This invention provides a method for predicting deep
solid potash deposits using brine hydrogeochemical
simulation. The core of this method lies in using brine to locate
potash. By simultaneously collecting surface
saline spring water and deep borehole brine from the same target area, the method calculates and compares the brine characteristic coefficients of both. Based on this invention, a quantitative relationship of brine coefficient thresholds is proposed to determine the brine's formation,
evaporation rate, and the influence of atmospheric
precipitation. Brine samples indicating favorable deep
potash-forming environments are screened. Then, a hydrogeochemical model is constructed and corrected, and the simulated
evaporation mineral
precipitation sequence is performed on the screened samples. The saturation indices of target minerals such as
halite and
carnallite are calculated. The core criterion is that the SI value of
halite approaches -0.5 to +0.5, combined with the fact that
halite is unsaturated and
carnallite is nearly saturated. The exploration target area is delineated using a comprehensive multi-indicator approach. This invention aims to significantly improve the prediction accuracy and exploration efficiency of deep
solid potash deposits under complex geological conditions.
