We have carried out a geochemical study on the behaviour of certain trace elements during the evaporative concentration of free brines (salinity from 41 to 400 ‰) of the solar salt works of Sfax saline (S.E of Tunisia). The elements concerned by this survey are Zinc, Cadmium, Manganese, Molybdenum...

A major solar salt works in Israel is located just north of the town of Eilat and close to the airport. This solar salt works has been in operation since 1977 and produces about 170,000 tons a year. A three-year study was initiated to examine the temporal and salinity impacts on the microbial...

Industria Salinera de Yucatan S.A. de C.V. (ISYSA) has its operation of primary production of salt by solar evaporation in Las Coloradas, Yucatan, Mexico, in the coast the northwest of the Yucatan Peninsula. One of the disadvantages of this location is the presence of extreme climatologic phenomena...

The commonly accepted brine concentration practice in most Chinese Northern solar works is to pump the sea water into salt works and then let it go through a physical changing process of natural evaporation, condensation and crystallization, during which, weather factor and the soil nature have to...

The Ninth International Symposium on Salt (www.worldsalt2009.com) organized by China National Salt Industry Corporation, China Salt Association and many other salt organizations of the world was held in the Beijing International Convention Center on the 4-7 September 2009. It is the ninth in a...

Halite–crystals produced in solar salts Works of Sfax Saline (E.S of TUNISIA), more often, contain fluid inclusions which fill inter– and intra–crystalline cavities and represent from 3 to 5 % in mass. With the sole aim of quantifying the impact of fluid inclusions on chemical quality of NaCl...
