Sodium chloride, commonly known as halite or salt, is considered as an essential mineral for the survival of human body. It is a colourless crystal which is readily soluble in water. Sodium Chloride can be obtained naturally either by evaporating sea water or by mining underground deposits. It can also be produced synthetically by the chemical reaction of sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl). Owing to its distinct characteristics, sodium chloride finds myriad applications across various industries.
