The Difference Between Distillation and Desalination

The difference between distillation and desalination is distillation is the action of separating a solution by heating or cooling and desalination is the removal of salt from salt water. That is the difference between distillation and desalination.

  1. There is a significant similarities between the two, distillation involves heating the water so that only the pure water can be evaporated as steam hence leaving behind the solute. On the other hand "disalination" can also be gotten from distillation in the sense that a salty water can also be heated to be distilled leaving behind the salt as a solute.
