Degrémont was awarded in 2004 the construction of a 45,360 m 3 /d reverse osmosis desalination plant for Minera Escondida Limitada (MEL). This plant is part of its Sulphide Leach Project which aims at increasing its production. The new plant is located on the North Coast of Chile at MEL facilities of Coloso Port, 15 km south of Antofagasta city. The desalinated water produced on site will...
Ferritin has been shown as being the principal iron storage in the majority of living organisms. In marine species, ferritin is also involved in high-level accumulation of 210 Po. As part of our work on the investigation of these radionuclides' concentration in natural environment, ferritin was searched at the gene and protein level. Ferritin was purified from the visceral mass of...
Pre-treatment of seawater feeding reverse osmosis (RO) membranes is a key step in designing desalination plants. The pre-treatment process must be adapted to the seawater quality to be treated (wells, open intake, etc.), especially when treating surface seawater with highly variable quality. After a general presentation of different pretreatment options in relation to the seawater quality, this paper...
