in a solution of brine that is dissolved solids in groundwater, what are possible salts?
typically gypsum and halite
the brine cropping out at the surface as saltwater springs are known as "licks" or "salines". the contents of dissolved solids in groundwater vary highly from one location to another on earth, both in terms of specific constituents (e.g. halite, anhydrite, carbonates, gypsum, fluoride-salts, organic halides, and sulfate-salts) and regarding the concentration level. using one of several classification of groundwater based on total dissolved solids (tds), brine is water containing more than 100,000 mg/l tds. brine is commonly produced during well completion operations, particularly after the hydraulic fracturing of a well.

the concentration of dissolved solids in deep connate water varies from much less than sea water to ten times the total dissolved solids of sea water. in general, total dissolved solids (tds) concentrations increase with depth. most deep groundwaters classified as brines (having total dissolved solids equal to or greater than that of seawater) are predominantly sodium chloride type. however, the predominance of chloride usually increases with increasing tds, at the expense of sulfate. the ratio of calcium to sodium usually increases with depth.
