Process and device for the desalination of sea water and obtaining energy and the raw materials contained in sea water. This invention is based on the principle of separating the ions contained in sea water using an electrostatic field into two separate solutions, each with ions of a given polarity, and conveying these to a conductor on which they are neutralized. The neutralized atoms are then further processed chemically to obtain hydrogen, alkaline lyes, earth alkaline lyes, earth alkaline metals and halogens.

A process for desalination of seawater, for obtaining energy from seawater and for recovery of raw materials contained in seawater, comprising the steps of: (a) drawing seawater from below into a chamber fitted with essentially vertical planar electrodes coated with a dielectric so that ions are deflected toward said electrodes by an electrostatic field between said electrodes; (b) passing said seawater through said electrostatic field so that said electrostatic field lies transverse to a direction of flow of said seawater through said electrostatic field and said ions are entrained by said flow; (c) collecting seawater streams enriched in anions and cations of said ions deflected toward said electrodes and entrained in said flow of seawater through said electrostatic field, thereby forming aqueous ion flows; (a) recovering a low-ion seawater current from the seawater flow through said electrostatic field; and (e) conveying said aqueous ion flows past conductors to discharge said aqueous ion flows electrically and pass said aqueous ion flows into a separation stage.
