desalt
\desalt\ v.
to remove the salt from (a solution of salt).
Note: This term is used in a more general sense than
desalinate, which usually refers to the removal of
common salt (sodium chloride) from a water solution,
such as sea water. Desalt is commonly used to refer to
any laboratory or industrial process in which any salt
may be removed from a mixture of substances dssolved in
a solvent, usually water. It is thus used as a method
of purification in chemical processes. The methods for
desalting are very varied.
Syn: desalinate, desalinize.
