The waste products of burning salt water would be water and salt. And that's exactly the problem Iron Greasel points at.

I won't repeat his explanation, but I'll agree that based on what we can reasonably assume, you can't generate energy from salt water by first splitting and then reassembling it any more than you can shine a bright lamp at a solar panel and expect to generate enough energy to power the lamp with it.
