Brine rejection that drains from the newly formed ice is replaced by a weak flow of relatively fresh water, from the liquid region below it. The new water partially freezes within the pores of the ice, increasing the solidity of the ice. As sea ice ages and thickens, the initial salinity of the ice decreases due to the rejection of brine over time [Fig. 2]. While the sea ice ages, desalinization occurs to such a degree that some multiyear ice has a salinity of less than 1 PSU. This occurs in three different ways: Brine rejection occurs in the sea ice packs
Open-pan salt making and/ or, crystal salt in weak brine or sea water prior to evaporation. Solar Evaporation uses the sun to strengthen and evaporate sea water trapped on the sea-shore to make sea salt crystals, or to strengthen and evaporate brine sourced from natural springs where it is made into white salt crystals. This led to three types of salt production all of which used a variation of the open-pan salt method: Coastal salt production. The process involved solar evaporation of seawater, followed by artificial evaporation of salt using the open-pan technique in structures known as ‘salterns’. Inland salt production. The process
