The University of Palermo hosted an online training focusing on the recovery of valuable products from spent brines produced in water softening plants.
This process, utilising the concept of the circular economy, enables the reduction of negative environmental impacts while also increasing economic potential.
During the workshop they present results obtained from the successful installation of a pilot-plant to recover Mg(OH)2 and Ca(OH)2 from the spent brine produced by the regeneration of ionic exchange resins at Evides Industriewater B.V., in Rotterdam (The Netherlands).
