Rare Earth Mine Recycles Brine Stream for Acid and Caustic Production with SAMCO’s Innovative Multi-Stage Brine Conditioning System
1 PagesRemove heavy metals and hardness from complex hydrometallurgical brine stream for downstream electrochemical production operations : Reduce calcium to 20 ppb & Reduce magnesium to 20 ppb - SAMCO delivered a high capacity brine recovery system consisting of four integrated ion exchange (IX) circuits. To efficiently manage the brine stream’s complex contaminants, the solution utilized paired IX columns in lead-lag configuration for each of four brine processing stages, including primary softening, polishing softening, and heavy metals removal, along with a single IX column for TOC removal. SAMCO performed construction and installation of the prepackaged system to deliver a fast-track turnkey solution.
