If you're meaning obtaining purified water from sea water i assume the process will be filtration.

What is used to obtain chlorine from sea water?

Electrolysis is commonly used to obtain chlorine from sea water. In this process, an electric current is passed through the sea water, causing the separation of the elements and allowing for the extraction of chlorine gas.


Why will water treatment not make sea water drinkable?

Water treatment processes used for drinking water are not typically designed to handle the high levels of salt found in seawater. Desalination is a separate process used specifically to remove salt from seawater to make it drinkable.


What is the process for purifying sea water?

Sea water can be purified through desalination processes like reverse osmosis or distillation. In reverse osmosis, pressure is used to push water through a semi-permeable membrane to separate salt and impurities from the water. Distillation involves heating sea water to create steam, which is then condensed back into a liquid, leaving salt and impurities behind.


Can the sea salt be removed from sea water?

The process of removing salt from seawater, producing drinking water, is known as desalination.By heating the seawater , either by artificially heating using gas or electricity, or by using the heat from the sun, to evaporate the water leaving the salt crystals behind. The evaporated water vapour is then captured and cooled by condensing into fresh water.


How is salt separated from sea water?

Salt can be separated from seawater through a process called evaporation. When seawater is left to evaporate, the water will turn into vapor and leave the salt behind, which can then be collected. This method is commonly used in salt production.

What does desalinate mean?

Desalination is the process of extraction of salts (generally sodium chloride) from sea water to obtain drinkable water, water for indistry, water for agriculture. But desalination can be applied to petroleum, soils an other materials.

Which methods can be used to obtain fresh water from seawater?

The process of converting salt water to fresh water is called desalination and there is a lot of information on the subject. Mother nature turns salt water into fresh water everyday by evaporation of water from the oceans. Clouds, with water vapor, water droplets and ice crystals form from evaporation. Then, it rains or snows nearly pure water/ice. When humans artificially create pure water, the water is typically heated to drive the pure water off as water vapor and leave the salts behind. In chemistry, heating a liquid to vaporize it so that it condenses in a purer form is a process is called "distillation". Another process, more specifically for water, is reverse osmosis filtration through a series of differentially permeable membranes allowing pure water to pass while trapping salts and other impurities. When any process is used to remove salts from seawater, the process is called desalination.


What is the apparatus in which sea water is placed to remove salt from it?

desalination process is used to remove salt and the large boiler are used for it


Why is sea water left in salt pans under the sun to obtain salt from the sea water instead of being kept in drums in a cool place?

Because to get salt from sea water you want the water to evaporate and leave the salt behind. Setting pans out in the sun will make the water evaporate much faster than if it'd been left in drums somewhere cool. The water in the pans get a bigger exposed surface area and much warmer.


What is the full name of the separation technique to obtain pure water from sea water?

What is the process of taking salt out of sea water and making it drinkable water?

The process is desalination.
