there are no problems, just other methods are faster.

How do you change a dilute solution to concentrated solution?
Either add more solute to the solution, or remove some of the solvent (by distillation or some other method of reduction).
Why would you use distillation?
Distillation is a method used to separate the components of a liquid, or increase the purity of a liquid. For example, one can generally make highly pure water through distillation. Alcohols can also be concentrated with distillation which is used to make hard alcohols. One should note, however, that there are often contaminants that co-distill... so for example distilled spirits are rarely pure. Potentially heat-stable solids could also be distilled in some cases. Also see fractional distillation and reflux distillation.
What are some differences between salinity and desalination?
Salinity is the contrencation of salt in for example water, desalination is the process of remowing salt from water.
Which method is used to separate parts of a solution when the entire solution can pass through a filter?
There are a number of different ways to separate the parts of a mixture of liquids. Since the liquids in question usually have different boiling points, they can be separated by means of distillation. If they have significantly different densities, it may be possible to separate them be means of a centrifuge. The liquid can be poured onto paper and separated by means of chromatography, based on the different rates at which different substances diffuse through paper. In some cases freezing, rather than boiling, can be used as a means of distillation.
WHAT Evaporation is an inexpensive and efficient method of removing salt from ocean water?
No. Evaporation is energy-intensive, which usually means expensive. Some solar distillation processes are cheaper, but inefficient and slow.
How do you convert salt water into pure by visually?
Desalination of water is not a visual process. It is usually done by some form of distillation. You evaporate or boil the water away, leaving the salt behind.
How do you remove salt from tap water?
A process called distillation. Some water treatment facilities use this method to purify water.
How do you change a dilute solution to concentrated solution?
Either add more solute to the solution, or remove some of the solvent (by distillation or some other method of reduction).
What are the cons of thermal desalination?
Advantages· Distillation offers significant savings in operational and maintenance costs compared with other desalination technologies. · In most cases, distillation does not require the addition of chemicals or water softening agents to pretreat feedwater.· Low temperature distillation plants are energy-efficient and cost-effective to operate.· Many plants are fully automated and require a limited number of personnel to operate.· Distillation has minimal environmental impacts, although brine disposal must be considered in the plant design.· The technology produces high-quality water, in some cases having less than 10 mg/1 of total dissolved solids.· Distillation can be combined with other processes, such as using heat energy from an electric-power generation plant.Disadvantages· Some distillation processes are energy-intensive, particularly the large-capacity plants. «Disposal of the brine is a problem in many regions. · The distillation process, particularly MSF distillation, is very costly.· Distillation requires a high level of technical knowledge to design and operate.· The technology requires the use of chemical products, such as acids, that need special handling.
Can you name some ways to turn salt water to fresh water?
There are two major ways to produce fresh water from salt water. The first and oldest is by distillation. This involves boiling the water, recondensing the vapour and collecting the condensate separately from the original sample. To do this a distillation aparatus is required whether it be glassware or other. The other method is commonly used in desalination plants and it is a process by which the water is forced through a filter under pressure. The filter will remove particles as small as salt ions. This is known as osmosis.
Does desalination involve titanium?
Desalination does not necessarily involve titanium. This process is intended to remove salt from water in order to make it potable. Reverse osmosis is one common method. It may be that some components of the apparatus are made of titanium for strength or weight saving, but that is not essential for the prime purpose.

What are some riddles about distillation?
water is blue, distillation is too, you think its happy, but its sad, you know distillation, is really rad
What are some examples of problems in Scientific method?
i dont have any knowledge about it,but i know how to do it!.:)
What is one method of separation of solution?
Solutions are separated by decantation, distillation, precipitation, etc.
What are some of the problems with this method of data storage for a credit card?
