2. A process for producing ice comprising:
mixing one liquid phase of a liquid-liquid phase transition liquid with another liquid phase of a liquid-liquid phase transition liquid to form an exothermic liquid-liquid phase transition;
removing heat; and
mixing the liquid-liquid phase transition liquid with a phase transition temperature adjustment reagent to form an endothermic liquid-liquid phase transition;
wherein said at least a portion of the liquid-liquid phase transition liquid comprises water and wherein the endothermic liquid-liquid phase transition reduces the temperature to about the freezing point of water or below to freeze at least a portion of liquid water to form ice.
 
6. A process comprising:
mixing two non-contiguous liquid phases to form an endothermic liquid-liquid phase transition liquid wherein at least a portion of the endothermic liquid-liquid phase transition liquid comprises water; and
reducing the temperature to at or below the freezing point of water wherein at least a portion of liquid water freezes to form ice.
