Utah salt makers have extracted salt from three sources, the principal of these being brine from Great Salt Lake. Other sources are saline beds in Great Salt Lake Desert and subterranean halite formations in central Utah.This study traces the development of methods used to recover and refine salt by the industry, in general, and by specific companies. It provides brief, historical sketches of the major corporations and the economic, legal, and environmental factors affecting their growth.Utah produces about 1 per cent of the nation's salt, exporting over half of it from the state. The major factors limiting the growth of the local industry are the lack of population and industrial development in Utah's market area. Transportation rates for a product with low intrinsic value but high in weight determine this area.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Changes in the global salt market have presented Walvis Bay Salt Refiners with an opportunity to increase its current sales by approximately 40%. Following several pre-feasibility studies, the expansion project plan was created. The construction of new ponds, canals and sluices were to be performed by a subcontractor as selected through a tender process. The scope of the work comprised approximately 70% of the total project cost and it also represented the most critical part of the expansion project. Thomas Saaty’s Analytic Hierarchy Process, was used as a group decision support system for the selection of the most suitable subcontractor. The weighted average mean method was used to aggregate individual scores. A sensitivity analysis was performed following the final outcome to gain a deeper understanding of the problem, obtain a measure of margin between subcontractor scores and to check for the correctness of numbers. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Veranderinge in die wêreld soutmark het vir Walvis Bay Salt Refiners 'n geleentheid gebied om sy verkope met ʼn beraamde 40% te verhoog. Na verskeie voorondersoeke is 'n volledige projekplan opgestel. Die vervaardiging van damwalle, kanale en sluise sou deur 'n kontrakteur gedoen word wat deur ʼn tenderprosedure gekeur sou word. Die omvang van hierdie gedeelte van die uitbreidingsprojek verteenwoordig ongeveer 70% van die totale projekkostes en is terselfdelyk die mees sensitiewe gedeelte van die projek. Thomas Saaty se Analytic Hierarchy Process is gebruik as die groepbesluitnemingsondersteuningstelsel om die mees geskikte kontrakteur te kies. Die geweegde gemiddelde is gebruik om die individuele oordele saam te voeg. Sensitiwiteits analise is uitgevoer nadat die finale uitslag bepaal is om sodoende beter insig in die probleem te ontwikkel, om ʼn beter onderskeiding tussen die kontrakteur puntetellings te kry en om die juistheid van die syfers na te gaan.

Programa Institucional de CapacitaÃao Docente e TÃcnica / CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / O presente trabalho traz um levantamento dos termos usados por indivÃduos que desenvolvem atividades relacionadas à IndÃstria do sal e tem como proposta a elaboraÃÃo de um glossÃrio dos termos desse domÃnio. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida nas localidades de MossorÃ, Areia Branca e Grossos, municÃpios que fazem parte da regiÃo salineira do Rio Grande do Norte. Portanto, o nosso objeto de estudo sÃo os termos da indÃstria e da cultura do sal, tanto na modalidade escrita, como tambÃm na modalidade oral, levando em consideraÃÃo a possibilidade da variaÃÃo terminolÃgica. O trabalho consta, primeiramente, do levantamento histÃrico e institucional da indÃstria do Sal, bem como de todo o processo de sua produÃÃo. Neste trabalho, sÃo apresentadas as diferentes ciÃncias do LÃxico e seus respectivos enfoques teÃricos, mas a Ãnfase maior à dada nas orientaÃÃes teÃrico-metodolÃgicas da Socioterminologia, pois esta à a abordagem adotada por nÃs neste trabalho. Depois, sÃo expostos os procedimentos metodolÃgicos para a realizaÃÃo da pesquisa socioterminolÃgica, procedimentos estes distribuÃdos em duas etapas que sÃo a metodologia da pesquisa de campo e a metodologia da organizaÃÃo do glossÃrio. Logo em seguida, vem o GlossÃrio da Terminologia do Sal (o GLOSSAL), composto de 325 termos organizados alfabeticamente, com um Ãndice remissivo sistemÃtico, distribuÃdo em quatro campos conceituais, a saber: fabricaÃÃo, beneficiamento, comercializaÃÃo e utilizaÃÃo e consumo. O levantamento desse corpus se justifica, pelo que conhecemos, principalmente, pela ausÃncia de trabalhos escritos de organizaÃÃo e sistematizaÃÃo de glossÃrios tÃcnico-especializados sobre a Ãrea em foco, nos municÃpios pesquisados. AlÃm disso, esta obra se justifica tambÃm por possibilitar a divulgaÃÃo de um produto terminogrÃfico destinado, nÃo