brine spreader

My comment:

I agree with Sheila, no need for salt. I must say that in layman's parlance, it would be called a "salt spreader", but this is a technical text where "brine" fits.

Thanks Sheila, can't say I use this work every day! Saying this I saw it there, so I don't know if it is a specific snow removal jargon... http://www.ctre.iastate.edu/PUBS/semisesq/session1/donahey/index.htm

diffusion/osmosis gradient

My comment:

I think this is the term....

If it is a question of moving salts from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration...

It depends on the context, but osmosis is the movement of molecules in solution in this way (across a semi permeable membrane) until both concentrations are balanced, and diffusion is the movement of particles in solution or gas, without a semi oermeable membrane.
