Basic Introduction to Chaka Salt

Chaka Salt is a specialty of Ulan County, Qinghai Province. In December 2009, the former General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine officially approved "Chaka Salt" as a geographical indication protected product. As of the end of 2017, the rock salt reserves in Chaka Salt Lake were 448 million tons, with an annual production of 150000 tons of edible salt. Chaka salt is not only supplied to the whole province, but also sold to Sichuan, Hunan, Shaanxi and other places. There are 11 types of edible salt, including stewed meat salt, low sodium salt, seaweed iodized salt, fruit and vegetable salt, etc

"Tea card salt" has complete crystal structure, high purity of sodium chloride, white appearance, few impurities, no pollution, and does not contain harmful substances to the human body. It has a "salty and sweet taste, and its taste is salty and beautiful". Sea salt, on the other hand, is the process of absorbing moisture, making brine, crystallization, storage, and processing into finished products. Due to varying degrees of pollution from the raw material - seawater, the product has a high moisture content, high water-soluble impurities, and a slightly bitter taste when consumed

The Chaka Salt Lake is embedded in the snow capped grasslands rather than on the Gobi Desert, and is a brine lake with both solid and liquid phases. The mineralization degree of salt lake brine is 322.4 grams per liter, the relative density is 1.2178, the pH value is 7.8, and the hydrochemical type is sulfate type magnesium sulfate subtype. The bottom of Chaka Salt Lake is a rock salt deposit. Since its formation, the chemical sedimentation of salt lakes has been relatively continuous and stable. The thickness of the chemical sedimentary salt layer is relatively large, generally 4-8 meters, and the thickest can reach 10 meters. Chemical sedimentation is mainly composed of rock salt, followed by gypsum, saltpeter, calcium saltpeter, anhydrous saltpeter, saltpeter, white sodium magnesium aluminate, and hydrated rock salt, which are suitable for salt production
