While desalination of seawater is important for meeting the water demand, the technology produces large volumes of reject brine and CO2, causing environmental pollution. Solvay process (based on ammonia, NH3) and modified Solvay process (based on calcium oxide, CaO) try to manage these wastes. However, more attention is needed to overcome different limitations of these processes such as, alkaline solubility, operating temperature, maintaining high pH value, and low sodium (Na+) removal efficiency, which does not exceed 35%. The aim of this work is to introduce an alternative alkaline, namely potassium hydroxide (KOH) and investigate …
