ABSTRACT The invention is directed to freeze concentra- tion of liquid mixtures including solutions by the direct contacting in at least two stages, of the mix- ture with a miscible refrigerant. After the con- tacting of the refrigerant with the liquid mixture, there is provided a first stage crop of substantially pure crystals of a mixture component which is separa- ted from the mother liquor. The mother liquor is then further cooled and crystallized in further stages. Any crystals from said further stages are returned to the first or proceeding stage. This concentrates the second stage and further stage mother liquors. This process is applicable to the freeze concen- tration of juices, coffee or tea extracts and beers. It also may be utilized for the purification or bra- ckish water. The purity Or the first stage crystals is assured by controlled crystal growth. The successive stages provide for a complete concentration of the residual matter in the mother liquor. When the residual matter in the mother liquor is the desired product, it is recovered in very concentrated form. Should the crystals from the first stage be the desired product, their high degree of purity is advantageous.
