SOLAR EVAPORATION PONDS

Solar evaporation ponds are key for the production of several chemicals, such as potassium and lithium from brines.

Modeling of these systems encompass detailed mass and energy balances and sophisticated electrolyte solutions property estimation. Also, because these processes depend on environmental conditions, they are inherently time-dependent.

Comprehensive mathematical models for solar evaporation ponds have been used to design, operate, and analyze the sensitivity of these processes.