sà aos especialistas da Ãrea em questÃo e aos das CiÃncias do LÃxico e pesquisadores afins, como tambÃm ao grande pÃblico e aos interessados em aprofundar seus estudos na terminologia do sal. / The research hereafter presents a study on words used by individuals that work with activities related to salt industry and has the proposal of elaborating a glossary on the terms in that domain. The investigation has been developed in locations such as MossorÃ, Areia Branca and Grossos, cities that make part of Rio Grande do Norte salty region. Our work aims at studying industry terms and salty culture, in written and oral modality, considering the possibility of terminological variation. The work consists, primarily, of a salty industry historical institutional investigation as well as of the entire production process. In this work, different lexical sciences are introduced and their respective theoretical approaches, but the main emphasis is put on Socioterminology theory and its methodological guidelines, considering its importance for this research. After that, the methodological procedures for the socioterminological research are exposed and distributed in two phases: field research and glossary organizational methodology. In sequence, the Glossary of Salty Terminology (GLOSSAL) is presented, composed of 325 terms alphabetically organized, with a systematical remissive index, distributed in four conceptual fields: manufacturing, beneficiatement, trading, utilization and consumption. This corpus investigation is justified by the absence of written works organized and systemized in the salty technological area in the specified cities. This work also contributes to provide the divulgation of a terminographical product destined, not only to specialists in the area and to Lexical Science researchers, but to the public interested in improving their knowledge in salty terminology.

Thereafter the production of sea salt started to be made in a process of continuous flow, where the product is constantly stored in yards, with daily movements in and out of salt. Thus far, the major bottleneck found in this production process is the control of production, because due to the large amount produced and variety of losses existing in the various stages of production there are not a regulated and safe way to control inventories with accuracy and speed demanded. In a typical case with a salt marsh company of Rio Grande do Norte state, salt produced is stored in two open courtyards and inventory control of salt made by carrying input / output relationship of salt in each storage yard. This work developed a conceptual model of inventory control, based on topography, adopting surveys into one of the courtyards of the company. There were 25 biweekly survey measurements over a year book to generate digital models representing the stock. For each measurement, results were compared with the values of inventory accounting provided by the salt marsh in order to identify existing losses and mark out the sales department on the actual stock available at each measurement date. Inventories calculated by the model indicated losses of 6,349 tonnes for the period of one year book and 3,279 tonnes for the period between harvests, when compared to the accounting control / O fortalecimento da ind?stria nacional nos ?ltimos 20 anos exigiu a moderniza??o, mecaniza??o e amplia??o da produ??o salineira. A partir disso a produ??o de sal marinho passou a ser feita num processo de fluxo cont?nuo, onde o produto ? constantemente estocado em p?tios, com movimenta??es di?rias de entrada e sa?da de sal. At? o presente, o grande gargalo encontrado neste processo produtivo tem sido o controle da produ??o, pois devido a grande quantidade produzida e a diversidade de perdas existentes nas diversas etapas do processo de produ??o n?o se tem uma forma que seja regulamentada e segura para controlar os estoques com precis?o e velocidade necess?rias. No estudo de caso realizado em uma salina com processo de produ??o tipicamente adotado no RN, o sal produzido ? estocado em dois p?tios abertos ao ar livre, sendo o controle do estoque de sal feito de forma cont?bil pela rela??o entrada / sa?da de sal em cada p?tio de estocagem. Neste trabalho desenvolveu-se um m?todo conceitual do controle de estoque baseado na Topografia, utilizando medi??es realizadas em um dos p?tios da empresa. Foram executadas 25 medi??es topogr?ficas quinzenais ao longo de um ano cont?bil para gerar modelos digitais representativos do estoque. Para cada medi??o foram comparados os resultados do modelo com os valores do estoque cont?bil da salina de forma a identificar as perdas existentes e informar ao setor de vendas o estoque real dispon?vel em cada data medida. Os estoques calculados pelo modelo indicaram perdas de 6.349 t para o per?odo anual e de 3.279 t para o per?odo da entressafra, quando comparadas ao controle cont?bil

