Industrial salt is one of the most fundamental raw materials in the chemical industry. Its main components are sodium chloride (NaCl) and sodium nitrite (NaNO₂), earning it the title of the "Mother of the Chemical Industry." Key products of the basic chemical industry, such as hydrochloric acid, caustic soda, soda ash, ammonium chloride, and chlorine, are primarily produced using industrial salt as a raw material.
