performance. The addition of metal powder turned out to reduce the degree of supercooling. The supercooling reduction was proportional to the amount of the metal power. However when metal powder was added more than 0.1 wt%, there was no additional supercooling reduction. The surfactants shortened the time consumed for cool storage to the half of no surfactant added case.
