Abstract: Spectral spaces, introduced by Hochster, are topological spaces homeomorphic to the prime spectra of commutative rings. In this paper we study spectral spaces in perspective of idempotent semirings which are algebraic structures receiving a lot of attention due to its several applications to tropical geometry. We first prove that a space is spectral if and only if it is the emph{prime k-spectrum} of an idempotent semiring. In fact, we enrich Hochster's theorem by constructing a subcategory of idempotent semirings which is antiequivalent to the category of spectral spaces. We further provide examples of spectral spaces arising from sets of congruence relations of semirings. In particular, we prove that the emph{space of valuations} and the emph{space of prime congruences} on an idempotent semiring are spectral, and there is a natural bijection of sets between the two; this shows a stark difference between rings and idempotent semirings. We then develop several aspects of commutative algebra of semirings. We mainly focus on the notion of emph{closure operations} for semirings, and provide several examples. In particular, we introduce an emph{integral closure operation} and a emph{Frobenius closure operation} for idempotent semirings.
