When sea water is boiled only the water turns to steam, the salt is left behind. Then when the steam condenses back into liquid you get clean, distilled water that is safe, if a bit bland to drink.
Drinking water can be made from sea water either by reverse osmosis filtering, or vacuum distillation, but both are too slow and expensive to be very useful.
Desalination plants convert sea water into drinking water by distillation.
- preparation of drinking water from sea water or from dirty sources of water - preparation of distilled alcoholic drinks - the petrochemical industry is based in a great part on the distillation of petroleum - separation of components of a mixture by distillation - preparation of pure substances
Desalination is a common physical method used to purify sea water. It involves removing salts and minerals from sea water to make it suitable for drinking or other uses. Techniques such as reverse osmosis and distillation are commonly used in desalination plants.
Distillation is a method to obtain drinking water but in the past necessary installations were not known.
Desalination is the process of removing salt from sea water in order to make drinking water. The method of doing this typically uses reverse osmosis. Distillation is sometimes employed, usually using vacuum distillation.
separating salt from sea water.
well it is not gonna be cheap and it must use much energy. distillation seems the best way
simple distillation
Their are two processes, distillation and reverse osmosis.
distillation
The water part of salt-water will be evaporated in the sun just like normal water. What will remain is the salt.
