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
Salt industry in Syracuse, New York of . The brine was pumped to the surface with hand pumps, which could produce about 40 gallons per minute. Beginning in 1838, the State authorized the drilling of deep wells at several locations around the lake to locate the source of the brine; however, none of the wells that were drilled were able to pinpoint the source. By 1878, the wells were to deep. When the "cemented earth" was pierced by a drill, the salt-water rose to within of the surface and was raised the remainder of the way by small pumps driven by steam. That year, it was
