The present invention relates generally to the production of salt from brine and more particularly it relates to production of high purity salt without boiling.
One commercial source of common salt (sodium chloride) is wells containing underground brine pools in which water is substantially saturated with salt. Salt is generally obtained from these brine pools by pumping the brine from underground and evaporating water to yield solid, dry salt. While lower grade salts may be obtained by natural evaporation of brine held in ponds, high purity salt is commonly obtained by a process in which the brine is boiled to remove the water. A substantial cost of producing salt is incurred when the brine is boiled off, since the brine has a specific heat of 0.78 cal/g�C. and water has a specific heat of vaporization of 540 cal/g. Using these figures, the energy expended in producing salt from saturated brine at 22� C. can be calculated as follows: The heat required to raise the temperature of 100 g of the brine from 22� C. to 108.7� C. (the boiling point of brine) is 100 g�0.78 cal/g�C.�(108.7-22)�C.=6762 cal. The heat required to vaporize the water is 73.6 g (the amount of water in 100 g of saturated brine)�540 cal/g.=39744 cal. The total heat used to evaporate the water is 46,506 cal. and 26.4 g of salt is obtained. Thus 1761.6 cal. (46,506/26.4) are expended in producing each gram of salt.
It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a method of obtaining high purity salt from brine that requires the input of substantially less energy than is required to boil water from brine.
A water soluble organic solvent is added to brine that reduces the solubility of salt in the brine and precipitates salt therefrom, and the precipitated salt is filtered and dried. The organic solvent is distilled from the unsaturated brine for reuse, and the unsaturated brine is pumped back into the brine well where it is resaturated. Through the use of solvents having low boiling points, low specific heat and low heats of vaporization, the total energy expenditure is substantially less than the energy required in producing salt by boiling water from brine.
FIG. 1 is a graph representing the amount of salt precipitated from 100 g of saturated brine by the addition of various amounts of ethylamine;
FIG. 2 is a graph representing the theoretical energy expenditure using various amounts of ethylamine to precipitate salt from 100 g of brine; and
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a process of producing salt from brine by organic solvent precipitation in accordance with the practice of the invention.
In accordance with the present invention, it is found that the use of particular water soluble organic solvents to precipitate salt from brine results in substantial energy savings over the common process of boiling away the water from a brine solution. The water soluble organic solvent is selected which substantially reduces salt solubility in water and, therefore, when added to brine, effects precipitation of significant amounts of salt leaving an unsaturated brine. Precipitated salt is removed by filtration and dried. The unsaturated brine containing the organic solvent is distilled to remove the solvent which is continually recycled through the system. The unsaturated brine is returned to a brine pool where it becomes saturated.
Although the process described herein involves relatively few processing steps, the process is more involved than simple boiling of water from brine, and the energy savings must be sufficient to justify the cost of additional apparatus and solvent to operate the system. The efficiency of the system from an energy standpoint is largely dependent on the solution of solvent. The efficiency of the solvent as a salt precipitator and the energy needed to separate solvent from the unsaturated brine thereafter are two of the major factors in the efficiency of the solvent.
It is desirable to use a solvent which precipitates as much salt with as little addition of solvent as possible because energy must be later expended in recovering the solvent from the unsaturated brine. For purposes of this invention, it is necessary that the solvent should precipitate from a substantially saturated brine solution at least about 0.15 g and preferably more than about 0.25 g of salt for each gram of organic solvent added.
For purposes of this invention it is required that the solvent be soluble in the brine, in order that a substantial portion of the salt be removed from the brine. It is most convenient to use solvents that are infinitely soluble or very soluble in water; however, if the solvent precipitates sufficient amounts of salt in approaching the limits of its solubility in brine, it may also be used. Generally it is considered necessary that the solvent be at least about 20% soluble in water. Preferably the heat of vaporization of the solvent is below about 200 cal/g and more preferably below about 150 cal/g. Preferably the specific heat of the solvent is less than about 0.7 cal/g�C. and more preferably below about 0.4 cal/g�C.
