The Research on Mineralization of Desalinated Water by Dissolving Ore for Entering into Municipal Water Supply Network

Abstract:

Desalination is the main method to solve the lack of freshwater resources in coastal areas. However, the desalinated water needs further treatment to have good chemical stability and meet the drinking water health standards before transporting by municipal pipe network. Considering desalinated seawater in Beijiang Power Plant and current situation of municipal pipe network, the desalinated water was mineralized by dissolving limestone with CO₂ in this work. The process results in an enrichment of the water with calcium ions and carbonate. The effect of the limestone particle size, pH, the packed bed height and desalinated water flow rate on result water was investigated, which could offer a principle for the utilization of desalinated.
