Original Kurzfassung:
Commercial and industrial activities produce wastewater that constitutes a significant environmental risk. Various treatment methods reduce the wastewater?s harmful effects. A promising path to minimize these effects is crystallization, offering a sustainable wastewater treatment solution and an effective method for salt recovery. Crystallization is a separation process that relies on the solid crystal formation from a solution and removes dissolved salts and other impurities from wastewater, producing clean water and recoverable salts. Temperature, concentration, or chemical composition variations control the process. The changes cause dissolved substances to become supersaturated and form solid crystals, which separate from the liquid. The benefits of using crystallization for wastewater treatment are numerous. The process is highly efficient and removes even tiny amounts of dissolved salts and other impurities from the wastewater. Further, crystallization requires less energy than other treatment methods. In addition, crystallization is lower in operational costs and needs less space than other processes. Finally, crystallization offers a promising solution to the wastewater treatment challenge. By utilizing this separation process, we can develop sustainable strategies for managing wastewater and protecting our environment.
