AbstractBrine released from desalination plants is extremely high in salinity and contains various chemicals, which are harmful to the ecosystem. The disposal of brine has raised great concerns for the desalination industry around the world due to its detrimental impact on fauna and flora. This review complies with various zero liquid discharge technologies that have been proposed for successful brine disposal which aims to minimize the impact of brine discharge. Moreover, it highlights some of the detrimental impacts of brine discharge on marine fauna and Flora. It also discusses both thermal and membrane technologies for recovering freshwater, energy, and minerals from waste brine, in addition to the recent advances in a solar pond, membrane distillation, pressure retarded osmosis, etc. In Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework was used in this review to analyze the water resource system in Qatar. This review also facilitates and provides a comprehensive approach in minimizing the potential impact of brine discharge which can be practiced and applied in countries where desalination plants are set up. This promotes cleaner production, sustainability, and recycling of waste that will help protect and preserve the country's natural water resources.
