De-icing is defined as removal of snow, ice or frost from a surface. Anti-icing is understood to be the application of chemicals that not only de-ice, but also remain on a surface and continue to delay the reformation of ice for a certain period of time, or prevent adhesion of ice to make mechanical removal easier.
De-icing can be accomplished by mechanical methods (scraping, pushing); through the application of heat; by use of dry or liquid...

The salt that is produced by mother natures has a rich and deep history. Since the beginning of time salt was an important element for creatures that roam the earth. In ancient times, Crystal Salt was also known as King Salt. It was only used for royalty because of its demand and rarity. Common man had access to Rock Salt which is less refine. Salt has played a major role not only in dining, but also in medicines.
In today time Natural Salt is...

A mineral lick (also known as salt lick or natural lick) is a natural mineral deposit where animals in nutrient-poor ecosystems can obtain essential mineral nutrients. In an ecosystem, salt/mineral licks often occur naturally, providing the sodium, calcium, iron, phosphorus and zinc required in the springtime for bone, muscle and other growth in deer and other wildlife, such as moose, elephants, Tapir, cattle, woodchucks, domestic sheep, fox squirrels,...

This is the common name for the mineral “halite”. Its chemical formula is NaCl. You might know this substance as table salt. and… Actually, rock salt is not K2SO4; it is NaCl. It can have impurities of gypsum (CaSO4) and sylvite (KCl) but it is very rare to find potassium sulfate as a mineral, although occasionally polyhalite (K2Ca2Mg(SO4)4.2H2O) is found associated with rock salt deposits. It is formed by the evaporation of salty water (such...

Gypsum is a soft sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, with the chemical formula CaSO4·2H2O.[3] It can be used as a fertilizer, is the main constituent in many forms of plaster and is widely mined.Gypsum is moderately water-soluble (~2.0–2.5 g/l at 25°C) and, in contrast to most other salts, it exhibits a retrograde solubility, becoming less soluble at higher temperatures. When gypsum is heated in air it loses water and converts...

A mineral is a naturally occurring substance that is solid and stable at room temperature, representable by a chemical formula, usually abiogenic, and has an ordered atomic structure. It is different from a rock, which can be an aggregate of minerals or non-minerals and does not have a specific chemical composition. The exact definition of a mineral is under debate, especially with respect to the requirement a valid species be abiogenic, and to...

A salt lamp is simply a chunk of mined salt that has been hollowed out to allow room for a lightbulb or tiny candle. The light glows through the medium of the salt crystal, which can range in color from a dark salmon pink to a pale orange. Salt crystals for salt lampsare mined in Russia and central Europe as well as in the Himalayas. Salt lamps make attractive accent lights. Their main attraction, however, is that the heating of the salt causes...

The essential components of rock salt, sodium and chlorine are essential elements for the operation of a large number of modern industries.
In a previous article we landed on very important uses: rock salt for deicing and common uses.
Rock salt is used in a number of processes for multiple applications, not only as a preservative but also as raw material or as a participant for proper working of facilities.
The industry that consumes the largest...

Since the beginning of times, humans have found more than 14.000 different uses for rock salt. For every period in our history, salt has had different, important values, and such values have been evolving to this day.
In each historical period humans found a new use for rock salt to increase their life quality.
But the main point is that salt is still as important in our life as it was before.Salt has a vital importance in human and animal...

Iodine, as rock salt, seems to have really important effects on health. Its effects on the thyroid gland are well known. Such is just one of the many reasons to iodize rock salt. The objective of iodization is to strengthen rock salt by adding some other necessary minerals.
There are many ills caused by a lack of iodine in consumed rock salt. Some examples are inflammation of the neck glands, memory loss, etc.
Globally, iodine deficit affects...
