  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.
