Yes, mineral salts can be recycled through processes like desalination, where they are extracted from seawater or brackish water.

Recycling mineral salts helps conserve resources and reduce the environmental impact of their extraction.
For example salts can be separated by crystallization.
Only some salts have hydrates, not all. These salts contain in the formula water of crystallization.
Mineral salts are not foods.
A hydrated salt contain water of crystallization.
Some sodium salts are minerals, but some are not, and and the distinction does not depend on the chemical composition of the salt.
