Comprehensive Utilization of Mineralized Geothermal Waters as a Solution to Environmental Problem

Abstract

We prove the prospect of comprehensive utilization of mineralized thermal waters as a source of thermal energy and valuable chemicals. For the processing of geothermal waters to produce lithium carbonate, magnesite caustic powder and salt developed basic technological scheme of. Implementation of the proposed technology only in one self-emission geothermal field of Dagestan will contribute to import substitution in Russia lithium carbonate, edible salt and other chemicals, as well as solving the acute environmental problems on protection against pollution of the coastal resort area of the Caspian Sea.
