⚙️ My latest preprint presents a thermodynamic rationale for a two-stage cascade Eutectic Freeze Crystallization (EFC) process, developed for the treatment and resource recovery of hypersaline mine water from the Svystunova Gully impoundment (published in Ukrainian).

☝️ Key highlights:
🔹 Selective phase separation: Conducting the process in two stages with inter-stage solids separation at -20.0°C provides a 2.5°C operating buffer before chloride salts begin to precipitate, ensuring clean separation of sulfate and chloride fractions.
🔹 High water recovery: The total yield of desalinated water (as pure ice) reaches 964.07 g per 1 kg of initial H2O (96.4% recovery rate).
🔹 Effluent minimization: The initial wastewater volume is reduced 62-fold, concentrating the residual components into a compact, heavy bittern.

As we explore, we might spare a thought for a man driven by an endles spirit of inquiry, William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin; he died on this date in 1907. A mathematician, mathematical physicist, and engineer considered by many “the Newton of his era,” Lord Kelvin was instrumental in the formulation of the first and second laws of thermodynamics, and contributed significantly to unifying physics, which was then in its infancy of development as an emerging academic discipline. He received the Royal Society’s Copley Medal in 1883 and served as its president from 1890 to 1895. In 1892 he became the first scientist to be elevated to the House of Lords. Absolute temperatures are stated in units of kelvin in his honor.
