Industrial salt has a staggering list of applications, and with several hundred million tonnes of salt mined or produced annually, it is no wonder that rock salt, or halite, is available from a variety of different sources. Industrial salt may be a fairly inexpensive commodity, but the widespread application of rock salt has increased the quality control and labor practices worldwide. Two Ways To Produce Industrial Salt There are basically two ways to produce industrial salt on a large scale. The first is to evaporate salt from widely available sea water in large geographical basins. The second is the mining […]

Although most household consumers are not aware of the varied applications of industrial salt, thousands of major businesses require industrial salt for the manufacturing of goods, and the availability of services. Consumers are well aware of the transportation safety applications of industrial salt, from deicing the wings of passenger airplanes to spreading a layer of brine on potentially icy roads. Businesses which only require small amounts of salt at first, are beginning to perceive the advantages of buying salt in bulk, as the remainder of global salt usage is primarily held by manufacturing organizations. Rock Salt is required for making […]

Rock Salt has been around for a while, but since this product has so many widespread uses, the salt industry has become more competitive over time. This motivates manufacturers and consumers alike to determine the most competitive uses for industrial salt. Industrial salt uses In the oil industry, salt is used to increase the density of mud and soil, which creates a more safe and efficient drilling rig. Although salt may not be used extensively in off-shore drilling, enormous amounts of salt are required to facilitate drilling on land. Pharmaceutical companies also use salt in the process of making capsules, […]

The essential components of rock salt, sodium and chlorine are essential elements for the operation of a large number of modern industries. In a previous article we landed on very important uses: rock salt for deicing and common uses. Rock salt is used in a number of processes for multiple applications, not only as a preservative but also as raw material or as a participant for proper working of facilities. The industry that consumes the largest amount of rock salt is by far the chemical industry. Obtaining chlorine and caustic soda is needed before using it in multiple applications or […]

As we mentioned in our article on rock salt uses, one of the most important applications of Rock Salt is for use in water treatment. In every country water supplies contain a high percentage of calcium and magnesium, which are very harmful for the life of equipment components and products requiring the use of this water. To avoid this, in the market there are many water treatment systems that use it as a raw material. This use is essential to maintain the efficiency of resins that help to provide us with softer water. This water will be better to keep […]
