Industrial processes like Reverse Osmosis plant generate liquid effluent containing a high amount of inorganic soluble salts. Conventionally, wastewater containing high soluble impurities (dissolved solids) cannot be disposed of to water bodies. Methodologies followed are
•
Conventional methods employ the high dissolved solids effluent is mixed with other dilute wastewater streams, before disposal, to meet disposal standards.
•
In many cases, the soluble impurities are precipitated by using chemicals.
