  2. Open-pan salt making - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-pan_salt_making

    Coastal salt production, involving solar evaporation of seawater, followed by artificial evaporation of salt using the open-pan technique in structures known as 'salterns'. [ 3 ] Inland salt production , using brine from natural brine streams flowing over buried salt deposits that were pumped up from the ground and evaporated using the open-pan ...

  3. Salt evaporation pond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_evaporation_pond

    Salt pans are shallow and open, and metal pans are often used to evaporate brine. They are usually found close to the source of the salt. For example, pans used in the solar evaporation of salt from seawater are usually found on the coast, while those used to extract salt from solution-mined brine will be found near the brine shaft.

  4. Solar desalination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_desalination

    The process can be categorized based on the type of solar energy source utilized. In direct solar desalination, saline water absorbs solar energy and evaporates, leaving behind salt and other impurities. An example of this is solar stills, where an enclosed environment allows for the collection and condensation of pure water vapor.

  5. Solar-powered desalination unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-powered_desalination...

    Indirect solar desalination systems comprise two sub-systems: a solar collection system and a desalination system. The solar collection system is used, either to collect heat using solar collectors and supply it via a heat exchanger to a thermal desalination process, or to convert electromagnetic solar radiation to electricity using photovoltaic cells to power an electricity-driven ...

  6. Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crescent_Dunes_Solar...

    The project includes 10,347 heliostats that collect and focus the sun's thermal energy to heat molten salt flowing through an approximately 656-foot (200 m) tall [13] solar power tower. Each heliostat is made up of 35 6×6 feet (1.8 m) mirror facets, yielding a heliostat overall usable area of 1,245 square feet (115.7 m 2 ).

  7. Sea salt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_salt

    Sea salt is salt that is produced by the evaporation of seawater. It is used as a seasoning in foods, cooking, cosmetics and for preserving food. It is also called bay salt, [1] solar salt, [2] or simply salt. Like mined rock salt, production of sea salt has been dated to prehistoric times.

  8. Brine mining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brine_mining

    The total salt precipitated in solar evaporation at the Dead Sea plants is tens of millions of tons annually, but very little of the salt is marketed. Today, salt from groundwater brines is generally a byproduct of the process of extracting other dissolved substances from brines and constitutes only a small part of world salt production.

  9. Solar salt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_salt

    Solar salt may refer to: Sea salt, a salt produced by the evaporation of seawater; Solar salt, a eutectic molten salt mixture which is used for thermal energy storage
