Sea water containing 4 wt.% salt (NaCl) is passed through a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane filtration unit to produce a "fresh" water product containing 0.5 wt.% NaCl and a concentrated brine waste stream. If there are 28 kg of fresh water recovered from every 100 kg of sea water, then determine the concentration of the brine waste stream. Type your answer in as a weight percentage rounded off to one decimal place, but do not include the 6 symbol.

Question
Sea water containing 4 wt. % salt (NaCI) is passed through a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane filtration unit to
produce a "fresh" water product containing 0.5 wt.6 NaCI and a concentrated brine waste stream. If there are
28 kg of fresh water recovered from every 100 kg of sea water, then determine the concentration of the brine
waste stream.
Type your answer in as a weight percentage rounded off to one decimal place, but do not include the 6
symbol.
