Reply to comment by Caucasiafro in ELI5 Why is desalination so hard? by MiloFrank76
Most large scale desalination is reverse osmosis, which produces a very salty brine rather than solid deposits of anything. Further processing and refining of minerals from this would also be very resource intensive as well as complex. There is a lot of research going on in this area as well.
