Patent ID: 11365127

Abstract:
A large-particle spherical salt with a particle size of 400-950 μm and a sphericity of 0.5-1.0 is disclosed, which overcomes the existing difficulty in this field for larger particle size as well as higher sphericity. A preparation method of the large-particle spherical salt is also disclosed, wherein in one preparation process, 2% of gum arabic (based on the mass percentage of solute sodium chloride in a sodium chloride saturated solution) is added, and under conditions of an evaporating temperature of 60° C. a stirring rate of 350 rpm, and an evaporating time of 8 hours, a large-particle spherical salt with a particle size of 921.593 μm and an average sphericity of 0.904 is successfully prepared. The large-particle spherical salt prepared by the method has a uniform particle size distribution and good appearance, can be combined with other substances, adding some extra value to the salt. Meanwhile, the large-particle spherical salt prepared by the method has a high safety grade (e.g.: food grade) and can be used as edible salt, nutrient salt or foot bath salt.
