Saline water (more commonly known as salt water ) is water that contains a high concentration of dissolved salts (mainly sodium chloride ). On the United States Geological Survey (USGS) salinity scale, saline water is saltier than brackish water , but less salty than brine . The salt concentration is usually expressed in parts per thousand (permille, ‰) and parts per million (ppm). The USGS salinity scale defines three levels of saline water. The salt concentration in slightly saline water is 1,000 to 3,000 ppm (0.1–0.3%); in moderately saline water is 3,000 to 10,000 ppm (0.3–1%); and in highly saline water is 10,000 to 35,000 ppm (1–3.5%). Seawater has a salinity of roughly 35,000 ppm, equivalent to 35 grams of salt per one liter (or kilogram) of water. The saturation level is only nominally dependent on the temperature of the water. At 20 °C (68 °F) one liter of water can dissolve about 357 grams of salt, a concentration of 26.3 percent by weight (% w/w). At 100 °C (212 °F) (the boiling temperature of pure water), the amount of salt that can be dissolved in one liter of water increases to about 391 grams, a concentration of 28.1% w/w.
12-931: (Redirected from Seille River ) Seille may refer to several rivers in France: Seille (Moselle) , in Lorraine, tributary of the Moselle Seille (Saône) , in Franche-Comté and Burgundy, tributary of the Saône Seille (Ouvèze) , in Provence, tributary of the Ouvèze See also [ edit ] Seilles, a village in the Belgian municipality Andenne [REDACTED] Topics referred to by
24-444: A concentration of 26.3%. The thermal conductivity of seawater (3.5% dissolved salt by weight) is 0.6 W/mK at 25 °C (77 °F). The thermal conductivity decreases with increasing salinity and increases with increasing temperature. The salt content can be determined with a salinometer . Density ρ of brine at various concentrations and temperatures from 200 to 575 °C (392 to 1,067 °F) can be approximated with
36-445: A linear equation: ρ [ l b / f t 3 ] = a 3 − ( a 2 ⋅ T [ F ] ) {\displaystyle \rho [lb/ft^{3}]=a_{3}-(a_{2}\cdot T[F])} where the values of a n are: About four percent of hydrogen gas produced worldwide is created by electrolysis . The majority of this hydrogen produced through electrolysis
48-592: A small tributary of the Saône . It originates near Azoudange , in the department of Moselle . Leaving the Lindre lake, it skirts the town of Dieuze , and traverses Vic-sur-Seille and Nomeny , before flowing into the Moselle at Metz . It is 138 km long, and has a basin area of 1348 km . Most of its length is in the department of Moselle, except for the part between Aulnois-sur-Seille and Cheminot , which
60-582: Is different from Wikidata All article disambiguation pages All disambiguation pages Seille (Moselle) The Seille ( French pronunciation: [sɛj] ; German : Selle ) is a river in north-eastern France . It is a right tributary of the Moselle . It is also known as the Seille lorraine or the Grande Seille ("large Seille"), to distinguish it from another Seille ,
72-683: Is in Meurthe-et-Moselle . The Seille also forms the border between Moselle and Meurthe-et-Moselle from Chambrey to Aulnois-sur-Seille. Originating in the Pond region, the Seille then crosses the Saulnois , a region in the south of Moselle. This section of the river is part of the Parc naturel régional de Lorraine ("Regional Natural Park of Lorraine"). The river then flows into a large valley,
84-543: Is the habitat for a very large variety of fish. It is also home to a variety of other animals, such as otters , herons , and caterpillars . The Seille suffers from eutrophication . Numerous towns and villages incorporate the name of the river. Some examples include: Aboncourt-sur-Seille, Aulnois-sur-Seille, Bey-sur-Seille, Brin-sur-Seille, Coin-sur-Seille, Haraucourt-sur-Seille, Mailly-sur-Seille, Malaucourt-sur-Seille, Moncel-sur-Seille, Morville-sur-Seille, Port-sur-Seille, and Vic-sur-Seille. The suffix " sur-Seille " means "on
96-522: The Seille" in French, and the practice is analogous to the English place names that incorporate river names, such as Newcastle upon Tyne. Saline water At 100 °C (212 °F; 373 K), saturated sodium chloride brine is about 28% salt by weight. At 0 °C (32 °F; 273 K), brine can only hold about 26% salt. At 20 °C one liter of water can dissolve about 357 grams of salt,
108-496: The ground of which is composed mainly of marl and clay . Since the Middle Ages , there has been much work performed on the Seille, in part to straighten it (to render it navigable ), to drain the nearby swamps , and to limit flooding of adjacent low-lying areas. Its linear course and the treelessness of its banks makes it of little interest to the landscape, and today the erosion of its banks poses problems. Despite this,
120-621: The most important of which are: Downstream, the Seille is much less straight, following a contorted path along the border of the department of Moselle. This section of the river has comparatively few tributaries: Finally, in Metz , after passing the Porte des Allemands (a 13th-century castle, lit. "Gate of the Germans"), it flows into the right bank of the Moselle. The river is classified as "Category II" (categories are based on types of fish), and

#1732780847292144-409: The valley is of biological interest: salt water resurgences have led to the presence of various plant species that are usually confined to coast lines, including glasswort , aster tripolium , and sea-spurreys . As of 2004 , work is being done on the river: the banks of the river are being reforested , and an oxygenation system is being installed. The Seille has a number of tributaries ,
