Deep Ocean Water is formed within restricted area including polar sea (high latitude) by cooling of surface seawater and globally circulated in the state of insolation with surface seawater. Although not as obvious as estuaries mixing, Brine groundwater is mixture of recirculated seawater and groundwater. Seawater having high osmotic pressure infiltrate into unconfined aquifer where is connected to the sea. The ions dissolved in seawater are present in constant proportions to each other and to the total salt content of seawater. However deviation in ion proportions have been observed in some brine groundwater. Some causes of these exception to the Rule of constant proportions are due to many chemical reactions between periphery soil and groundwater. While Deep Ocean Water (DOW) have a large quantity of functional trace metals and biological affinity relative to brine groundwater, DOW have relatively small amount of harmful bacteria and artificial pollutants.

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.

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.

해양심층수는 겨울철 표층수의 냉각으로 인하여 동해 고위도 지역인 극 지역에서 형성된 후 점차로 표층수와 혼합이 차단된 상태로 순환한다. 하구역 혼합만큼 뚜렷하지는 않지만, 지하염수는 순환해수와 지하수의 혼합물기다 높은 삼투압을 가지고 있는 해수는 바다와 연결된 대수층으로 스며들어 지하수와 혼합하게 된다. 해양심층수와 지하염수의 자원특성을 파악하기 위하여 이들 수괴의 기원과 성분 및 각 수자원에 대한 수질 특성과 자원 안정성을 조사하였다. 해수 중 산소와 수소 동위원소 비는 0‰, 인 반면, 지하염수는 지표수의 순환선(meteoric water line) 위에 있거나, 벗어나는 경우도 있다. 이러한 현상은 두 수괴가 다른 기원을 가지고 있다는 것을 의미한다. 해수에 용존 된 주성분 이온(Na, Ca, Mg, K) 들은 각각 일정한 성분비를 이루고 있다. 그러나 지하염수에서 이들 주성분 원소들의 일정성분비의 법칙이 성립하지 않는 것이 관측되었다. 그 이유는 주변 토양과 지하수 사이의 화학적 반응에 기인한다. 또한 해양심층수는 지하염수에 비하여 기능성 미량 원소들이 풍부하고 생물학적 친하력이 높은 반면, 유해한 박테리아와 인공 오염물이 적은 특성을 가지고 있으며, 자원적인 측면에서도 안정성을 가지고 있다.

본 연구는 해수담수화 부산물인 고염해수에 대한 어류의 단기적인 영향을 평가하기 위하여 해양생태독성평가용 표준시험종인 송사리(Oryzias latipes)를 이용하여 급성독성평가 및 행동패턴의 변화를 관찰하였다. 30.0 psu 해수에 순치된 송사리를 7일 동안 고염수에 노출하여 급성독성평가를 수행한 결과, 40.0~80.0 psu에 노출된 송사리의 사망률은 농도-반응의 선형관계가 뚜렷하였다. 반면 40.0 psu 이하의 염분에서는 송사리의 독성반응이 관찰되지 않았으나 50.0 psu 보다 높은 농도에서는 뚜렷한 독성 반응이 나타났다(7-day $LC_{50}$=514 psu). 송사리의 행동 변화 분석은 카메라를 통해 투시된 실시간 배정 영상을 추출하여 현재의 프레임과 차영상을 추출하는 기법을 이용하였다. 고염수 노출에 따른 송사리의 행동변화를 분석한 결과, 40.0 psu와 50.0 psu에 노출되고, 각각 3.1시간과 4.6시간 동안 초기 염분 스트레스를 받은 후에는 안정된 활동패턴을 보였다. 그러나 60.0 psu 보다 높은 농도에 노출된 송사리의 활동량은 염분노출 초기에 급격히 증가하였으며, 50% 가량 사망하였다. 70.0 psu 보다 높은 농도에서 실험생물의 활동량은 노출 후 급격히 증가하였으며, 행동패턴은 심각하게 교란되었고, 12시간 이내에 모든 개체가 사망하였다. 본 연구 결과, 고염해수에 대한 급성독성평가와 행동변화 모니터링 결과는 유의한 연관성이 나타났으며, 따라서 해수담수화에 따른 고염해수의 해양배출은 확산후 최종농도가 50.0 psu 이하로 배출될 수 있도록 조절하여야한다. 또한 카메라 관찰을 통한 영상 분석 기법은 시험생물의 행동변화에 따른 영향을 실시간으로 모니터링할 수 있으므로 조기 경보시스템으로 활용 가지가 높은 것으로 판단된다.