The energy required to separate the solvent from the brine after precipitation depends, in most cases, on the boiling point of the solvent which determines the number of degrees to which the brine-solvent mixture must be heated for distillation purposes, the specific heat of the solvent, which determines the number of calories which must be input into the brine-solvent mixture to raise the brine-solvent mixture each degree, and the heat of vaporization of the solvent, which determines the number of additional calories needed to vaporize the solvent. The smaller the specific heat of the solvent and the smaller the heat of vaporization of the solvent, the fewer calories required in distillation. Generally low boiling point solvents are preferred because the less difference between the temperature of the brine from the pool and the boiling temperature of the solvent, the fewer calories required for boiling the solvent away from the brine. Furthermore, with higher boiling point solvents, less complete distillation is generally effected, the distilled solvent commonly containing significant amounts of water, and this water, with its high heat of vaporization, represents an energy penalty. Hence, the solvent should have a boiling point below about 65� C., and preferably below about 45� C.
On the other hand, substantial handling difficulties are encountered with solvents with boiling points around or below the well temperature of the brine. The substantial vapor pressures of these solvents may require pressurizing and/or cooling the brine-solvent mixture. However, depending on the other considerations, such low boiling point solvents may be used advantageously, particularly, in view of the low energy requirements for distilling such low boiling solvents. Although the boiling point of the solvent may be as as low as -10� C., it is most preferable that the solvent selected have a boiling point betweeen about 5� C. and about 10� C. higher than the temperature of the brine from the pool, the most preferred solvents, therefore depending in part on the brine temperature from the pool.
A further consideration in the selection of a solvent is its separability from water. It is highly preferred that the solvent is completely separable from the brine by distillation, that is, it is highly desirable that the solvent not form an azeotrope with water. If an azeotrope is formed, small but significant amounts of the solvent will remain in the brine solution and be lost to the brine well, and the distilled solvent will contain significant amounts of water thereby reducing its efficiency as a salt precipitator. Again, the water that is vaporized with the solvent during distillation represents an energy penalty which is desirably minimized. However, if the particular solvent is especially advantageous in other respects, i.e., from an energy standpoint, it may form an azeotrope with water in which the solvent comprises up to about 2 percent by weight of the azeotrope and still be useful in the process.
A rough determination of the energy required to obtain a gram of salt may be calculated as follows: The energy required to raise (or lower) the given amount of solvent to the distillation temperature is the product of (1) the number of degrees difference between the distillation temperature and the temperature of the brine from the pool, (2) the specific heat of the solvent, and (3) the weight of solvent used. The energy required to raise the temperature of the brine to the distillation temperature is the product of (1) the temperature difference, (2) the specific heat of the brine, and (3) the weight of the brine. The energy of boiling the solvent is the product of (1) the amount of solvent and (2) the heat of vaporization. The sum of the above products is the total energy expended in the system. The energy required to obtain a gram of salt is obtained by dividing the total energy expended by the grams of salt recovered.
In the case of precipitating brine having a well temperature of 22� C., the energy calculations for a system using 75 g of ethylamine to precipitate salt from 100 g of saturated brine work out as follows:
______________________________________Energy required to lower temperature ofethylamine from 22� to 16� C. (75 g) (22�-16�C.)(0.5 cal/g �C.) = 225 calEnergy required to lower temperature ofbrine from about 22� C. to 16� C. (100 g)(22�-16� C.) (0.78 cal/g �C.) = 468 calEnergy required to boil ethylamine(75 g) (145.7 cal/g) = 10928 calTOTAL ENERGY 11621 cal13.6 grams of salt were precipitated;11621 cal/13.6 g = 854.5 cal/g______________________________________
This represents an energy expenditure to obtain a gram of salt less than half the energy expenditure in boiling to dryness a saturated brine solution. In order to be energy efficient, the solvent must, of course, yield salt with the input of less energy than the boiling method, and because additional energy requirements, such as brine and solvent pumping, are not included in the above calculations, the calculated energy requirements should generally not exceed about 1300 cal per gram of salt precipitated.
For each solvent and brine at each temperature, an energy curve for obtaining a gram of salt with varying solvent proportions can be calculated. For most solvents, within a range at the low end of solvent-to-brine ratios, the amount of salt precipitated is generally proportional to the amount of solvent added, and it is generally most efficient to add as much solvent as possible within this range because it must be appreciated that the brine must be heated to the distillation temperature, and it is undesirable to heat more brine than is necessary. Upwards of this range, there comes a point of diminishing returns where incremental increases of solvent effect an increase in salt precipitation at smaller incremental rates. Beyond this point, the energy penalty paid in the solvent heat of vaporization quickly becomes predominant. Accordingly, for most solvents for precipitating brine of a particular well temperature, the energy curve has a "V" shape, peaking at a lowermost point around the upper end of the range where salt precipitation is generally proportional to the amount of solvent added. The cycle is most efficient when operated using solvent-to-brine ratios generally corresponding to the lowermost point of this V-shaped curve. This analysis will be modified somewhat by other energy considerations not taken into account by the above calculations. If the energy expended in pumping brine is considered, energy advantages accrue by extracting large amounts of salt from the brine as it passes through the apparatus. Thus in practice, the optimal percentage of solvent may well be somewhat above that calculated.
