If you're meaning obtaining purified water from sea water i assume the process will be filtration.

Get a bowl and place a plastic wrap over it. Heat the saltwater. The water will evaporate turning into a gas.So the gas doesn't escape we put the wrapp, the water will stick to the plasticand you could just lick the plastic and it will be fresh

Sea water is infested with a lot of bacteria, there are 2 ways u can possibly drink it without getting sick

1. boil it. this will take away all the germs and bacteria

2. filter it. you can use a filtering water bottle or a life straw (if you don't know what a life straw is, see the link below.)

Note: The above answer is incorrect. While boiling (or pasteurization in general) does kill off most germs and bacteria and filtration does remove most bacteria, each is a necessary but insufficient process to create potability. Boiling the water alone will not remove the salt content which still makes the sea water non-potable. The same is true with filtration. In order to remove the salt, the water must be boiled and the steam collected in a condenser. The steam is re-liquified by cooling it in another container. The original container will still hold all of the salt, which is removed.

A simple home experiment is to dissolve salt in water. Then slowly heat the saline solution in a pan on the stove. As the water is evaporated away, eventually, salt crystals are left behind in the pan. From ancient times, huge areas were allowed to be flooded by sea water. Then the water was trapped. As the salt water evaporated, the salt crystals were skimmed off the surface.

Another source of salt was in mines, the remains of ancient shallow seas. Cheshire, England, is an important area of underground salt mines.

What desalinization mean?

Desalination is the process of extraction of salts (generally sodium chloride) from sea water to obtain drinkable water, water for indistry, water for agriculture. But desalination can be applied to petroleum, soils an other materials.

How is salt extracted from seawater?

If you leave the salt water in an evaporating basin the water will evaporate leaving you with big crystals of salt. To speed up the evaporating reaction you can heat it over a Bunsen Burner but your crystals of salt will the smaller.

by the process of evaporation. when sea water evaporates salt is left behind. same process is done at the shore of sea...


Which methods can be used to obtain fresh water from seawater?

The process of converting salt water to fresh water is called desalination and there is a lot of information on the subject. Mother nature turns salt water into fresh water everyday by evaporation of water from the oceans. Clouds, with water vapor, water droplets and ice crystals form from evaporation. Then, it rains or snows nearly pure water/ice. When humans artificially create pure water, the water is typically heated to drive the pure water off as water vapor and leave the salts behind. In chemistry, heating a liquid to vaporize it so that it condenses in a purer form is a process is called "distillation". Another process, more specifically for water, is reverse osmosis filtration through a series of differentially permeable membranes allowing pure water to pass while trapping salts and other impurities. When any process is used to remove salts from seawater, the process is called desalination.
