Rock salt is ground, dissolved in water, the solution is filtered and this solution is refined by successively
processes of crystallization/recrystallization, to obtain sodium chloride (table salt) 99,99 %; and finally this salt is iodized and some anticaking substances are added.
A simple method involve filtering of the water solution and refining by repeated processes of crystallization/recrystallization.
Pure salt is obtained by refining: grinding of rock salt, dissolving, filtering, crystallization/recrystallization.
The rock salt is grinded, dissolved in water, the solution is filtered and refined by repeated processes of crystallization/recrystallization.
By evaporating the water of the solution and condensing it.
Generally rock salt is more impure than table salt.
Rock salt and table salt are both sodium chloride - NaCl; table salt is the pure form of rock salt.
Because is not recommended to eat dirty salt.
It's really try it and you will find out relative
Rock salt contains all the minerals found in the seawater from which it formed. These will be many, but NaCl will be the main one.
It is a house which helps rock salt turn into pure salt!
This is possible only after the determination of impurities in the rock salt.
Two problems exist: - Collapse of the mine roof - Flooding the mine and salt dissolution
The luster of rock salt is Vitreous (glassy)
This percentage is determined by chemical analysis; for some salt mines this percentage is over 99 %.
Dissolving tanks, filters and crystallization/recrystallization equipments.
