What is Salt?
Chemical properties of salt, sodium chloride. The site also contains links to
other places with information about salt chemistry.
What is salt? Sodium chloride ( ) or common is the chemical compound NaCl, composed of the elements sodium and chloride ( )
Salt occurs naturally in many parts of the world as the mineral ( ) halite ( ) and as mixed evaporites in salt lakes
has lots of salt; it contains an average of 2.7% (by weight) NaCl, or 78 million metric tons per cubic kilometer, an inexhaustible supply (note: seawater also contains other dissolved solids; salt represents about 77% of the Total Dissolved Solids)
Some salt is one the surface, the dried-up residue of ancient seas like the famed in Utah
Salt even arrives on earth from outer space in and its presence on the planet makes scientists think life may exist there (in fact, scientists speculate that live in underground water on Mars -- as they have )
Conversely, surface salt depositions and man-made saltworks can be seen from space
Table salt consists of tightly through ionic bonding ( ) of the sodium and chloride ions
Many online science pages offer instruction on growing salt crystals ( )
Other graphics of salt crystals are also available online ( )
And salt crystals have been photographed under a microscope ( ) Different types of crystal have different uses, as

Wieliczka Salt Mine
Information about air pollution within the mine, and attempts to stop it.
Air Pollutant Intrusion into the Wieliczka Salt Mine The Wieliczka Salt Mine, located in southern Poland near the city of Krakow, has been worked as a source of rock salt since the late 13th century
Over the centuries, miners have established a tradition of carving sculptures out of the native rock salt
Today, many of the salt sculptures are slowly dissolving
Water vapor present in the ventilation air in the mine is being absorbed into the rock salt at several locations in the mine, causing erosion of the carved salt surfaces
One question faced by the study team is whether or not there is any significant soiling or chemical attack on the statuary that might alter the hygroscopic character of the salt
Rock salt develops a liquid film on its surface and begins to dissolve when the relative humidity of the surrounding air reaches approximately 75%
Airborne ionic substances (e.g., nitrates) having relative humidities of deliquescence below that of rock salt could deposit onto the sculptures to an extent that the deliquescence point of the salt surface is lowered
The purpose of our current research is to examine the transport of air pollutants from the outdoor atmosphere into the mine, and the subsequent deposition of those pollutants onto the surfaces in the mine, with an eye toward determining whether or not the deliquescence point of the salt would be significantly affected by the pollutant deposition processes

GourmetSleuth - Guide to Culinary Salts
A cook's guide to culinary salt including descriptions, photographs and suggested
substitutions.
culinary salt - a cooks guide Culinary Salt As we browse recipes it is common to see other types of salts besides common table salt in the ingredient list
The most common variations are Kosher and Sea Salt
This is a pictorial guide to the types of salts and their suggested application in a recipe
Culinary Salt Descriptions How Salt Is Made All culinary salts are derived by evaporation
Table salt is made by driving water into a salt deposit (in a mine)
The salt is then refined
Kosher salt is made in a similar fashion except the brine is raked continually during the evaporation process
Sea salt is evaporated sea water
All salts are nutritionally the same
Sea salt has trace amounts of minerals not found in mined salt
Black salt named Kala Namak in India, is really a blend of minerals characterized by a strong sulfur odor
Fleur de Sel de Guérande is the premier quality of Grey Sea Salt from France
Before the evaporation process is complete a light film of salt forms
(See more about Grey salt below)
g r e y s e a s a l t Grey salt (sometimes sold as " gray " salt) sel gris is organic sea salt from the coastal area of Guérande, Brittany, France

An article about the problems with preserving the monuments in the Wieliczka Salt Mine.
April 27, 1996 A Salty Heritage: Licking the problem of Poland's melting treasures By Janet Raloff In the 6 centuries preceding widespread mechanical refrigeration, a succession of Polish monarchs enhanced their fame, wealth, and cultural glory by trading in salt
Indeed, beginning in 1689, the mine employed a priest to hold daily masses in one of the earliest excavated salt chambers
Over the centuries, the resulting freestanding statues, bas-relief carvings, and immense chandeliers--all carved from salt--have gained worldwide artistic and cultural renown
Anthony's carvings, Milne told Science News, this salt mine could very well become the first World Heritage site to be removed from the endangered list
"The Wieliczka salt mines are perhaps the most amazing cultural resource in the world, " she says
Throughout are gleaming walls, floors, and ceilings--of naturally dark salt
From April through October, the humid air accompanying elevator loads of sightseers, along with the increased ventilation air, quickly condenses onto the cooler salt surfaces in the upper regions of the mine

Includes an overview, general properties, reactivity trends, and information
about the industrial electrolysis of sodium chloride solution.
'Halogens' means ' salt formers' and the most common compound is sodium chloride which is found from natural evaporation as huge deposits of 'rock salt' or the even more abundant 'sea salt' in the seas and oceans

After descending 210 feet, we saw the first veins of rock salt, in a bed of clay and crumbled sandstones
Thirty feet more, and we were in a world of salt
Level galleries branched off from the foot of the staircase; overhead, ceiling of solid salt, under foot a floor of salt, and on either side dark gray walls of salt, sparkling here and there with minute crystals
Anthony, the oldest in the mines---a Byzantine excavation, supported by columns with altar, crucifix, and life-size statues of saints, apparently in black marble, but all as salt as Lot's wife, as I discovered by putting my tongue to the nose of John the Baptist
Everything was solid salt except where great piers of hewn logs had been built up to support some threatening roof, or vast chasm, left in quarrying, had been bridged across

Tortoise - Post-Rock
Article about the group and full discography. [English/Italian]
Si è già detto di "Djed", "manifesto" del sound ambizioso e cervellotico dei Tortoise ma anche dell'eccentrismo che pervade le loro piéce (sconcertante, ad esempio, l'effetto del rumore del cd che "salta" la traccia, ma anche il continuo ricorso a timbriche irregolari)
In tal senso è musica tranquilla, non tanto per la quiete dei toni scelti (anzi il brano conclusivo "Salt The Skies" è trascinato da un riff quasi ), quanto perché è incapace di stupire o disturbare l’ascoltatore, puntando invece a rassicurarlo
L’ultimo pezzo, "Salt The Skies", inizia in maniera placida, ma si trasforma in breve in un tirato rimescolato in salsa kraut, come a dire" beh, le abbiamo provate tutte"
