Am I misunderstanding what a hash salt is?

I am working on adding hash digest generating functionality to our code base. I wanted to use a String as a hash salt so that a pre-known key/passphrase could be prepended to whatever it was that needed to be hashed. Am I misunderstanding this concept?

And it's even better if the salt is different for each encrypted phrase since each salt requires its own rainbow table.
