Evaporation

Uses of evaporation -to get salt from seawater

The solid left behind as the residue

Evaporation is used to separate a dissolved solid from a liquid. The dissoled solid must be stable to heat and not decompose.

Reverse Osmosis

In reverse osmosis, sea water is pre-treated to remove debris and contaminants

Fractional Distillation

Uses of fractional distillation: -To separate crude oil

Fractional distillation is used to separate more than two liquids in a mixture of miscible liquids.

Distillation

Uses of distillation -To make perfumes -Desalination plants
