Salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride that enhances the taste of food and is essential for seasoning. It can be extracted through various methods like solar evaporation, rock salt mining, or evaporating seawater. The global industrial salt market is expected to grow to $14.93 billion by 2023, as salt is used widely in chemical processing, de-icing, water treatment, agriculture, and other industries due to its low cost and abundant availability.

2. • Salt is one of the essential ingredient when it comes
to the seasoning of food as it enhances the taste of
the food.
• Salt that has gone through the process of refinement in
order to eliminate any impurities so as for it to be good for
consumption and also suitable in the seasoning and
preservation of food is the best form of salt.
• Salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride
(NaCl) and it is a chemical compound belonging to the
larger class salts. It occurs naturally in foodstuffs such as
vegetables, meats and fruits and it is present in very small
quantities.
The methods of processing
salt include solar method,
rock salt mining method and
evaporation method.
Salt can be processed either
through evaporation, solar or
rock salt mining depending on
whichever method applied salt
is derived when the methods
listed above is carried out.

10. Industrial Salt
The overall Industrial salts market is expected to
grow from USD 12.70 billion in 2017 to USD 14.93
billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 2.8% from 2017 to
2022. Industrial salts are manufactured by the use
of natural resources such as rock salt deposits or
natural brine such as sea water and salty lakes.
These are produced by conventional mining,
vacuum evaporation or solar evaporation
processes. Industrial salts are used in the chemical
processing, de-icing, water treatment, oil & gas,
agriculture among others owing to their availability
in large quantities and cost-effectiveness.
