Abstract:
In a complex system including a desalination plant and a reverse electrodialysis equipment, a concentrated sea water discharged from the desalination plant having a salt concentration of about 50 to 75 g/L or about 50 to 60 g/L is provided as a high-concentration salt solution of the reverse electrodialysis equipment while low salinity water having a salt concentration of about 0.01 to 2 g/L, most preferably about 0.01 to 1 g/L, is provided as a low-concentration salt solution of the reverse electrodialysis equipment. Thereby, a recycling degree of a concentrated sea water may be enhanced as well as a power density produced by the complex system is significantly improved.
