Desalination is the process of removing salt and other impurities from saltwater to produce fresh water. In a saltwater still, the saltwater is heated, causing it to evaporate and leave the salt behind. The vapor is then condensed back into liquid form, resulting in fresh water that is free of salt.

How do desalination plants contribute to global warming?

Desalination plants, turning sea water into fresh water, use a lot of energy. Most electricity is still produced by burning fossil fuels, which release carbon dioxide emissions. These extra emissions are causing global warming.


How long can tomatoes and melons be preserved in a refrigerated compartment and still be offered for sale as fresh produce?

I don't believe there are any laws regarding how old produce has to be before it can't be sold as 'fresh' produce. Refrigeration should not have anything to do with that. The saleability of the produce is generally left up to the produce manager.


What do ships do to make salt water into fresh water?

They have desalination equipment. Desalination can be done in several ways -- distillation, reverse osmosis, nanofiltration and others. I'm not sure if it still is but not long ago ships used multiple stage flash distilling units. Seawater is heated to about 170 degrees F and sprayed into a chamber that's at a vacuum. Some of the water flashes into vapor and is collected as distilled water, the remaining, now saltier, water is pumped to the next stage and the process repeated.

Are the tomatoes at the groccery stores really fresh?

Technically, they are fresh because they aren't canned. However most tomatoes that make it to supermarkets are picked while still green and ripened artificially. Does that make them fresh? Unless they have soft spots they aren't spoiled but truly fresh tomatoes may only be available if you grow your own or know of a good produce market that's supplied locally.
