| If the test sample is halite, then the washing remains clear, being composed of soluble sodium chloride and soluble sodium tetraphenylborate. |
| In association with our work with the American Chemical Society, we have developed a field procedure for distinguishing halite from sylvite. |
| The most common minerals of chlorine are halite, or rock salt, sylvite, and carnallite. |
| In each of these settings, progressive evaporation of seawater leads to precipitation of calcite and gypsum followed by halite. |
| The lower, evaporitic part of each cycle contains halite, anhydrite, and high salts. |
| In this process, the different dissolution behavior of halite, sylvine and primarily of kieserite is exploited. |
