What is the process whereby salt is removed from salt water​

Physics
1 answer:
Nady [450]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:The process of purifying sea water into fresh water is called Desalination, which essentially means removing the salt from water.

There are two main industrial size process for desalination, one is thermal desalination which is distillation using heat and the other is with Reverse Osmosis or RO using water pressure through membranes.

In some places they’re doing inverse osmosis, which needs lots and lots of energy, maybe being in a sunny place.

Evaporation is a also a good method for removing salt from sea water but that is used only in low consumption of water.Israel is currently using the desalination process successfully and there is a plant that I read about near San Diego, CA.

Here some methods are help to removing salt from sea water

Turning Salt water into Drinking water using Solar power

The MIT team's this new desalination technology "electrodialysis" is comparatively less expensive.

Graphene Sieve turns Seawater into Drinking water

A new research shows graphene can filter common salts from water to make it safe to drink.The new findings could lead to affordable desalination technology.

Graphene-oxide membranes have attracted considerable attention as promising candidates for new filtration technologies. Now the much sought-after development of making membranes capable of sieving common salts has been achieved.

New research demonstrates the real-world potential of providing clean drinking water for millions of people who struggle to access adequate clean water sources.

Explanation: Thanks and good luck.

dem82 [27]

Answer:

<em>Time =  5 seconds</em>

<em>Distance = 50 meters</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constantly Accelerated Motion</u>

When the velocity of a moving object changes at a constant rate, called acceleration, the velocity changes in same amounts in the same times. The question has a mistake when asking when the acceleration is 20 m/s. If the acceleration is constant, the only variable that can change to that value is the velocity. The equation to calculate the speed is

v_f=v_o+a.t

And the distance s is

\displaystyle s=v_o.t+\frac{gt^2}{2}

Given the object starts from rest, vo=0 and vf=20 m/s at a=4\ m/s^2. We compute t

\displaystyle t=\frac{v_f-v_o}{a}=\frac{20-0}{4}

\boxed{t=5\ sec}

Now we compute s

\displaystyle s=0+\frac{4\times 5^2}{2}

\boxed{s=50\ m}

Do comets have a liquid center
Serhud [2]

Answer: Comets are basically floating chunks of ice, dust, and frozen gases. So, when comets are in space they cannot melt, So I'll say no :)

You observe that a negatively charged plastic pen repels a charged piece of magic tape. You then observe that the same piece of
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

(2) The excess negative charge from the sphere spread out all over your body.

(7) After you touched it, the metal sphere was very nearly neutral.

Explanation:

Plastic pen repels magic tape so magic tape is also  negatively charged . Further , magic tape repels small metal sphere that means small sphere also is negatively charged.

Now when small sphere is touched by a man insulated from ground , the charge is distributed between man and small sphere according to their capacitance .

Since human body will have greater capacitance ,it will acquire larger share of charge . Sphere being of very small size will retain very less charge and it will become almost neutral . Hence it will be   attracted by  charged tape .
