Separating seawater through desalination

Chemistry assignment: The mixture selected in this assignment is seawater obtained from the hydrosphere. The seawater can be separated through out several processes, both chemically and physically. The separation process is known as desalination. This name is getting more common everyday, as the Australian water demand grows with population we can no longer ignore the salinity problem. Desalination process could take use of the salt concentrated water, turning them into fresh water. Industrial Separation Procedure: 1.&…
