Claim 0:
1. A method for desalination of a liquid, the liquid having dissolved salt, the method comprising:
treating the liquid using at least one primary treatment process;
treating the liquid using at least one secondary treatment process, wherein treating the liquid using the at least one secondary treatment process comprises passing the liquid through at least one reactor; and
treating the liquid using at least one tertiary treatment process;
wherein treating the liquid using the at least one primary treatment process comprises adding at least one chemical additive to the liquid and adjusting a pH of the liquid to a minimum target pH level;
wherein treating the liquid using the at least one secondary treatment process comprises heating the liquid to a temperature of at least 350° F. and supplying a pressure to the liquid to maintain the liquid in a liquid state within the at least one reactor;
wherein treating the liquid using the at least one secondary treatment process comprises reacting dissolved salt of the liquid with at least a portion of the at least one chemical additive to form an insoluble product within the at least one reactor;
wherein heat is produced when the insoluble product is formed within that at least one reactor; and
wherein treating the liquid using the at least one tertiary treatment process comprises removing at least a portion of the insoluble product formed within the at least one reactor from the liquid.
