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.

Is water a solvent of salt?
Water is a very powerful SOLVENT. It will dissolve SALT ( sodium chloride) , the SOLUTE. When the solute is dissolved in the solvent it is called a SOLUTION. Sea water is a solution of salts and water. The principal salt is sodium chloride, however, there are plenty of other salts dissolved in sea-water, viz. sodium bromide, potassium chloride, potassium iodide, calcium carbonate. Also carbon dioxide dissolves in sea-water. These are just a few of the solutes in the solution named sea-water.
What are the two main source of salt?
The two main sources of salt are natural deposits in salt mines and sea water. Salt can be harvested from salt mines through mining and from sea water through the process of evaporation.
How does salt get from the sea?
By evaporation of water sodium chloride is obtained.
Does adding sea salt to water change its pH level to become more alkaline?
No, adding sea salt to water does not change its pH level to become more alkaline. Sea salt is a neutral substance and does not significantly affect the pH of water.
How do you remove salt in sea sand?
To remove salt from sea sand, you can rinse the sand with fresh water multiple times to leach out the salt. Alternatively, you can soak the sand in fresh water and then evaporate the water through exposure to sunlight, leaving behind the salt-free sand.
Is sea water potable?
No, since the salt in it actually does the reverse of drinking water and absorbs fluids. Sea water can be desalinated (have the salt removed) and then it is potable.

Can you use salt from the sea to put on food?
Yes. Its called Sea Salt and you can buy it from any health food store. Many countries use manufacture salt for human consumption from sea water. Sea water is allowed to flood shallow lakes called salt pans. After the water evaporates the salt is collected and impurities are removed to produce pure salt. Potassium iodide is sometimes added as many diets are lacking in iodine. Pure salt is white.
