If Earth Could Speak: Salt

If Earth Could Speak: Salt

What else can we do with the by-product of the desalinization process salt? There are several applications that we can use for the salt. Here are just a few ideas : 1. 19.5 million persons who reside on the lower portion of the continent of Africa are dying because a severe lack of iodized salt in their diet.
2. Salt has some of the best insulation properties of any material on Earth. Possibly via the employment of chemical engineering or nanotechnology can the corrosive properties or the tendency to dissolve when wet be controlled. If so, then we could possibly use the salt as a component in the use of concrete, albeit with less heat absorption. Another contributor to global temperature rise is the heat radiated by all of the concrete structures that have been constructed. If we use salt, with its magnificent insulating properties, as a component of concrete then maybe we can reduce the heat radiated off by concrete. Additionally, we could stop strip-mining to a large degree if salt can successfully be applied to this use.
3. Roads and freeways. If salt can be successfully applied to concrete then it follow that it could also be successfully applied to asphalt.

Im sure that we can come up with more applications.

One would need to keep in mind, if devoloping your idea, that salt also kills the quality of the soil.
