desalinize
Extract ocean minerals
Desalinize means to remove salt from something, especially seawater.
The word appears most often in discussions of water treatment: Coastal cities desalinize ocean water to supplement freshwater supplies.
Desalinate is more common in technical contexts, but both forms are standard.
