Abstract
AbstractOne way to conserve fresh water resources is by reusing water from wastewater. For instance, water can be removed from wastewater through formation of ice crystal layers by progressive freeze concentration (PFC). The application of PFC to remove water from produced water and biodiesel wastewater was assessed through the final concentration of concentrated wastewater and purity of melted ice crystals. No PFC study has been done on these applications. In order to evaluate the efficiency of PFC, the effective partition constant (K) and separation efficiency (SE) were calculated for the effect of stirring rate and coolant temperature. The results demonstrate that PFC is a more practical method for produced water, as compared to biodiesel wastewater which is based on the value of low K and high SE.
