On the Possibility to prepare Brine from Sea Water by Natural Freezing in Japan

Abstract

It is well known that when the sea water is partly frozen, the remaining water becomes concentrated to produce brine. With the data of climatology and oceanography in Japan, the matter of the title is discussed. There are some locals where the process can be realized utilizing the low temperature of winter season. For example: Kusiro, Abasiri etc., in Hokkaidõ; all along the coast-line of Karahuto (Saghaline); northern coasts of east and west of Tyõsen (Korea) peninsula.
