If the duality of the solvent and solute portions of brines is recognized , it may be possible to develop a model with which to define the origin of brine . Mineral equilibrium , evaporative concentration , and ion filtration are the principal processes which modify brine composition . The evaluation of these processes within a careful hydrogeological study of the brine reservoir in combination with the use of appropriate diagnostic techniques may suggest a specific origin for a brine . |
