halite salt processing
SALT PRODUCTION IN NIGERIA: THE OPPORTUNITIES.
In spite of the abundance of the sources of salt in the country, the processing of the commodity is still done locally by rural dwellers. Salt is obtained from two sources: rock salt and brine. Rock salt is simply crystallized salt, also known as halite. It is the result of the evaporation of ancient oceans millions of years ago.

Sylvite
Halite (NaCl) is the mineral form of sodium chloride and is commonly known as rock salt. Halite forms isometric crystals. The mineral is typically colorless or white, but may also be light blue, dark blue, purple, pink, red, orange, yellow, and gray depending on the amount and type of impurities ( Fig. 1.20 ).

Sylvite (KCl), galena (PbS), periclase (MgO) and several other minerals are isostructural with halite. Halite, a rock-forming mineral, occurs in salt flats, in sedimentary beds, in salt domes, and as deposits from volcanic gasses. Figure 14.304 shows halite deposited along the shores of the Dead Sea.

Experiments on mechanical properties of salt rocks
The maximum strain at the peak strength of rock salt (halite) is much greater than those of the other three rocks. The elastic moduli of halite, thenardite, glauberite and gypsum are 3.0, 4.2, 5.1 and 6.8 GPa, respectively. Under cyclic loading, the peak strengths of the rock specimens are deteriorated except for rock salt.

How is halite mined?
How is halite mined? Geology. Underground Halite deposits are often mined by drilling wells into the salt layer, and bringing in hot water which quickly dissolves the salt into a brine. The brine is saturated with dissolved salt and is then pumped out. The brine evaporates and the remainder salt crystallizes and is harvested.
