The invention belongs to the technical field of salt
chemical industry, and particularly relates to a leaching mining method for
potassium in
polyhalite. A
sodium chloride solution and pure water are used as leaching agents, efficient extraction of
potassium resources is achieved through three-stage alternate leaching of induction, strengthening and stabilization, the
sodium chloride solution is adopted at low pressure in the induction stage, the
solubility of CaSO4 is reduced through the
salting-out effect, deposition is inhibited, meanwhile, Na < + > is preferentially combined with Mg < 2 + > and SO4 < 2-> released by
polyhalite to generate
anhydrous natroedite, and the
sodium chloride solution and the sodium chloride solution are separated out; the
polyhalite is pushed to be dissolved, balanced and positively moved to realize rapid initial
dissolution of
potassium; in the strengthening stage, pure water is switched and pressure is increased in a gradient mode,
permeation is enhanced, the leaching area is enlarged, the thermodynamic driving force of polyhalite
dissolution is improved, and potassium
dissolution is accelerated by means of the effects of low
viscosity, high diffusivity and
high pressure of the pure water; in the stable stage,
high pressure is maintained, a low-concentration sodium chloride solution is adopted,
calcium ion deposition and potassium
ion reverse adsorption are inhibited, deep
recovery of residual potassium is achieved, and therefore the
leaching rate of potassium and the comprehensive benefits of the process are improved.
