Abstract

In this paper, the concept of “green processing” will be applied, while explaining the role of sustainable development strategy with respect to the environmental issue. Two parameters are considered in the study by utilizing carbon dioxide and reject brine from desalination plants as raw materials to produce valuable chemical products and partially desalinated water.

Highlights

  • Sustainable development is defined as the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs [1,2,3] and ensure that our actions and decisions today do not inhibit the opportunities of future generations

  • Two parameters are considered in the study by utilizing carbon dioxide and reject brine from desalination plants as raw materials to produce valuable chemical products and partially desalinated water

  • Assuming that 50% of the intake sea water to be desalinated, about 15 million cubic meters/day of reject brine is produced

Summary

Introduction

Sustainable development is defined as the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs [1,2,3] and ensure that our actions and decisions today do not inhibit the opportunities of future generations. Sustainable development strategy deals in an integrated way, with economic, environmental and social issues [4,5,6]. When we speak today of going green, we generally refer to something broader than global warming. The term today includes efforts to conserve our natural resources, reduce our contributions to landfills, and reduce pollution generally [7,8,9]
