Abstract
Disclosed are water treatment processes enabling cations and anions to be extracted from an aqueous effluent by contacting the aqueous effluents with a hydrophobic liquid phase, also including at least one step of contacting the effluent with a hydrophobic solid membrane, in order to remove the residual hydrophobic liquid membrane in the effluent treated by coalescence on the hydrophobic solid membrane. The processes include seawater desalination processes. Also disclosed is a desalination module as well as its facility therefor, including at least one coalescer.
