A liquid waste that is mostly water and salt

Asked by markprincearci4515

Answer (1)

A liquid waste that is mostly water and salt is commonly referred to as saline water or brine. It mainly consists of water with a high concentration of dissolved salts, primarily sodium chloride (table salt). This mixture is a homogeneous solution where the salt is dissolved evenly in the water.Such saline liquid waste typically appears as a clear or slightly colored liquid, denser and with different properties than pure water due to the dissolved salts. It can come from various industrial, agricultural, or natural processes where salty water is discharged or leftover.
