brine

Common name for a solution of sodium chloride (NaCl) in water. Brines are used extensively in the food-manufacturing industry for canning vegetables, pickling vegetables (sauerkraut manufacture), and curing meat. Industrially, brine is the source from which chlorine, caustic soda (sodium hydroxide), and sodium carbonate are made.

The chlor-alkali industry is based on the electrolysis of brine, which produces chlorine, hydrogen, and sodium hydroxide. In the Solvay process, sodium carbonate is produced from sodium chloride.
