Abstract
A zero liquid brine desalination and crystallization system includes a humidification dehumidification (HDH) desalination system and includes a crystallization system. The HDH system includes a humidifier configured to humidify a carrier gas using saline water, and a dehumidifier configured to dehumidify the carrier gas to obtain desalinated water. The crystallization system is configured to receive the saline water from the HDH desalination system and includes an evaporation chamber configured to produce salt crystals and water vapor from the saline water, and a condenser configured to condense the water vapor. Herein, the HDH desalination system and the crystallization system are connected at the condenser for heat exchange between the water vapor and at least one selected from the group consisting of the saline water and the carrier gas.
