Saturated aqueous sodium chloride (NaCl) is called brine. Brine washes are very commonly used to help dry (remove water from) organic solvents after aqueous extractions.
- Brine wash of organic solvents after aqueous work-ups.
Sodium chloride is non-toxic. For example, sodium chloride is common 'table salt'.
