<p>The invention is directed to a process for separating a compound from an aqueous feed stream wherein said compound is dissolved. The process of the invention comprises
- adding a crystallisation agent to said feed stream, thereby causing at least part of said first compound to crystallise, resulting in a mixture of crystals and a liquid,
- separating at least part of the crystals from the liquid, leaving a supernatant,
- subjecting at least part of the supernatant to a membrane separation process, producing a concentrate;
wherein the crystallisation agent comprises a second compound with a higher solubility in water than the first compound.</p> |
