Salt producers use three basic technologies to create salt for its myriad uses. Now-buried dried-up oceans of geologic ages past have left many areas, under both land and sea, with concentrated salt sedimentary layers which can exceed fifty feet in thickness. Two technologies exploit these underground deposits: conventional shaft mining where miners go underground to remove solid rock salt and solution mining where water is pumped underground dissolving the solid salt and then pumping out the salty brine which is de-watered to crystallize the salt.

The third method extracts salt from oceans and saline lakes, growing salt crystals much as a farmer grows crops of vegetables or grain. Respectively, the products of these technologies are known as rock salt, evaporated salt (or vacuum pan salt) and solar (or sea) salt.

“Domestic Production and Use: Domestic production of salt increased by 8% in 2013. The total value was estimated to be about $1.6 billion. Twenty-eight companies operated 61 plants in 16 States. The estimated percentage of salt sold or used, by type, was salt in brine, 46%; rock salt, 36%; vacuum pan, 11%; and solar salt, 7%.

The chemical industry accounted for about 45% of total salt sales with salt in brine accounting for 91% of the salt used for chemical feedstock. The chlorine and caustic soda manufacturing sector was the main consumer within the chemical industry. Highway deicing consumed about 30% of total salt. The remaining markets for salt were, in declining order, distributors, 10%; food processing, 5%, agricultural, 4%; general industrial, 3%; other uses and exports, 2%; and primary water treatment, 1%.”
