β¦ Synopsis
The salt content of ice grown on the outer surface of a flat pellet containing an initially frozen eutectic solution melting at 27 .2Β°F and immersed in 35,000 ppm NaCl-H20 brine flowing vertically upward at 0.009 and 0.016 ft/sec was measured for pellet initial temperatures ranging from 22 .7'F to 25.7 Β°F and brine temperatures from 28 .8Β°F to 29 .3Β°F. The ratio of salt concentration in the melted ice to that in the brine varied from 0 .16 to 0 .81 . A model which assumes the ice growth to be controlled solely by heat diffusion fails to describe the observed growth behavior .

A new crystallization phenomenon of ice from brine is described . Within a relatively narrow range of subcooled brine temperatures, large, plate-like free ice crystals of up to several inches in length were formed in the bulk of slowly traversing brine simultaneously with the growth of dendritic ice
