Abstract
This study was conducted to demonstrate the manufacturing process for producing high-quality solar salt. The design criteria of the manufacturing process, which was studied in a previous study, was applied to an actual manufacturing system to evaluate its performance. The design factors applied were the drying air temperature and the temperature of the washing water. They were 100℃ or less and 10℃ or less, respectively. Two standards were applied to the process performance evaluation. Standard (I) was the international food standard for solar salt, and standard (II) was the quality standard for high-quality solar salt production. The main quality evaluation items were the moisture content and salinity, and the color characteristics were also measured (p<0.05). The manufacturing process of solar salt consisted of five steps, and the quality change was measured for each step. The measured quality was appropriate to the standard (I) from the third-step process. In addition, the quality of the high-quality solar salt was suitable for the standard (II) from the fourth-step process. Therefore, the performance of the proposed solar salt production process met international standards. The improvements in the production of high-quality solar salt will improve international competitiveness in the future.
