    Abstract: Techniques for growing crystalline calcium carbonate solids such that the crystalline calcium carbonate solids include a volume of 0.0005 mm3 to 5 mm3, include a slaker to react quicklime (CaO) and a low carbonate content fluid to yield a slurry of primarily slaked lime (Ca(OH)2); a fluidized-bed reactive crystallizer that encloses a solid bed mass and includes an input for a slurry of primarily slaked lime, an input for an alkaline solution and carbonate, and an output for crystalline calcium carbonate solids that include particles and an alkaline carbonate solution; a dewatering apparatus that includes an input coupled to the crystallizer and an output to discharge a plurality of separate streams that each include a portion of the crystalline calcium carbonate solids and alkaline carbonate solution; and a seed transfer apparatus to deliver seed material into the crystallizer to maintain a consistent mass of seed material.

    Abstract: The invention discloses a purification method, system and a detection method of N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO), and a N-methylmorpholine N-oxide obtained thereof. The NMMO is derived from a NMMO crude product prepared by the reaction of N-methylmorpholine with hydrogen peroxide. The mass concentration of NMMO in the NMMO crude product is 50% to 60%. The purification method includes: performing cooling crystallization to the NMMO crude product between −20° C. and 78° C. to obtain crystalline NMMO. The NMMO purification method has a low cost, a high purity of the obtained NMMO product, and almost no generation of exhaust gas, waste water, and solid waste. Different from current NMMO purification process, the purification method of the invention does not require ion-exchange resin, thus completely solved problems of significant amount of wastewater with high concentration of salt and COD and spent ion-exchange resin caused by the regeneration of ion-exchange resin.

    Abstract: A water treatment process (10) includes, in a crystallisation stage (12), passing a saline water feed (16) through an elongate conduit kept in a cold environment at a temperature below the equilibrium freezing temperature of the saline water, forming a slurry of brine and ice crystals inside the conduit, and, in a separation stage (14), separating the ice crystals from a bulk of the brine, producing a brine stream (22) and an ice stream (26). The elongate conduit is of a material, or has an inner material layer in contact with the saline water and with the slurry of brine and ice crystals, with a thermal conductivity of less than 5 W/m·K and has a length configured to ensure formation of the slurry of brine and ice crystals in the conduit at the flow rate of the saline water feed through the elongate conduit.

    Abstract: A system is provided for performing crystallisation by cooling, comprising two crystallisation units, each of the two crystallisation units comprising a cooling body with a crystallisation surface for forming crystals on, and a scraper unit, comprising a scraping member arranged to be moved over the crystallisation surface for scraping crystals from the crystallisation surface and a scraper actuator for moving the scraping member over the crystallisation surface, wherein the scraper actuator of a first of the two crystallisation units can be actuated independently from a scraper actuator of a second of the two crystallisation units.
