Previous studies have investigated the overall performance of modified Solvay process based on a new alkaline compound, namely, KOH. Preliminary results confirmed its high reactivity and effectiveness in capturing CO2 managing reject brine. In this study, parametric sensitivity analysis has been carried out to optimize operating conditions thereby maximize capture ions removal from high-salinity brines. Response surface methodology (RSM) using central composite design (CCD) approach was...

The traditional Solvay process and other modifications that are based on different types of alkaline material waste promise to be effective in the reduction reject brine salinity capture CO2. These processes, however, require low temperatures (10–20 °C) increase solubility CO2 enhance precipitation metallic salts, while is usually discharged from desalination plants at relatively high (40–55 °C). A modified potassium hydroxide (KOH) has emerged as a promising technique for simultaneously...
