Synopsis
Explore the evolution of salt making from the Goderich region to Onondaga and beyond, with clear explanations of geology and industry.
This book presents a practical view of how salt brines are found, tested, and turned into marketable products. It connects underground formations with real-world operations, showing how borings, rock layers, and historical wells shape thinking about the salt resources of Ontario and adjacent areas. The narrative also compares solar and boiled salt methods, and explains how industry uses chemistry to improve purity and efficiency.
- How salt-bearing formations are identified through drill logs and core samples.
- Differences between Onondaga and Goderich brines, and how these affect quality and yield.
- Steps in solar salt production, including settling, pickle-making, and salt-room processing.
- Practical considerations for scale, cost, and market access in North America.
Ideal for readers interested in geology, industrial history, and the science behind salt production.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the 1867 discovery of a rock-salt deposit near the town of Goderich in Ontario, Canada. Prior to this discovery, salt in Ontario and neighboring regions was produced through the evaporation of brine extracted from salt wells. The discovery of rock salt made the extraction of brine easier, less time-consuming, and more cost-effective than ever before. The author of this book was tasked with examining brine samples and overseeing the process by which the salt was extracted. He provides an in-depth analysis of the chemical composition of the brine, including a comparison to brine extracted from salt wells in New York and Michigan. The author also offers his insights and suggestions for refining the salt-making process employed at the time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332614912_0
