Abstract: The hydrate-based solution separation is a novel separation technology. This paper summarized the basic principle of aqueous concentration by forming hydrate，the benefits and drawbacks of hydrate technology. This paper emphasized the progress of seawater desalination，wastewater treatment，juice concentration，and biochemical separation by forming clathrate hydrate. Although forming hydrate desalination has been industrialized，the high and energy consumption of hydrate formation pressure limited its applications. The research on waste water treatment was only limited to pulping waste water recovery. Juice concentration and biochemical separation by forming hydrate were proven to be effective in recovery products with high added-value. The problems of high pressure of hydrate formation and hydrate crystal entrained concentrated solution by forming clathrate hydrate were also discussed. Future research directions of aqueous solution concentration by forming hydrate were proposed.
