Why is desalination good?
Desalinization is good because you can't drink salt water. If you want fresh water and you live in a place with very little, but have a lot of energy, you can use desalinization to make fresh water.
How much salt enters water supply from a residential water softener?
I think it depends on the water softner. Check with the maker of the unit you are interested in. They should be able to provide you with the exact amounts for your unit. It is very likely that it does provide a dietary significant source of salt. If this is your concern, try looking at a reverse osmosis (RO) system instead.
How is desalination done?
Desalinisationsaline is salt. de is to undo or remove. You might "desalinise" sea water - ie. remove the salt content from sea water it separates it in to two streams :)Answerremoval of salt A more fancy pants answer is that desalinization is the process of extracting salt from sea water to make drinking water. An easy way to do it is to boil salt water and capture the water vapor as it leaves the boiling pot. When the vapor cools, it condenses and reforms into water drops that through coagulation reform into fresh water.Answerthe remove of salt from a solution. e.g. removing salts from seawater to produce drinking waterAnswerIt means taking the salt out of a liquid. Many methods for water purification and seawater desalinization have been used for a number of years starting in ancient times with good old fashion distillation (boil the water and catch the condensate leaving the bad stuff behind). The leading method now is membrane based...reverse osmosis. Expensive to build, expensive to operate and maintain.Reverse Osmosis uses pressure to force water molecules through a special membrane with very small pores that trap salts and other dissolved solids (retentate) and results in up to 99% pure water (solute). In low pressure home use, RO usually results in 80% or more waste...5 gallons of waste water are produced for every gallon of useable water. In high pressure systems (1000 psi or more) used in saltwater desalinization, recovery rates can exceed 90%. High pressure systems require alot of energy to run however.New studies are underway to improve membrane efficiencies (particularly in energy use) include forward osmosis which actually uses an ionic salt process and then removing the special salts from the solute..or good water side..of the membrane process.Carbon nano-tubes built into membranes and electrically charged to repel salt ions before reaching the membrane, and biomimetic membranes utlizing aquaporins in a similar charged fashion hold some promise to improving the efficiency of RO systems but are still in the theory and development stage.One new process that is actually in commercial development is Capacitive De-ionization which uses a flow-through capacitor designed to eliminate dissolved solids from water using a small electrical charge.
Does a central air conditioner need water to work?
no... water in the refrigeration system is a very bad thing. The air conditioning system will remove moisture (humidity) from the air and require a drain to channel that water away from the coil.
When the efficiency of wet cooling tower is lower than dry cooling tower?
1. In wet cooling tower Two phase flow heat trasfer 2. To remove sensible heat from water is very critical 3.It depends on water droplet size ,fills design,orientastion and climatical condition. But in dry cooling tower, Air is the only media to remove the heat from the source 1. In wet cooling tower Two phase flow heat trasfer 2.

How do you get salt out of a carpet?
Wash with water; it is very simple and efficient.
How does evaporation remove salt from water?
The water evaporates and leaves the salt. The salt does not evaporate because it has a very high (801°C) melting, and even higher (1686°C) boiling temperature.
How does salt water effect floating?
The salt water has a greater density and the floating is easier.
What happens when you mix salt and distilled water?
Distilling salt water separates the salt and the water: water is boiled away and condensed back to water, leaving the salt.
How can you remove water from ethyl acetate by using inorganic salt?
It is very easy to remove water from Ethylacetate using salt such as calcium chloride flakes. cacl2 will absorb all moisture and seperates as layer in the bottom using density difference Murugavel.k
Salt dissolved in water?
Salt is very soluble in water.
HOW to remove salt stuck to a shaker lid?
The best way that i remove a lid from a corroded salt shaker is to either run it under hot water or soak it in a sink filled with very hot water
Why does salt not dissolve in water answer?
Salt (NaCl) is very soluble in water.
What makes water without salt evaporate faster than water with salt?
This is because the mole fraction of water in salt solution is lower than the mole fraction of water in pure water and salt is not volatile - has no appreciable vapour presure. This is an instance of Raoult's Law in action. In very simple terms the number of water molecules at the surface of the water is less when there is salt present thus lowering its vapour presure.
How necessary is soap in removing salt from your hands?
Soap is not necessary for removing salt from your hands. Salt is very easy to clean off your hands with just water.
Does salt sink?
Salt is very soluble in water.
Does salt dissolve in water?
Yes. Salt is known as soluble, meaning it will dissolve in water.
