Quoting: TazzzToo bad we can't do that on a huge scale. Then get rid of the salt water & keep the oil. Salt water = worthless, Oil = $86 per barrel. |

I guess you could try to distill it first.. which should remove all pollutants.. Won't work because boiling points of some parts of the oil (pentan, hexan and octan) are near the water boiling point. |

BRIEF AND TO THE POINT User ID: 956493 ![]() 05/01/2010 05:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | yea I was thinking that Quoting: ^TrInItY^it will fuck reverse osmosis filters.. I guess you could try to distill it first.. which should remove all pollutants.. Yup, distillation is the answer... Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support! :Brieffromnativea: |
