The article says:
Why is sea water only "often" and not always "regarded as brine"? Is typical sea water not salty enough to be considered brine?
It is in parts per thousand percent, or 0/00. It's confusing and it's measured a different way in each article, but it is correct. If anyone wants to they can go through and change each of the four articles to show the same standard of measurement. 70.105.131.19 23:58, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
This article is wrong to presume Brine is only concentrated salt solution. Consider the word "Briny", meaning "of the sea". To say it means only saturated/concentrated salt water is opinion and incorrect. Djp~enwiki ( talk) 11:01, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

I would like to see some discussion where 'brine' is associated with meats, i.e., like to brine chicken. What is the benefit of this type of processing and are we taking away the health benefit by doing so.
The benefit is that the meat doesn't rot and spoil. It can stay good without refridgeration or other preservation methods (canning, drying). This was especially important before the technological advances of electricity and fast shipping. It does not have as many nutrients as fresh, but better than the alternative (no food). See Also: Brining, corning or pickling... there should probably be only one page for that process... different terms, same thing. Utopienne 17:02, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Remove extraneous references to brackish water and brine lakes. Added Also See links to replace the information.
In an episode of How It's Made, they show iced lollies being made; the moulds go through a brine bath, to freeze them. I think this could be mentioned in the article. KingDaveRa ( talk) 16:34, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
In the section for 'Other Uses' there is an entry for Oil extraction that reads:
"Oil extraction Brine is used in the offshore oil and gas industry where a pipeline, prior to commissioning, is flooded with a meg/brine mix to prevent the formation of hydrates on production start-up. This is dependent on the well properties."
The term "meg/brine" needs to be defined.

Mono-ethylene glycol, which happens to be normal vehicle anti-freeze, (abbreviated to MEG) is used as a hydrate inhibitor. It prevents the formation of certain compounds (can someone else help here, please?) when withdrawing gas from a well, or sending it down pipelines. MEG has some slight lubricant properties, which helps the valves in the lines.
Any oil exploration company can provide verification & additional information.
Brine is also used, but whether it is mixed with MEG or used sequentially requires information not available to the writer. Markwilks ( talk) 15:27, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Prior to the mid-September vandalism, there were sections on "Other Uses" and "See Also." Should these be restored, or are they still gone for a reason? I thought I'd check and make sure I wasn't walking into the middle of something that others have already thought through. - FZ ( talk) 18:56, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
This is not associated with these sections, but could you please add why brine electrolyzes the way it does? I'm just curious because the Barron's Chemistry Guide says nothing about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.126.32.223 ( talk) 15:49, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
"Common pickling flavors include garlic, dill, mustard seed, and feces."
I am guessing this is vandalism or a typo. I'm thinking of removing the feces.

Most sections have SI units along with Imperial units, but the Properties section has just Imperial units. Those should be converted to SI units. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThePiachu ( talk • contribs) 09:36, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
At the end of 2nd paragraph:
"In colder temperatures, brine can be used to de-ice or reduce freezing temperatures on roads."
Why "In colder temperatures"? It looks like it should be saying "In higher temperatures" (i.e. than the eutectic point which was just mentioned). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.129.26.235 ( talk) 12:59, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
WP:BOLDly merged and expanded by myself, shuffling contents among Brining, Pickling, Saline water, Brine lake, Salt lake in the process. I hope the result is more informative and less confusing for the readers. No such user ( talk) 15:26, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
This article purports to be written in summary style, but it is barely above a stub, and its spin-offs Brine (hydrology), Brine (food) and Brine (refrigerant) are stubs. These articles are not properly summarized here (In cooking, brine is used for food brining and salting. - duh!). Since the four articles are about the same substance, just its different uses, a reader would be much better served with a single comprehensive article, and the editors would not have to think which aspect of 'brine' they would want linked. No such user ( talk) 11:55, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
...and, do we really need a separate article on Saline water? I don't think that "saline water" and "brine" are clearly delineated terms, it is more of a continuum. wikt:brine defines it as "salt water". This is all a salty mess. No such user ( talk) 12:00, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
I sense two groups of articles to be merged: chemistry and foods.

Isn't the term brine used as a more general sense in the refrigeration and heat pump industries for liquids used to carry heat (cold)? I believe brine in this contexts would include any salt, not just NaCl, used to lower the freezing point and possibly other compounds such as carbamide (if used in such applications) and alcohols. I presume the brine solutions would normally be water based, but I don't know if thats a requirement. 150.227.15.253 ( talk) 13:26, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
