It would seem the particulate matter is the greater issue hence the filtration route to desalination.I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that the three main methods of water purification are evaporation, freezing, and filtering. With regard to evaporation, here's a link on how to make a basic emergency still:

My idea would be to have a very tall tower, with a reflective surface at the top, and a heat-absorbing black surface at the bottom. Focused mirrors or lenses could superheat a pool of water, causing faster evaporation and high humidity.
Maybe it's broscience, but it seems to me that it should work.