The reliability of innovative membrane contactors technology (i.e. Gas/Liquid Membrane Contactors, Membrane Distillation/Crystallization) is today increasing for seawater desalination processes, where traditional pressure-driven membrane separation units are routinely operated. Furthermore, conventional membrane operations can be integrated with membrane contactors in order to promote possible improvements in process efficiency, operational stability, environmental impact, water quality and cost. Seawater is the most abundant aqueous solution on the earth: the amount of dissolved salts covers about 3% of its composition, and six elements (Na, Mg, Ca, K, Cl, S) account for more than 90% of ionic species. Recent investigations on Membrane Distillation-Crystallization have shown the possibility to achieve significant overall water recovery factors, to limit the brine disposal problem, and to recover valuable salts (i.e. calcium sulphate, sodium chloride, magnesium sulphate) by combining this technology with conventional RO trains. In this work, the kinetics of $CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O,\;NaCl\;and\;MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ crystallization is experimentally investigated in order to improve the design of the membrane-based crystallization unit.

We fabricated a printed Ag:CNT film as a liquid sensor for the detection of HNS (hazardous and noxious substances) in seawater. The paste required for printing was prepared using Ag powder, MWCNTs (multi-walled carbon nanotubes), and an organic binder. The heat treatment process for binder removal was optimized. In order to confirm that the sensor was operational, the resistance change characteristics in brine (3.5%) and methanol (99.8%) were assessed at $20^{\circ}C$. EDL (electrical double layer) formation and redox reactivity were confirmed as the most important reactions affect each electrical property of sensor in brine and methanol. From these results, it was determined that printed Ag:CNT film can be applied as a sensor to detect HNS in seawater.

The purpose of this study was to analyze whether seawater has positive effects on appearance characteristics, such as CIE a^*, and to determine the gas composition concentration that is suitable for maintaining it. Pork hind meat was cured with four types of curing agent for 5 d at 4℃. The different curing agents comprised the control salt, control nitrite pickling salt (CN), treatment brine, and treatment bittern (BT). The cured hams were cooked at 65℃ for 4 h and packaged at O₂:N₂ gas ratios of 7:3, 8:2, and 9:1 for 3 wk. The physicochemical properties were assessed immediately after heating the sample, and the color properties were measured after a 3 wk storage period. Based on the correlation results of the physicochemical properties, BT had a higher curing and cooking yield than the other treatments, owing to its high salinity. Results of color properties for BT (7:3) and CN (8:2) showed similar color CIE L^*, CIE a^* chroma, and hue angle values. Therefore, BT can be said to be a sous-vide curing agent suitable for preserving the color of ham, and a high nitrogen concentration of 30% helps to maintain the appearance of seawater sous-vide ham.

The ocean contains around eighty elements of the periodic table and uranium is also one among them, with a uniform concentration of 3.3 ppb and a relative abundance factor of 23. With a large coastline, India has a large stake in exploiting the 4 billion tonnes of uranium locked in seawater. The development of radiation grafting techniques, which are useful in incorporating the required functional groups, has led to more efficient adsorbent preparations in various geometrical configurations. Separation based on a polymeric adsorbent is becoming an increasingly popular technique for the extraction of trace heavy metals from seawater. Radiation grafting has provided definite advantages over chemical grafting. Studies related to thermally bonded non woven porous polypropylene fiber sheet substrate characterization and parameters to incorporate specific groups such as acrylonitrile (AN) into polymer back bones have been investigated. The grafted polyacrylonitrile chains were chemically modified to convert acrylonitrile group into an amidoxime group, a chelating group responsible for heavy metal uptake from seawater/brine. The present work has been undertaken to concentrate heavy metal ions from lean solutions from constant potential sources only. A scheme was designed and developed for investigation of the recovery of heavy metal ions such as uranium and vanadium from seawater.
