Water scarcity is a global issue worsened by population growth, climate change, and industry. Freezing-based desalination shows potential with lower energy needs and less environmental impact. However, current freezing methods produce ice with inconsistent salt levels, and new solutions are needed. This paper proposes a novel method inspired by Czochralski (directional top-cooling solidification) techniques, where motion is introduced during solidification to achieve uniform low salinity in ice. This study investigates the efficacy of directional top-cooling solidification techniques for desalination, contrasting them with conventional top-cooling methods. Three distinct setups were employed: Setup_1 utilized conventional top-cooling, while Setups 2 and 3 incorporated directional top-cooling solidification akin to the Czochralski method. The conventional top-cooling approach often leads to non-uniform salinity distribution within ice structures due to complex convection phenomena, whereas directional top-cooling solidification ensures uniform salinity throughout the ice volume. Experimental results demonstrate uniform salinity levels along the lengths of ice, measuring 0.34±0.04 wt% NaCl for 1.7 wt% NaCl-water solution and 0.7±0.05 wt% NaCl for 3.4 wt% NaCl-water solution. In multistaging desalination, this saline ice again melts and is further desalinized using the same leads to 0.1±0.05 wt% NaCl, which can be directly used for the drinking stage. Additionally, energy consumption analysis reveals directional top-cooling solidification’s potential for significant energy savings, with around a 5% reduction observed compared to conventional top-cooling methods for single-stage desalination.
