TL;DR: LiAl-LDHs play a critical function in selectively capturing lithium ions from brines with a high Na/Li ratio, which is useful for the extraction of lithium ion from the abundant salt lake brine resources in China as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed molecular dynamics simulations in the presence of different ions in brine solutions in the oil reservoirs to obtain deeper insights at atomic level into the understanding the characteristics of the calcite-water interface, and found that the appearance of ions at calcite/brine interface is more effective in wettability alteration for low saline brines such as seawater than high saline ones like formation water validating the applicability of low saline water injection method to improve oil recovery efficiency.

TL;DR: In this paper, a self-rotating solar evaporator was proposed to achieve ultra-high salt tolerance (300 g L−1) and energy efficiency (around 90%) simultaneously by periodic self-regeneration.
Abstract: Benefiting from wide solar energy access and high energy conversion efficiency, solar-driven interfacial water evaporation has shown great potential in critical separation processes such as desalination and waste brine treatment. However, salt accumulation on the evaporation surfaces of these evaporators still greatly limits their continuous and efficient operation, particularly in hypersaline brine desalination. Current methods suffer from either low salt tolerance or low energy efficiency. Here we show a novel self-rotating solar evaporator, which achieves ultrahigh salt tolerance (300 g L−1) and energy efficiency (around 90%) simultaneously by periodic self-regeneration. This study advances the development of solar-thermal desalination technologies for practical applications.
