Abstract
This invention relates to new use of marine cyanobacteria and deposited with ATCC having accession numbers ATCC PTA-4602 and 4603 for the removal of calcium ions from sea-brine and sub-soil brine having a density range 10 to 25.5° Be′, by culturing the cyanobacteria, inoculating the cyanobacteria culture to raw brine of 10 to 25.5° Be′, filtering the resultant mixture to obtain a brine having less calcium, and to separate the cyanobacteria which can be reused if desired.
