How big a field ( fields ) would it take to have very shallow amount of sea water shallow enough that natural evaporation would take place more quickly the remaining salt could be used for deicing roads and the remainder would serve as fertilizer if everything is utilized it would cut costs

Are salinity desalination the same?

Salinization is the process by which a non saline soil becomes saline, as by the irrigation of land with brackish water, While desalination is the process to remove salts from seawater or soil. So the difference is that salinity is the concentration of salt in, for example water, desalination is the process of removing salts from the water.=P


What is a product of desalination?

One of the main products of desalination is fresh water, which is obtained by removing salts and other impurities from seawater or saline groundwater. Desalination can also produce brine, a concentrated salty solution that remains after the removal of fresh water.


Why do Middle Eastern countries commonly use distillation to purify water from the sea in desalination plants?

Many Middle Eastern countries are primarily desert leading to them being unable to provide their citizens with sufficient quantities of freshwater from lakes and rivers. Therefore, they are required to turn to the ocean for water. However, ocean water is salty and unsafe for consumption, so a desalination plant is necessary to make salt water into fresh water that is safe for human consumption.


How does desalination works?

desalination means take the salt out. get sea water heat it up water is evaporated and leaves behind salt. so you have fresh clean water ready to drink. :-) desalination means take the salt out. get sea water heat it up water is evaporated and leaves behind salt. so you have fresh clean water ready to drink. :-)


Why filtering cannot be used to make sea water fit to drink?

There are some key words that need to be recognized here and the first would be the word 'Filtering, the second 'Fit to drink'. The content of sea water that makes it unfit to drink is its high concentration of salt (sodium chloride) which in large amounts in deadly if consumed. So naturally making the the sea water fit to drink would obviously mean removing the salt (sodium chloride).The reason why filtering can't be used is because filtering is used to remove any solids, as the salt has dissolved it can't be removed via filtration.A method that is commonly used to remove salt (sodium Chloride) from water is to evaporate the sea water, leaving behind the salt in the form of salt chrystals. Remembering to place a cool surface above where the water is evaporating from, that way the water condenses and can be dripped into a new container.

What does a water desalinated do?

A water desalination plant removes the salt content from sea water, so it's fit to drink.


How does your environment affect desalination?

global warming affects the sea level and that gives us less water to desalinate and it also effects the sea life so that is more harmful especially with desalination

Why is it more difficult to pull a boat on the sand than the sea?

It is so because the sand causes friction. So it slows down. Water in the sea has much less friction, that is why the boat just races along the water.


What temperature does it take to desalinate water?

For the desalination by distillation - the boiling point of water. For other methods the temperature is not so important.


What is product of desalinization?

Desalination usually produces fresh water and more concentrated brine, so the only real product is fresh water.


How can you make ocean water drinkable?

Ocean water can be made drinkable through desalination processes such as reverse osmosis or distillation. These methods remove salt and impurities from the water, making it safe for consumption. However, desalination can be expensive and energy-intensive, so it is not always feasible on a large scale.

Are desalinization and desalination interchangeable words?

Yes. Desalinization is a redundant and incorrect form, so desalination only should be used.
