Highlights:
- 3Â nanofiltration (NF) membranes were tested for desalination brine valorization.
- PRO-XS2 presented the highest selectivity between mono- and multivalent species.
- The Ca removal pre-treatment increased selectivity factors of all NF membranes.
- The SEDF model fit properly the majority of the experimental data.
- The scaling assessment showed that the brine with Ca has a high risk of scaling.
