... there are extreme cases in which salt shows on the surface and may therefore be observed in high or medium resolution images. This occurs for instance in Central Asia where determined areas(usually former ponds) are now totally converted into a salt crust. Such crust is due to both the drainage of dissolved salt and the fact that water recharge does not offset evaporation any longer. 3, record 2, English, - salt%20crust

The decrease in the solubility of a protein that is produced in solutions of high ionic strength by an increase of the concentrations of neutral salts. 1, record 12, English, - salting%2Dout
Record number: 12, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The physicochemical basis of salting-out is rather complex; one factor is that the high concentration of salt may remove water of hydration from the protein molecules, thus reducing their solubility, but other factors are also involved. Whatever their physical basis, salting-in and salting-out are important procedures in the separation of protein mixtures, since different proteins vary in their response to the concentration of neutral salts. Proteins precipitated by salting-out retain their native conformation and can be dissolved again, usually without denaturation. Ammonium sulfate is preferred for salting out proteins because it is so soluble in water that very high ionic strengths can be attained. 2, record 12, English, - salting%2Dout
