2018 World Salt Symposium
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Groundbreaking Evidence on Salt and Health to be presented
Naples, FL, USA, Aug. 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Tenth World Salt
Symposium will be held June 19-21, 2018 in Park City, Utah, and will feature
nearly 100 presentations from around the globe covering all topics related to
salt. Starting in the 1960's, people from around the world have gathered to
share information on the health benefits and uses of salt, salt mining
practices, and solar salt production. The last such meeting was held in Beijing,
China in 2009. The extended period between these conferences ensures a far-
reaching and inclusive technical content. This is, without doubt, the most
important international meeting focused on the subject of salt.
The Tenth World Salt Symposium is organized by the Salt Institute, in
cooperation with several other salt organizations around the world. The World
Salt Symposium focuses on the latest research and development in the
international salt sector. It covers a wide spectrum of subjects, embracing the
science, engineering, technology, economics and history of all forms of sodium
chloride salt and their uses. As a broad international platform, the 2018 World
Salt Symposium will enable researchers, producers and users of salt to become
acquainted with the latest developments and technologies in this important
industrial area.

Salt Production Sessions
The Salt Production track of the symposium will cover a broad range of topics
relating to all aspects of salt production, including mine safety, history of
salt production, solar salt issues and possibilities for value added products in
the salt marketplace. More than 60 papers will be presented in podium sessions
and poster sessions, along with discussion sessions on safety topics. This will
make the World Salt Symposium the global forum of choice for discussions on salt
production.
Salt and the Environment
The Salt and the Environment track of the symposium will cover several topics
that include a number of sessions and keynotes on the benefits of technological
developments to the use of rock salt in winter maintenance and how these
developments move forward the concept of safe and sustainable snowfighting.
Additionally, several sessions will look at ways in which the salt production
industry has worked to ensure that the various processes of producing salt also
provide substantial environmental benefits.
