"Hypersaline brine" is industrial waste-water with salt levels that exceed even that of seawater. It's a big, expensive, destructive problem which a team of engineers at Columbia University in New ...

Seemingly miraculous innovations have made it possible to slake the ever-growing thirsts of our industrial society. Need more energy? Frack it from deep-bedded rocks! Fresh water? Desalinate ocean ...

The study delves into hypersaline lakes in Xinjiang, China, exploring the genetic and metabolic diversity of microbial communities termed "microbial dark matters". Hypersaline lake ecosystems, ...

If only humans could drink seawater without dying, we wouldn’t find ourselves floundering in a water crisis. To not die, first you have to boil saltwater and collect the pure vapor, or get yourself a ...

Researchers report that they have developed a radically different desalination approach--''temperature swing solvent extraction (TSSE)''--for hypersaline brines. Their study demonstrates that TSSE can ...

The Dead Sea is a confluence of extraordinary conditions: the lowest point on the earth’s surface, with one of the world’s highest salinities. The high concentration of salt gives it a correspondingly ...

Desalination systems play an important role in improving access to fresh water, but some types of the natural resource are too salty for current solutions to handle. Such hypersaline water can have ...

A WA gold miner that spilled hypersaline water onto farmland — the latest in a series of incidents involving mining companies over the past five years — is being investigated. Minjar Gold detected the ...

Western Australia's Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) is investigating the alleged discharge of hypersaline water into native vegetation by a fledgling gold miner in the state's ...
