به خواندن ادامه دهیدWhat is Solution Mining? Solution mining is the process of extracting underground, water-soluble minerals (salt, potash, trona, etc.), through one or more drilled wells, by dissolving the minerals with water. As the water circulates, it dissolves the mineral and becomes saturated, the brine is forced up a separate pipe string to the surface.
به خواندن ادامه دهیدSolution mining avoids the risks associated with conventional underground mining methods by taking advantage of trona's natural water solubility. Because water does the work, trona can be brought to the surface without additional chemicals, and without sending personnel and equipment underground.
