Salt (sodium chloride,
NaCl), occurs in nature in solid form as rock salt (halite), or in solution as
brine. Rock salt occurs in beds, commonly associated with mudstone, up to
several hundred metres in thickness. Natural brine is produced by the
dissolution of salt-bearing strata by circulating groundwater or by solution
mining which entails injecting water into salt beds and pumping out the
resulting salt solution. This may contain up to 26% NaCl when fully
saturated.
