Overview
As the demand for clean water continues to increase in response to industrialisation, population growth, and climatic variation, desalination has become an integral part of the current water supply portfolio. The economic, social and environmental benefits of desalination are significant. Future desalination plants will need to meet not only the direct economic criteria related to construction, operation and management but also a range of environmental requirements.This special issue aims to explore the interaction between desalination and the environment. Any topics within the scope of the journal will be considered, which represent the state-of-the-art development in quantifying and mitigating the impact of desalination on the environment and novel desalination applications for environmental remediation. Papers addressing the following topics with discussion on the relationship to environment are especially welcome:
Location for desalination plant, water intake and related infrastructureEcological impact of brine disposal
Zero liquid discharge
Brine mining
Direct and indirect release of air and water pollutants by desalination
Novel desalination applications for environmental remediation
Chemical consumption and environmental discharge by desalination
Desalination to mitigate the impact of climate change