Illustrated in FIG. 1 is a graph showing on the abcissa the number of grams of ethylamine added to a 100 g of saturated 22� C. brine solution, and on the ordinate, the total grams of salt precipitated from the brine. It can be seen that up to about 10 g of ethylamine for 100 g of brine, the amount of salt precipitated is substantially linear. Above this range, the incremental increase in salt precipitation decreases.
Illustrated in FIG. 2 is a graph showing the calories required to obtain a gram of salt from the saturated brine solution using various proportions of ethylamine per weight of brine. It can be seen that the energy requirements are minimized when about 10 g of ethylamine are used to precipitate salt from 100 g of saturated brine.
The energy minimization point must be determined separately for each solvent for brines of different well temperatures. For a solvent with limited brine solubility, the curve is truncated at the saturation level of the solvent, in which case the energy curve is typically at a minimum at the saturation point.
100 g of brine saturated at 22� C. is mixed with 75 g of ethylamine in a beaker by means of a stirring bar. The beaker is disposed in a 22� C. bath. Stirring is continued for 5 minutes, and thereafter, the mixture is filtered to recover the precipitated salt. The precipitated salt is washed on the filter with 25 ml of additional saturated brine at 22� C. The salt is dried and determined to weigh 13.7 g. The total amount of salt in the brine is 26.4 g as determined by boiling the water away from 100 g of saturated brine. Thus, about 52 percent of the salt is recovered by precipitation.
A salt purity determination was made by converting the calcium plus magnesium contents, as determined by E.D.T.A. titration, into calcium sulphate and subtracting from 100. The purity of the salt calculated by this method was found to be 99.7%.
This example demonstrates that sodium chloride of substantial purity may be obtained from saturated brine by solvent precipitation.
In addition to the energy, solubility and azeotropic considerations cited above, the solvent should be relatively inexpensive because although the solvent is continuously recycled, even in the most efficient cycle, solvent will be continuously lost.
Suitable solvents along with their boiling points, heat of vaporization and specific heats, along with information relating to azeotrope formation with water are listed in the Table below. These values were obtained from various standard references including the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, Organic Solvents by Riddick and Bunger, and the Handbook of Solvents by Scheflan and Jacobs and from a book entitled Azeotropic Data from the Advances in Chemistry series. Not all data is available for all of the compounds; however, in each case, it is believed that the missing data, which is easily obtainable by conventional experimental methods, would show that these solvents are energy efficient for particular salt precipitation applications. It is to be understood that useful solvents are not limited to those listed in the table below.

Referring now to FIG. 3, in which a continuous salt recovery process is outlined, saturated brine is pumped from a brine pool 10 through lines 12a,b,c,d to a mixer 14 where a solvent is introduced through line 16 and mixed with the brine as it flows through the mixer. The saturated brine may serve to cool the distillate, as hereinafter described, which comprises the solvent. Solvent line 16 is also supplied from a make-up tank 15. The mixture, along with the precipitated salt, are pumped through line 18 into a filter unit 20 where the salt is recovered from the solvent-unsaturated brine mixture. The filtered solvent-unsaturated brine mixture or filtrate is then passed through line 22 to a distillation unit 24 where the solvent is recovered as a distillate. The solvent vapors are passed through line 26 to a condenser 27, which in a preferred embodiment is cooled by saturated brine flowing through line 12b from the brine pool 10. The unsaturated brine or distillate is pumped through line 28 back into the brine pool 10 where it again becomes saturated.
The salt recovered in the filter unit 20 is transferred by line 29 to a salt rinse unit 30 where it is contacted with incoming saturated brine from line 12c, this process helping to remove any trapped organic solvent from the salt crystals. Salt is transferred from the rinse unit 30 to a drier 32 completing the salt recovery process.
