اقرأ أكثرSolution mining dissolves the salt in water, which is then evaporated to leave behind the crystals. Solar evaporation relies on sun and wind to evaporate water from salt pans, a method commonly used in warmer climates. Geologically, salt deposits are found in sedimentary layers often originating from ancient, dried-up seas or lakes.

اقرأ أكثرDuring the salt-making season of four to five months, brine flows continuously through these ponds. This is a saturated brine solution, containing as much salt as it can hold, so pure salt crystallizes out of the solution as the water evaporates. Natural chemical impurities are returned to the salt water source. Rock Salt Mining Method
اقرأ أكثرSince 2012, the State has been applying a brine solution (23.3% salt-water solution) to the roads before a forecasted snow event. Known as anti-icing, this practice prevents the formation of frost on pavement, and its implementation has been increasing across New England. Another alternative is the use a 50/50 salt and sand mixture.
