ABSTRACT

This chapter is devoted to the presentation of the method proposed by the author for the recovery of magnesium from brines and seawater (PSS). It is based on physical separation by subjecting a dynamic flow of brine across an inclined evaporator. Preferential separation of the salts takes place across the channels. The very final salt to precipitate at the end is magnesium chloride. It is the most soluble salt; therefore, it stays to the end. Experimental results are given. The mathematical model for the evaporation of seawater along the PSS is presented.
