      That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm sure that some of that equipment is ordered from the manufacturer with the intent of salt production. So, it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of the equipment had a special clear coat or something.
      They may even spray down the equipment with a solution weekly at the facility.

    the amount of radioactive water released into the pacific in this event is like dropping a drop of food coloring in gulf of mexico, likely less. there's more radioactive run off from regular shore erosion than what happened here. it's devastating for the local area and japan, but the farther away you get from it, the less significant it becomes, eventually becoming insignificant compared to natural erosion.

      What causes most metal to rust out isn't the salt itself, it's the abrasion from the salt getting thrown at the metal. The same happens to areas with fine gravel roads and sand used in place of salt. Part of the reason why sawdust and woodchips are becoming more common. Cheaper to produce and is a lot softer than gravel, sand, and salt.

    not very bright are they, they could separate the water from the salt in 6-12 months by doing this in alaska as the water will freeze into ice and the saltier layer will still be at the bottom. i'd go into further detail but i'm not being paid to give away basic technique that would reduce their costs by 30,000%

    • @Mikey8567
      @Mikey8567 10 лет назад +5

      They use fresh water to wash it. If they used salt water to do so your right it would revert back to brine. Salt takes longer to dissolve in fresh water and the washing is quick so there really isn't any lose (except the very fine power).

      @Mikey8567 9 лет назад

      The same follows tee with most rock salt. Most rock salt is what's called "solar salt" meaning it's usually salt water based also. They flood huge pools and using the sun over time the water evaporites just like the video shows. As I said above sea salt takes longer to desolve in fresh water.

    • @pnkflyd66
      @pnkflyd66 8 лет назад +1

      +Mikey8567 sea water would less likely turn salt back to brine during washing due to the saturation point of the saltwater.
