Bulb Industrial Crude Solar Salt
East Coast Terminals
Description
Industrial Solar Salt is crude, undried production imported
from Great Inagua Island in the Bahamas or Brazil. The salt
is produced from Atlantic Ocean water impounded in open
shallow ponds where the brine is concentrated and
ultimately crystallized through slow evaporation by solar
heat and wind. Fractional crystallization and washing voids
much of the inorganic salt impurities present in ocean water.
Solar Salt tends to crystallize in a pyramidal aggregate
which breaks up with harvesting and handling to irregular,
somcwhat rectangular particles. Appearance is crystalline
to white with some incidence of a gray to tan shading.
Chemical Analysis
Industrial Solar Salt is not considered as food grade
sodium chloride due to a high moisture content, heavy
metals, the presence of biological residues, and exposure
to cross -contamination in ocean shipment.
