TL;DR: In this article, a heat pump system including two (4, 6), at least similar units in fluid communication with each other, each unit having a housing (8, 8'), a first air/brine heat exchanger (12, 12'), a second brine/refrigerant heat exchinator (24, 24'), a brine inlet (10, 10') for applying brine onto at least one of the heat exchangers, a BRine reservoir (14, 14') and a pump (28) for circulating the brine from the reservoir to the
Abstract: There is provided a heat pump system including two (4, 6), at least similar units in fluid communication with each other, each unit having a housing (8, 8'), a first air/brine heat exchanger (12, 12'), a second brine/refrigerant heat exchanger (24, 24'), a brine inlet (10, 10') for applying brine onto at least one of the heat exchangers, a brine reservoir (14, 14') and a pump (28) for circulating the brine from the reservoir to the inlet. The first and second heat exchangers are in closed loop fluid communication with each other and have a compressor (44) for circulating a refrigerant therethrough in selected directions. A method for air-conditioning is also disclosed and claimed.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel membrane-based lithium recovery process was proposed by combining membrane distillation (MD) and nanofiltration (NF) to concentrate a brine solution containing lithium and to remove divalent ions.

TL;DR: In this article, three different model scenarios were considered, including models that account for diffusion-limited release of SO2 from the CO2 phase, and three possible SO2 reactions: hydrolysis, oxidation, or disproportionation.

TL;DR: Preliminary evidence suggests that the brine may be pure magmatic water and an active ore-forming solution, and metamorphism of relatively young rocks may also be occurring within accessible depths.
Abstract: A deep geothermal well in California has tapped a very saline brine extraordinarily high in heavy metals and other rare elements; copper and silver are precipitated during brine production. Preliminary evidence suggests that the brine may be pure magmatic water and an active ore-forming solution. Metamorphism of relatively young rocks may also be occurring within accessible depths.

TL;DR: In this article, an integrated process was developed to separate and simultaneously recover both magnesium and lithium from brines, which includes production of magnesium-aluminum-carbonate-layered double hydroxide materials (MgAlCO3-LDHs), removal of boron, CO32, and SO42, and precipitation of lithium carbonate.
