lol and what else

this process is already in use in dead sea chemical works and it's about separating magnesium, just this time it uses desalination brine as an input

so it gives some table salt, and depending on what you want it to output, potassium chloride, magnesium salts or metal, gypsum, lithium

Returned brine is damaging to seafloor so returning less salt is a net improvement
