Yes, if you have the right equipment. You can evaporate the water, condense it again, and it should be pure water which settles in the other beaker, and salt crystals which cake the original beaker. Along with a few other things, as this is seawater.

In Australia, reverse osmosis used for desalinating water. this is the same system as is used on cruise ships and navy vessels to supply very pure water.

This process filters 95% to 99% of dissolved salts and inorganic material from the water.

Reverse osmosis is the finest level of filtration available and supplies water that is clean, safe and pleasant to drink.
