Highly salty water, commonly with more than 10,000 milligrams per liter of chloride In parts of Kansas, ground water may be naturally salty Brine also is regularly produced along with oil in Kansas < back to top C
A highly saline solution A solution containing appreciable amounts of NaCl and other salts
A strong solution of salt (s), such as the sodium chloride brine used in the regeneration of ion exchange water softeners, but also applied to the mixed sodium, calcium and magnesium chloride waste solution from regeneration
Highly salty and heavily mineralized water containing heavy metal and organic contaminants Brine usually accompanies oil and gas deposits which exist far below drinkable groundwater supplies Top
Highly salty and heavily mineralized water containing heavy metal and organic contaminants
Water saturated or strongly impregnated with salt; pickle; hence, any strong saline solution; also, the saline residue or strong mother liquor resulting from the evaporation of natural or artificial waters
A salt and water solution which may have other ingredients (such as vinegar for pickling) as well; used for preserving foods
Seawater with a salinity greater than 35 parts per thousand Usually occurs in isolated bodies of seawater that have high amounts of water loss due to evaporation
is water containing relatively large amounts of salts Brine water is created in areas of strong evaporation, like the Dead Sea, and in polar regions, when salt is ejected from water during freezing
Water that contains a high concentration of salt Brine discharges from desalination plants may include constituents used in pretreatment processes, in addition to the high salt concentration seawater
A strong solution of salts(s), such as the sodium chloride brine used in the regeneration of ion exchange water softeners; also applied to the mixed sodium, calcium, and magnesium chloride waste solution from regeneration
A tiny species of shrimp growing to only about 1/4 inch Also known as "Sea Monkeys", they are sold as a source of fish food Brine shrimp make a delicious snack for reef fishes, but are not very nutritious and should not be used as the sole food source
Sometimes sold as sea monkeys, these shrimp grow to about 1/4 inch and are used as a live food for fish They are easily hatched and their eggs may be stored dry for years
Any of various small crustaceans of the genus Artemia. Any of several small crustaceans (genus Artemia) inhabiting brine pools and other highly salty inland waters throughout the world. A. salina, which occurs in vast numbers in Great Salt Lake, Utah, is commercially important. Young brine shrimp hatched there from dried eggs are used widely as food for fish and other small animals in aquariums. Up to 0.6 in. (15 mm) long, the brine shrimp's body has a distinguishable head and a slender abdomen. It normally swims upside down, and it feeds primarily on green algae, which it filters from the water with its legs
