  • Purifying aqueous mixtures derived from hydrocarbon production processes
    Patent number: 11279631
    Abstract: A method for purifying an aqueous mixture is provided. The method can include at least partially crystallizing an aqueous mixture derived from a hydrocarbon process to provide a crystallized aqueous mixture. The aqueous mixture can comprise water and one or more contaminants to be separated from the water. The crystallized aqueous mixture can be separated into a contaminant-rich fraction and a water-rich fraction. Water can be recovered from the water-rich fraction and the one or more contaminants can be recovered from the contaminant-rich fraction.
