You just can't convert sea water to gold bar.. but there is possible way in the future, to turn rocks into gold. A species of bacteria is known to play a vital role in the formation of gold,. Scientists are trying to control the bacteria (perhaps tame it?), they believe this is the key to create gold from various resources. Millions of dollars are invested in this research.Im not sure about the name of the bacteria: Ralstonia metallidurans?
This is the type of bacteria I won't mind getting infected with it

Although there are a tremendous amount of minerals (and gold) dissolved in sea water, I'm not aware of any current method for removing the dissolved gold as you suggest. Anyway, you'd have to process such a HUGE amount of sea water, it couldn't possibly be financially feasible.

It is impossible because sea water has the compounds of H2O and NaCl together. It does not have the traces of Au. If there were traces of it in the water, you can filter it out and make a bar out of it. It is impossible for alchemy to occur.

Answer is you don't.
Realistically the trace amounts of Au don't make it feasible to even extract it. But the common sense answer is correct and more to the point.

Alchemists have been trying to find out for centuries; what makes you think it's possible?
