Brine extraction

Brine extraction involves collecting underground saltwater solutions, called brine, which contain high concentrations of salt and other minerals. This process typically occurs in salt deposits or beneath the earth’s surface. Companies drill into these underground layers and pump out the brine. The extracted brine is then processed to recover salt, minerals, or chemicals used in various industries, such as chemical manufacturing, water treatment, or food production. The method is efficient for obtaining large quantities of mineral-rich water without extensive surface mining, making it a vital part of resource extraction in areas with significant underground salt deposits.
