Characteristics and purification of Himalayan salt by high temperature melting
Himalayan rock salt contains a variety of minerals and trace elements, which is conducive to human health. The solutions of black rock salt and rose salt are alkaline, and the content of water insoluble matter is 0.34 and 0.083%, respectively. The element composition of water insoluble matter in roc...

| description | Himalayan rock salt contains a variety of minerals and trace elements, which is conducive to human health. The solutions of black rock salt and rose salt are alkaline, and the content of water insoluble matter is 0.34 and 0.083%, respectively. The element composition of water insoluble matter in rock salt is determined and analyzed. It is found that the main component of two kinds of rock salt water insoluble matter is soil. Due to the presence of water insoluble matter in rock salt, according to the different specific gravity of molten sodium chloride and insoluble matter, rock salt was purified by high-temperature melting method. Rose salt is mainly studied during purification. The results showed that the content of insoluble matter in rose salt decreased from 0.083 to 0.0024% after holding at 950°C for 40 min; the contents of arsenic, barium, and lead decreased to 0.0032, 0.61, and 0.21 mg·kg−1, respectively; the content of sodium increased to 39.24%, the contents of calcium, magnesium, and iron reached to 2,200, 855, and 1.31 mg·kg−1, respectively. |