While the process has been described in terms of a preferred embodiment, modifications obvious to one with ordinary skill in the art may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. While certain preferred solvents have been described, other solvents known to those with ordinary skill in the art may also be used.
Various features of the invention are set forth in the following claims.

Plus its not that surprising TIM might go for controlling the Reapers I mean in the first game Cerberus was trying to control Rachni and Thorian Creepers as part of a slave army, and in Mass Effect 2 they tried making a VI god to control the Geth, and had in the past tried to create a super biotic, as well as TIM seeing the Collector base as a means to allow humanity to not only defeat the Reapers but any other races he sees as threats.
So it look obvious that he is after anything that gives humanity an edge over the other races so why wouldn't he try to go for the ultimate one and control the most advanced race in the universe. Especially since if he succeeds no one could oppose Cerberus or humanity.
The problem with that point Hart is that most of those attempts to control something
. Sovereign was able to control the Geth without anyone knowing and was able to launch an assault against the whole galaxy. Cerberus' attempt at controlling the Geth with a VI was not only a failure, it killed all but two people in a densely populated science station. The VI also would have caused more damage had it broken free. EDI herself managed to no longer follow Cerberus' commands, and even the collector base didn't amount to jack in the end. And depending on your play, he wasn't able to control Shepard either.
So why should TIM, who's writers declare that his intelligence is his weapon, think that he'll have more luck controlling the Reapers when he couldn't even control the GETH? Again, the same synthetics that the Reapers themselves were able to control and manipulate with ease. His motivations are like a fourth grader who keeps failing his math classes and decides he's going to tackle integral calculus instead.
Hell, even Joker was -- ahem -- joking about that in the Citadel DLC. Years ago, before anyone knew anything about them, Cerberus tried to create a superbiotic by torturing a small but talented child; that child got loose and killed all their guys. A few years later, Cerberus tried to make an army of Thorian Creepers; they got loose and killed all their guys. Then they tried to create an army of Rachni; they got loose and killed all their guys. They tried to experiment on Thresher Maws, which got loose and killed all their guys. A few years later they experimented on a Geth-controlling VI, which got loose and killed all their guys. Around that same time they resurrected Shepard, who became disillusioned with their methods, got loose, and killed all their guys. Shepard was aided by EDI, a powerful AI construct who later got loose and killed all their guys. On Omega, they were experimenting with adjutants, who also got loose and killed a lot (but not all) of their guys.
The Illusive Man's whole resume has been a litany of futile attempts to control things that he barely understands on the assumption that they will somehow, someway, become more of an asset than a liability. That's the entire idea behind Cerberus: they cruise around the universe playing with every kind of fire they can find on the assumption that sooner or later they'll figure out how to control it properly. Their attempts to control the reapers would have been equally futile; even if they had any early success, it would only be a matter of time before the Reapers got loose and killed all their guys.

Letter: Lights, camera ...
Lorita Pardue, Naples
Lights, camera ...
I have seen so many letters to the editor stating that our president, Barack Hussein Obama, doesn't know what he's doing.
Fact: He knows exactly what he's doing. Listen to his own words when campaigning in 2007-08 and throughout his term in office.
He hasn't had enough time?
Fact: Look around. Time isn't his enemy — though he definitely wants more time to solidify the breakdown of our personal and constitutional freedoms.
Things are worse than he envisioned when coming into office?
Fact: Really?
What exactly has he made better? I was told the Democrats had the plan. We can't even get a budget.
Must-see: The feature film "Obama's America 2016," now playing in Bonita Springs.
New voters, experienced voters, these are words spoken by our president.
You may or may not like it, but don't judge this movie unless you see it.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In Photoshop CS5: Creative Compositing, Chris Orwig demonstrates how to take photographs to the next creative level by combining images in Photoshop. This course covers multiple compositing scenarios, including portraits and architecture photos, from selecting the images, to blending photos with layer masks and blend modes, and resizing and sharpening the results. Chris also covers tips and tricks design to inspire and increase the drama and interest of photographs. Exercise files are included with this course.
If you are a premium member of the lynda.com Online Training Library, or if you are watching this on a disc, you have access to the Exercise Files. In order to work with the Exercise Files, simply locate the Exercise Files folder and then double-click it to open it up. Here we'll discover that all of the images and all of the files that we will be working on are organized into different folders based on their respective chapters. So if you want to start working on one particular chapter, all that you need to do is to simply go to that folder, open it up, and there you will see the images that we will be working on in that particular chapter.