[Truncated abstract. Formulae and special characters in this field can only be approximated. See PDF version for accurate reproduction.] Solar salt producers use solar energy to evaporate seawater as it flows through a series of ponds. The Shark Bay Salt solar ponds, at Useless Inlet in Western Australia, vary in salinity from that of seawater to four times seawater, over the pond sequence. Water column photosynthesis and biomass decreased markedly with increasing salinity along the pond sequence, while benthic productivity increased as cyanobacterial mats developed. Correspondingly, net productivity shifted from autotrophy to heterotrophy in the water column and from heterotrophy to autotrophy in the benthos. Both shifts occurred at intermediate salinity in the pond sequence, where there was low production in both the water column and benthos. Within individual ponds, productivity, algal biomass and physico-chemical conditions were relatively constant over the year of study. Transitions between benthic and planktonic production along the pond sequence were driven mostly by direct responses to salinity stress, as well as the formation of a gypsum crust on the pond floors at higher salinity (>120 g kg-1). This transition is similar to that which occurs in saline lakes undergoing anthropogenic salinisation and identifies critical salinities for the restoration of these lakes.

In Brazilian reality, the CSR, understood as enterprise actions, external and/or internal, that contributes to social and ambient improvement, gains greater visibility in 1990 decade. Although the significant increase of theoretical productions about CSR pertinent elements, it is still scarce the studies that treats about the relation company/society in the northeastern reality, and singularly, in Rio Grande do Norte. It was in this perspective, that, in being the salt industry one of most important in the potiguar economic history formation , the present work investigated practicies and perceptions of salt entrepreneurship about CSR. Considering all the Rio Grande do Norte salt industry history phases, since the period of the Brazil s settling, as well as the characteristics of the study object, was opted to the qualitative research, objectified in interviews half-structuralized realized with the salt segment entrepreneurs, as well as professionals of ambient management and human resources working in potiguar salt segment. The research main results indicated a coexistence between the mechanisms of management seated on personal and paternalists relations, typical of traditional salt industry, and the emergency of innovative elements typical of the modern management, like the CSR. In this context, a tension between continuity and rupture with the traditional mechanisms of management in salt entrepreneurship actions / O debate em torno da tem?tica da Responsabilidade Social Empresarial RSE envolve aspectos econ?micos, sociais, culturais e simb?licos presentes nas rela??es estabelecidas entre empresa e sociedade. Na especificidade da realidade brasileira, a RSE, compreendida como a??es empresariais, de car?ter externo e/ou interno, que contribuem para os processos de melhoria social e ambiental, ganha maior visibilidade a partir da d?cada de 1990. Apesar do significativo aumento de produ??es te?ricas que tratam dos elementos pertinentes ? RSE, ainda s?o escassos os estudos que tratam da rela??o empresa/sociedade na realidade nordestina e, mais singularmente, no Rio Grande do Norte. Foi nessa perspectiva que, em sendo a ind?stria salineira uma das mais importantes na hist?ria da forma??o econ?mica potiguar, o presente trabalho investigou as percep??es e as pr?ticas do empresariado salineiro acerca da RSE. Considerando todas as fases s?cio-hist?ricas pelas quais passou a ind?stria salineira do Rio Grande do Norte desde o per?odo da coloniza??o do Brasil, bem como as caracter?sticas do objeto de estudo proposto, optou-se pela pesquisa de cunho qualitativo, consubstanciada em entrevistas semi-estruturadas, realizadas junto aos empres?rios do segmento, bem como profissionais de gest?o ambiental e recursos humanos tamb?m vinculados ao ramo salineiro potiguar. Os resultados principais da pesquisa indicaram uma conviv?ncia entre os mecanismos de gest?o assentados sobre rela??es personalistas e paternalistas, t?picas da ind?stria do sal tradicional, e a emerg?ncia de elementos inovadores, caracter?sticos da denominada gest?o modera, dentre eles, a RSE. Configura-se, pois, nesse contexto, uma tens?o entre apego e ruptura diante dos mecanismos tradicionais de gest?o constituintes do fazer empresarial salineiro
