“…The precise explanation given regarding this matter is that the ice crystal layers formed from this experiment were found to be unstable and not rigid as compared to the ones produced from the solution with lower feed salinity (Williams et al, 2013). Hence, it requires slower solution flowrate in order to avoid the unstable ice film to be destroyed by the strong currents.…”

“…The previous findings also have proven that the ice crystals formed by this method is highly pure which also portrays the high efficiency of the separation process. Mass and heat transfer, crystallization, flow of liquids through solids and solidliquid separation are the scopes that are taken into consideration in cryoconcentration (Williams et al, 2013).…”

Progressive cryoconcentration (PC) is gaining acceptance in solution concentration process as it could provide an easy separation and ice purification with relatively low energy. In fact, the advantages of PC process as compared to the other concentration methods have led the growth of related studies that aim to provide the best system or condition for the separation process involved. Apart from the provision of appropriate equipment, the PC process should also be conducted at its optimum conditions of operating parameters involved, which could give the highest separation efficiency.Hence, relationship between the parameters, which covers both manipulated and determinant parameters should be studied first. This review summarizes the previous conducted studies on the effect of various operating parameters on the PC performance, which includes effect of coolant temperature, solution flowrate, initial solution concentration, freezing time, ice crystal front growth rate and stirring rate.

Progressive freeze concentration (PFC) is a process where only a large single ice crystal is formed in the system and grown on the cooling surface so that the separation between the ice crystal and the mother solution is very easy. This makes the system very simple and leads to a lower cost. The conventional setup of PFC produces ice with high purity but lower productivity than suspension freeze concentration (SFC). The volume of ice produced is also usually low. Hence, continued areas of the development for PFC system include the quest for improved productivity and better efficiency. Different kinds of design have been investigated which are easy to operate and cost-effective besides the ability to obtain high quality of product and better efficiency of the system. The PFC system is recognized as a good alternative if high quality products can be produced with higher productivity. In this article, previous researches on PFC designs were reviewed for the purpose of providing an understanding on methods of designing a PFC system and also to provide references for future application of PFC.

Abstract-In this work, a rotating crystallizer with antisupercooling holes was introduced as a new technology for water purification of seawater through progressive freeze concentration, where pure water is produced in the form of ice crystal block, which leaves behind a higher concentration solution. This paper presents the investigations of the effect of initial concentration and rotation time and the efficiency of the system was reviewed based on the effective partition constant (K), desalination rate (R d ) and efficiency of concentration (E%). The system has achieved its best performance at low initial concentration which is 25g/L and rotation time of four hours.
