FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention can be used to produce and burn hydrogen from salty water or salt-containing solutions, for evaporation of secondary fuel present in salt-containing solutions, for desalination of sea and salty water, for producing steam and for producing hydrogen from salty water. The method of treating a solution of water and ions involves use of a radio frequency (RF) device to transmit energy of a transmitted RF signal to the treated solution, wherein water is decomposed and combustible hydrogen gas is formed and then burnt. The device has a RF generator (102) configured to generate a RF signal for transmission from a transmitting head (104) to a receiving head (112) and transmitting the RF signal with phase shift from the transmitting head to the receiving head, having sufficient power for burning the combustible gas. The position of the transmitting (104) and receiving (112) heads is regulated relative the solution so that the transmitted RF signal interacts with at least a portion of the solution. The coupling circuit (116) which connects the RF generator (102) and the transmitting head (104) is configured to increase voltage of the RF signal and contains at least one inductance coil meant for shifting the current and voltage phases of the RF signal relative each other. The RF signal is transmitted over a period of time sufficient for decomposition of at least a portion of the solution.
EFFECT: invention enables to use heat from burning volatile components obtained from solutions containing salty water.
