The urgent need for environmental sustainability has increasingly prompted policy makers to emphasize resource recovery from desalination brine streams. Recent research on resource recovery from waste streams has shown rising momentum with near term viability for several new technologies. In this perspective, we focus on new opportunities for metal resource recovery from seawater desalination brine, while outlining associated sustainability challenges and opportunities. The potential of metals recovery is discussed.
