Salt processing
Hi folks,
I'm not sure what to make of "Abstoss" in the following phrases. The text relates to plant used for processing and storing salt:
- Im Werk 2 wird offenbar aus beiden Gründen der Weg des *Abstoßes* der Waschlösungen zum Schlamm vorgezogen
- Verwertung von *Abstoßlösungen*
- Bei hohen MgCl2-Gehalten im Rohsalz ist ein technologischer *Lösungsabstoß* zum Ausgleich der MgCl2-Bilanz erforderlich
I can't quite make anything useful out of it with "repel" / "repulsion" or variants - can anyone assist with an established term in English usage, please?

Comment: "I'm still somewhat in the dark about this, but ultimately went with "discharge" as sounding most appropriate in the various contexts. Thanks to everyone who responded."

I cannot find any references that use it this way, but in your context, might this be an option?
