In this context, seawater represents an alternative, sustainable source.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"657\" data-end=\"700\"><strong>Three technologies for selective extraction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"702\" data-end=\"853\">The project will develop and validate, at pilot scale, several advanced technologies to recover these elements from reverse-osmosis desalination brine:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"855\" data-end=\"1062\">\n<li data-start=\"855\" data-end=\"955\">\n<p data-start=\"857\" data-end=\"955\"><strong data-start=\"857\" data-end=\"877\">Liquid membranes<\/strong>, based on incorporating ionic liquids and extractants into a polymer matrix<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"956\" data-end=\"1023\">\n<p data-start=\"958\" data-end=\"1023\"><strong data-start=\"958\" data-end=\"982\">Nanofiber adsorbents<\/strong>, with embedded selective nanoparticles<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1024\" data-end=\"1062\">\n<p data-start=\"1026\" data-end=\"1062\"><strong data-start=\"1026\" data-end=\"1062\">Chemical precipitation processes<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1064\" data-end=\"1222\">Expected efficiencies are above 90% for monovalent ions (lithium, rubidium, boron); over 65% for calcium; above 80% for magnesium; and over 70% for potassium.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1224\" data-end=\"1263\"><strong>Economic viability and circular economy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1265\" data-end=\"1470\">In a mid-size reverse-osmosis desalination plant producing 200,000 m\u00b3\/day, extracting these elements could generate significant additional revenue while moving desalination toward a circular-economy model.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1472\" data-end=\"1784\">ACCIONA will design, build, and commission a pilot plant that integrates the processes developed for the selective extraction of both minor elements (such as lithium, rubidium, or boron) and high-value major elements (such as calcium or magnesium). This facility will be located at a seawater desalination plant.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1786\" data-end=\"2027\">The MINERALS project, with a budget of around \u20ac600,000, is coordinated by ACCIONA and includes participation from the LEITAT Technology Center.
