Recovery and grinding.
The first step is to recover the salt from the water. You just pour the water into a shallow trough and let the water evaporate. It would be possible to boil away the water if you REALLY needed salt in a hurry, but letting the sun evaporate the water is free and has always worked well enough. This will give you salt crystals.
If you are looking for coarse salt, like Kosher salt or rock salt, this is as far as you need go. If you want to reduce it to small granules for salt shakers, you put the crystals in a grinding machine.

Sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt, can be manufactured from seawater and brines through a process called solar evaporation. Seawater or brines are collected and placed in shallow ponds or lagoons. The sun's heat evaporates the water, leaving behind the sodium chloride, which is then collected, refined, and processed into various forms of salt for commercial use.

What kind of salt makes up most seawater?
Sodium chloride is the most important salt in the seawater.
Why is seawater dangerous to drink?
It is high in sodium and possibly pollutents
Would the people have made pure salt?
The word "salt" or common salt usually is applied to Sodium Chloride. Seawater contains a variety of salts, so people "making" salt from seawater would not just be getting Sodium Chloride.
What is the most abundant salt in seawater?
There are several salts in sea water, but the most abundant is ordinary table salt or Sodium Chloride (NaCl). Sodium Chloride, like other salts, dissolves in water into its ions, so this is really a question about which ions are present in the greatest concentration.
Two most abundant salts in seawater?
Sodium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride
If you measured 1kg of seawater what mass of the seawater would be sodium?
Sodium would be 0.99%
Why is the oceans salt?
The most important component of the ocean salt is sodium chloide; potassium, magnesium and calcium chlorides are in lower concentrations.
What is the formula of salt in seawater?
The most important salt in seawater is sodium chloride, NaCl.
Where is does bromine come from?
Bromine is found naturally in bromide compounds. It never is found as a pure element, but is processed commercially from brines rich in bromides by using a treatment with manganese dioxide or sodium chlorate. Bromine can also be extracted from seawater, where its average concentration is about 85 parts per million.
Where was the element sodium found on earth?
Seawater is a good place to find Sodium.
What are the Other example of stomach acid?
Stomach acid contains: Gastric Acid, Hydrochloric Acid (HCl), Potassium Cholride (KCl) and Sodium Chloide (NaCl)
What is the mass of sodium chloride in per kilogram of seawater?
The concentration of sodium chloride in seawater is variable; as an average the value is 35 g NaCl/kg water.
What kind of salt makes up most seawater?
Sodium chloride is the most important salt in the seawater.
Why is it difficult to put sodium chloride in seawater?
It is not difficult !
What does seawater mean in in science?
salt water or water that has sodium
What is the major element that increases the salinity of seawater?
Sodium, Na
Why is seawater dangerous to drink?
It is high in sodium and possibly pollutents
