Nov 01, 2016Potash is typically recovered by primary solution mining, where heated water is injected into a drilled mine cavern to dissolve both KCl and NaCl. KCl is isolated from the returning brine solution with an evaporative crystallizer. Typically, recovered NaCl is stockpiled on the surface and can become an environmental legacy.
