1. A controlled-type recalcitrant high-concentration freeze-separation apparatus, comprising:
a condenser having therein a condenser stainless antifreeze tube formed in a cell and tube form, and a condenser copper refrigerant tube formed in a cell and tube form inside the stainless antifreeze tube to block direct contact between circulating water flowing into the condenser and the condenser copper refrigerant tube; and
an evaporator having therein an evaporator stainless antifreeze tube formed in a form of a cell and tube inside, and an evaporator copper refrigerant tube formed in a cell and tube form inside the evaporator stainless antifreeze tube to block direct contact between circulating water flowing into the evaporator and the evaporator copper refrigerant tube,
wherein an inflow water retention time is controlled by formation of circulating water between the evaporator and a freeze separation tank and circulating water between an ejector and the freeze separation tank and control of an outflow water amount from an inflow water tank, to thereby control supercooling, fine seed water generation, and ice slurry formation and melting, and
wherein a concentrated water retention time is controlled by formation of circulating water between the evaporator and a salt separation tank and circulating water between the ejector and the salt separation tank and control of an outflow water amount from a concentrated water tank, to thereby control supercooling, fine seed water generation, and ice slurry formation and melting.
