Sea water mainly comprising of NaCl is separated and formed into a concentrated solution of NaCl called 'Brine'. Than in a diaphragm cell you add the NaCl (conc) and use Titanium Anode and Steel Cathode. At Anode Cl2 gas is released and Cathode H2 gas is released and the remaining solution is NaOH which is filtered out.

How do you prepare NaOH from sea water?

NaOH is scientifically known as sodium hydroxide, and commercially known as caustic soda. It is made from the electrolosis of a salt water solution called brine in a manufacturing facility known as a chlor-alkali plant. Sea water could obviously be used, but would be weaker in concentration than the commercially prepared brine.In any case, the brine flows in a trough over a running bed of liquid mercury. Carbon rods are immersed in the brine and act as electrodes to carry a strong electrical current through the brine solution. This results in the salt (sodium chloride - NaCl) breaking down and releasing chlorine gas (Cl2), with the Na then picking up the hydroxyl radical (OH-) to become NaOH.The reaction also produces a weak solution of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) a bleaching solution known commercially as Javex or Chlorox.


How can one make sea water safe for consumption?

To make sea water safe for consumption, it needs to be desalinated through processes like distillation or reverse osmosis to remove salt and impurities. This results in fresh water that is safe to drink.


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.


Why cant filtering make sea water fit to drink?

Normal filtration can't remove salts because the ions to very small and can pass through most of the filtering medium. However, it is actually possible to filter out salts using Reverse Osmosis membrane and made a drinkable water.
