The salt products we use are based on evaporated saltwater, in some sense, but that's probably limited to the NaCl component. The rest probably comes as separate ingredients or as contaminants. Drying saltwater converts a lot of the calcium and carbonate or bicarbonate into sand. The sand won't redissolve, so there would be no carbonate alkalinity in dried saltwater.
