Less visible on the modern landscape is production [of salt] by evaporation of brine in pots over fires, a technique that leaves "briquetage." This is a term that archaeologists use worldwide to describe the broken pots used for evaporating brine over fires. ... At Sacapulas, brine collected from a spring is poured through salty soil in large containers with holes in the bottom to enrich the salt content of the brine. The enriched brine is then poured into a couple of dozen open bowls elevated above a slow fire on a table inside a building. By continuously pouring brine into the bowls, the water slowly evaporates, and loose salt fills the bowls; the salt is then transferred into a large jar. Sometimes salt is further heated to form solid cakes, in which case the bowls must be broken to extract the salt cakes.  3, record 1, English, - salt%20cake

About half of the world's sodium sulfate comes from natural sources ..., while the other half is produced as a by-product of other processes. The most important of these is the production of hypochloric acid from sodium chloride (salt) and sulfuric acid (the Mannheim process), in which case the Na₂So₄ is known as "salt cake" ... Alternatively, it can be produced from sulfur dioxide using the Hargreaves process ...  3, record 2, English, - salt%20cake

La seconde moité de la production mondiale [de sulfate de sodium] est issue de productions secondaires de procédés de l'industrie chimique. La plus importante survient lors de la production d'acide chlorhydrique à partir de chlorure de sodium et d'acide sulfurique selon le procédé Mannheim. Le sulfate de sodium est alors appelé «gâteau de sel» [...] Il est produit également à partir de dioxyde de soufre selon le procédé Hargreaves [...]  2, record 2, French, - g%C3%A2teau%20de%20sel
