If freezing salt water produces freshwater ice, why is desalinization such a difficult problem?

I was watching the above minute physics video, and they indicated in a brief one sentence line that saltwater freezes into freshwater ice. That got me thinking.

Under what circumstances could you actually freeze salt into ice? To make salt ice?

Please at least try to google it if you “learn” something from random YouTube videos

Salt lowers the freezing temp of water, so you would need to freeze it below 32 degrees.

That takes more energy to desalinate that way than a desalinator…

Like, what you’re doing is like asking why starving people don’t just order some food off Uber Eats…

Sounds like being “an asshat” to you then go ahead and block me. I’m gonna do the same so I never accidentally answer a question for you. So feel free not to, I’ll literally never know.

It’s pretty condescending imo.

You don’t think this is asshat behavior? It’s a real dick move to say something like that in a community for “no stupid questions”.

…then go ahead and block me. I’m gonna do the same so I never accidentally answer a question for you. So feel free not to, I’ll literally never know.

Alright, bye then. Your eagerness to block and run away tells me that you know I’m right but you don’t want to accept it. It’s okay to make mistakes, we all do. You just gotta apologize, that’s all.

this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

Lol, good info in the middle two sentences, way too much judging on either side. This guy is here to ask a question significantly more involved than “How to tie shoes”, the example in the sidebar, and you treat him like an idiot. Nice.

There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don’t be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

  • ex. How do I change oil
  • ex. How to tie shoes
  • ex. Can you cry underwater?

Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!


Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn’t read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.
