From what I understand, with sea water, if you do not freeze more than
10% or so of it, the ice will be essentially as pure as distilled water.
The problem is any entrapped water, and contamination. Thus it is best
if you can put cold tubes into the water, and have it freeze to the
tubes,
The ice as formed would be pure, but it would still be contaminated by any
bird droppings, shoes of ice fishermen, feet of any animals that crossed,
dust settling, or any animal dung or pee.

Water is often desalinated by freezing. Icebergs are fresh water.
Icehouse beer is made stronger by freezing. Ever consumed a semi frozen can of beer? It's very strong.
How much achohol remains in the ice, I don't know, but it's obvious that most of it doesn't stay in the ice.
My well water has

A few years ago I got something in the mail for freezing
water to make it pure.It sounded to good to be true so I discarded it.Anyway
what would the PPM be for water
that was purified like that if it worked like its suppose to?
Hooo Boy! Here we go with eutectics, solubility curves, sequestration an'
who knows what-all. I hope someone really knows the field, and will
respond on the list. About all I'm aware of is that maple sap can be
concentrated into syrup by freezing rather than the usual wood-wasting
process
