Yes, but in some sense you boil the water out of the salt!
By boiling the water, the water turns to steam and rising, but the salt does not, and so it stays behind. If you have a way to collect the steam and turn it back into water, you will have pure water! This is called distillation.
You can do the same thing just using evaporation. If you have water that is evaporating, but put a cool object nearby where the water can recondense, and then you collect the condensed water, the collected water will have no salt in it.
They even sell solar stills to do this. See the Web Link to left for more about this.
What else can I help you with?
How long does it take to purify water?
It takes a while to purify water
Does the sun heat fresh water and salt water at the same time?
The sun heats both fresh water and salt water through a process called solar radiation. However, salt water has a higher heat capacity and can hold more heat than fresh water. This means that salt water will heat up more slowly than fresh water, but it will also retain heat for a longer period of time. In general, both types of water will eventually reach the same temperature when exposed to the same amount of sunlight.
In distillation a liquid and then condenses?
correct! distillation is the prosses of evaporating a liquid to purify it then recondence it back to a liquid. This prosses can be used for removing salt from water.
Describe ways to purify water?
The easiest way is to boil it lightly for AT LEAST 30 minutes. Then wait for it to cool down and it should be safe to drink. This works best if it is salt water.
Add salt to water and get pure water back?
you should distille the water ( heat the water so it evaporates and let it condensate into a cup or a mirror)
How you purify salt?
Salt is refined by the filtration of the water solution and repeated crystallization/recrystallization processes.
Is it possible to purify salt water using sine waves technology?
no
How do you purify salt from salt mines?
After the dissolution in water the refining involve filtration and processes of crystallization/recrystallization.
How can you purify water that has been contaminated with salt and microorganisms?
You can separate the water from the mixture through evaporation.
How do you purify rock salt to get pure crystal salt?
rock salt is actually salt and not any type of rock. large size salt crystals are reffered to as rock salt because it is hard like rocks. its actually jsut large salt crystals. if you are looking to purify your salt you could always heat a pot of water and disolve the rock salt in it. once no more salt will desolve you can decant the salt water (poor the clear liguid off leaving behind the other stuff) into another pot leaving behind the impurities. then boil the salt water to evaporate the water leaving behind the pure salt crystals. Actually, the way to do it is. First mix the rock salt with water. The salt will dissolve and the rocks will stay. Filter it and the salt water will go through. Evaporate it and the salt will be left.
How could mokhtar purify the salt again?
The sand can be extracted by filtration and the salt solution left can be heated to evaporate the water and leave the salt behind
Which holds more heat salt water or fresh water?
Salt water holds more heat than fresh water
how do you seperate solid salt and water?
Heat the water and salt, the water will evaporate and the salt will remain
How do you purify salt water using things in a ships kitchen?
your a dub butt if you belive in this stuff.
product of neutralisation?
Acid + Basic ----> Salt + Water + Heat
How do you purify salt to make it edible?
The refining of the impure salt involve filtration of the water solution and the purification by repeated processes of crystallization/recrystallization.
What holds heat longer salt water or fresh water?
Salt Water, do to its small salt particles which not only the water holds the heat ,but the salt particles TOO!!! Most brines for heat transfer systems are very heavily salted solutions to the point where there is more salt than water [by weight] in them.
