  • The Changing Technology of Post Medieval Sea Salt Production in England
    1 Heritage, Uses and Representations of the Sea. Centro de Investigação Transdisiplinar Cultura, Espaço e Memoría (CITCEM) Porto, Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto, 20-22 October 2011. The changing technology of post medieval sea salt production in England Jeremy Greenwood Composition of seawater Sea water contains 3.5% evaporites of which salt (sodium chloride) comprises 77.8%. The remainder is known as bittern as it includes the bitter tasting, aperient and deliquescent sulphates of magnesium (Epsom salt) and sodium (Glauber’s salt) as well as about 11% magnesium chloride. 2 Successful commercial salt making depends on the fractional crystallisation of seawater producing the maximum amount of salt without contamination by bittern salts. As seawater is evaporated, very small amounts of calcium carbonate are precipitated followed by some calcium sulphate. This is followed by the crystallisation of sodium chloride but before this is complete, bitter Epsom salt appears; something that needs to be avoided.1 In Continental Europe, evaporation of sea water is achieved solely by the energy of the wind and sun but this is not possible in the English climate so other techniques were developed. 1 http://www.solarsaltharvesters.com/notes.htm SOLAR SALT ENGINEERING 3 Evaporation vessel Briquetage The earliest known English method of coastal saltmaking has been found in the late Bronze Age. This involved boiling seawater in crude clay dishes supported by clay firebars (briquetage) and was widespread in Europe. This technique continued into the Iron Age and into the Roman period with variations inevitably occurring in the industry, although the dating of saltworks is very problematical.2 Detailed interpretation continues to be a matter of dispute.

  • Seawater Bittern a Precursor for Magnesium Chloride Separation

They could be described as “exhausted brines”. In theory, for every ton of sea-salt produced about one cubic meter of bittern is produced and is available for further processing. To exploit valuable salt products, in particular MgCl2 from sea water in desalination plants and/or salt production, various methods were carried out, in particular by the author and his colleagues. Mainly they consist in applying the physical concept of preferential-type of salt separation, where Mg Cl2 is the most soluble salt, will separate at the very end. An experimental work was initiated by Kettani and Abdel-Aal and extended by Abdel-Aal et al. Two case studies are presented and discussed in this paper. Keywords: Desalination; Exhausted brines; Magnesium chloride out, yielding about 75% of the available sodium chloride (known as halide) in solution.

  • HOW TO: Salt and Preservatives in Organic Food
    What should I know about using salt and preservatives in organic food? Salt plays an important role in processed food products both for its flavoring properties and as a preservative. For those reasons both salt and sea salt are allowed in organic products as long as the salt or sea salt does not have any prohibited additives. Here we discuss the use of salt, prohibited additives, and answer common questions. Are additives allowed in the salt I use in my organic products? Though salt and sea salt are allowed in all categories of organic products, anti-caking/free-flow agents and whiteners are generally not allowed in these products. Common anti-caking/free- flow agents that are not allowed include: • Calcium silicate • Ferric ammonium citrate • Sodium ferrocyanide • Magnesium silicate • Magnesium carbonate • Propylene glycol • Aluminum calcium silicate • Sodium aluminosilicate Makers of organic products must be able to show that the salt does not contain any of the above flow agents, anti-caking agents, or any whiteners. The producer may need to contact the manufacturer of the salt to get a statement of what is in the salt, or may be required to locate a salt that is free of whiteners and anti-caking and flow agents. There is one exception to this rule, salt formulated with magnesium carbonate is allowed in products labeled as “made with organic ingredients.” However, using salt formulated with magnesium carbonate is prohibited in products labeled “organic” (products containing at least 95% organic ingredients) or “100% organic”. It is possible that salt could be formulated with an anti-caking or flow agent not on the list above.

Marina and Lopez [6] Salt is one of the oldest minerals discovered and used compared with XRF and ICP methods of phosphorus by human. It has been used to sweeten and hide of nutri- amounts in ceramic raw material. They reported that tion from old. Depending on the formation, salts may be there are obtained quotable results by both methods and named as lake, sea, rock, source, Himalayan salt. Lake sensitivity of XRF is high due to the fact that XRF ac- salt is obtained from old sea areas or from salty water count for smaller error in sample preparation.

  • The Appropriate Size of Saltworks to Meet Environmental and Production Requirements
    04_moinier.qxd 27/7/2000 1:17 Page 49 THE APPROPRIATE SIZE OF SALTWORKS TO MEET ENVIRONMENTAL AND PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS by Bernard Moinier General Secretary, European Salt Producers Assosiation (ESPA) 17, rue Dark, F-75008 Paris INTRODUCTION Sea salt or solar salt (when obtained from salt lakes) depends on the evapora- tion of saline water thanks to insolation and dry wind blowing and its subse- quent crystallisation. Salt field size has to meet the following features for con- denser and crystalliser establishment: (a) large littoral territory characterised by flat block of impervious soil with deep sea anchorage nearby, (b) climate favouring high evaporation rate with little rainfall when salt is being harvested. Weather and market conditions oblige modern salt producers to optimise tech- nical factors impacting on salt itself. Saltworks1 require to be designed and operated by taking into account a major factor, their size. The surface of a num- ber of saltworks located around the Mediterranean basin is too small for the introduction of mechanical means and processes, which would make their oper- ation more efficient thanks to reduced cost and increased capacity. It is crystal-clear that there is no future for salt manufactured in cottage units using labour intensive methods with no quality control. Large plants employing modern methods of production based on mechanisation, computerisation and quality control are, since the advent of the industrial revolution, in a position to supply a large number of outlets, like the chloralkali industry, which is the main source of salt production in various countries. Size adjustments depending on local conditions are possible further to specific 1Although salinas is also in use, saltworks will be retained as the most common wording in the salt industry.