Now another great way to access these files is by way of using Adobe Bridge. So here what I am going to do is quickly open up Adobe Bridge so that we can view these files. Now one of the reasons why you might want to do this is because while using Adobe Bridge you can have a great preview of the project that we will be working on in that particular chapter. For example, let's say we click on the Chapter 08_vintage_portrait. What you can do is see the original file and then you can click through the images and see the project at different stages, and here you can either start at one of these particular stages or you can go ahead and start off at the beginning.
This can also be helpful to help you discern or determine what chapter you want to work on. For example, you can go ahead and click on the Chapter 10 folder antique_book. Here you can see we are taking a vintage or antique book, what we are going to do is blend some images into that book. This will give you a sense for the overall project, and that's going to help you determine if you want to start working in that chapter. Now, if you don't have access to the Exercise Files, it's no big deal, you can always simply follow along or of course, you can work on your own files. All right, let's begin.
There are currently no FAQs about Photoshop CS5: Creative Compositing.
Access exercise files from a button right under the course name.
Search within course videos and transcripts, and jump right to the results.
Remove icons showing you already watched videos if you want to start over.
Make the video wide, narrow, full-screen, or pop the player out of the page into its own window.
Click on text in the transcript to jump to that spot in the video. As the video plays, the relevant spot in the transcript will be highlighted.

In August 2014 SNAP entered a community partnership with StoryCorps. Since 2003 StoryCorps has collected and archived more than 50,000 interviews with over 90,000 participants. With the storyteller's permission, each conversation is preserved at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
StoryCorps is one of the largest oral history projects of its kind, and millions listen to their weekly broadcasts on NPR's Morning Edition and on their Listen pages. SNAP President Barbara Blaine was interviewed by her friend and mentor Judge Sheila Murphy and the story aired on WBEZ in Chicago August 1.
In honor of the 25th Anniversary of SNAP, during the 2014 National Conference Aug 1-3 StoryCorps reserved two full recording days for SNAP members to share their stories. We are so proud of the brave survivors who have made their stories available to you with the hope that those who have not yet found the courage, will be inspired to come forward.
Since then, others have been able to record at the StoryCorps booths in San Francisco, Atlanta and Chicago. They even have a mobile booth that may be coming to a town near you soon. We would love to hear your story! Explore the links below for more information. As always, feel free to call the SNAP office with any questions, 312-455-1499.

Fifth-generation iPod video cables with an iPhone

Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: I have a fifth-generation iPod with video. I am using it with a Monster A/V cable (30 pin connection) to play music and video content to a car DVD/Video system via the RCA and Composite video connections. The 30 pin connector also supplies power to the iPod. I would also like to use my iPhone 4S with the car DVD/Video player, but the old Monster A/V cable will not function with the iPhone. I believe Apple reconfigured the 30 pin interface. Does anyone make
an adapter for the "old" 30 pin to the "newer" 30 pin connector? Thank you for any advice.

A: Sadly, with the release of the iPod classic in 2007, Apple locked the video out capability to only work with Apple-approved cables—those containing a special authentication chip to indicate that they were authorized to display video from the 30-pin Dock Connector. This decision broke many of the video accessories that had been previously designed for the fifth-generation iPod. It is likely that your Monster A/V cable is from this generation of accessories and unfortunately this means that it won't work with any iPod or iOS device released from 2007 onward.
Note that Apple did not actually reconfigure the 30-pin Dock Connector interface per se—all of the same pins are still used for video out on all video-capable devices that use the Dock Connector. The only difference from 2007 on was that the software in the devices refused to output a video signal until they could confirm the presence of an authentication chip in the cable.
This new requirement also meant that only manufacturers who were part of Apple's Made-for-iPod program could produce compatible video accessories, which needed to conform to Apple's specifications and requirements. For various reasons, it was not feasible for these companies to consider making Dock Connector adapters.
The bottom line is that this means that if you want to get video output from your iPhone 4S, you're going to need to purchase an entirely new Dock Connector video cable, such as Apple's own Component AV Cable. The good news is that you do not need to use a different cable for each device, since the pinouts are the same and the older iPod will simply ignore the authentication chip, so any newer video cable will also still be compatible with your old fifth-generation iPod.
