The invention provides a method for producing enriched
potassium chloride by downhole fractional
decomposition of
solid potash salt ore, belongs to the technical field of chemical
mineral processing, and in particular relates to a dry mining process of land burial
carnallite potash salt ore, and the dry mining process is one of technological processes for improving the mining capability of the
potash salt ore and lowering the production and backfill cost of
potassium chloride. The method comprises the following process flows: mining the land burial
carnallite potash salt ore by a
drill jumbo to obtain raw
solid potash salt ore; sieving the raw potash salt ore for
decomposition in a downhole closed-circuit manner; selectively grading to obtain enriched
potassium chloride slurry; conveying the
slurry to ground through a pump; and finally producing the potassium chloride product by a flotation
system. The method provided by the invention has the remarkable beneficial effects that under the existing investment conditions of lifting the potash salt ore to the ground by a vertical shaft and then producing the potassium chloride, the potassium chloride
slurry is enriched by directly adopting underground mining and vertical shaft facilities, thus greatly improving the capability of the existing
solid potash salt ore for producing the potassium chloride and greatly lowering the production cost and
tailings backfill investment. Therefore, the method is applicable to producing the potassium chloride
fertilizer product by downhole dry mining and
processing of the land burial
carnallite potash salt ore, thus achieving high industrial popularization value.
