Multi-stage vacuum distilling, cooling, and freezing processes for
solution separation and seawater desalination are implemented through
multi-stage vacuum distilling, cooling, and freezing systems. The systems
are set to their initial state for implementing constant temperature
distilling process, drain-to-vacuum and freezing process, transferring of
a specific solution, and recycling of a hot circulating solution, so as
to separate the specific solution. In the multi-stage cooling process,
vacuum evaporation cooling is utilized to cool the solution in order to
supply the low-temperature solution needed in the multi-stage vacuum
freezing process. Vapors produced in the multi-stage vacuum distilling
and cooling systems provide condensation heat needed to melt ice crystals
produced in the multi-stage vacuum freezing system. And, the
low-temperature concentrated solution and molten ice crystals produced in
the multi-stage vacuum freezing system may be used to cool the hot
circulating solution discharged at the lowest stage of the multi-stage
vacuum distilling system.
