The word potash is derived from a 1477 middle Dutch term potaschen (Pot ash). It was the ancient process of producing potassium carbonate. The term potash was used in later years to refer to naturally available salts and the byproduct derived from such salts. Currently, the highest potash deposits are in Saskatchewan in Canada.

Although there is sufficient potash to meet near-term demand, the large marine-type deposits are either geographically restricted to a few areas or are too deep to easily mine. Other regions lack sources of potash brine from groundwater or surface water. Thus, some areas of the world rely heavily on potash imports.
When building a greenfield potash mine, K+S Potash Canada managed a smooth handover from the EPC firms to the construction site, and then to the owner-operator2 Seamless information handover on a complex project with 11 different EPC firms working simultaneously Where digital transformation makes a difference in mining Break down silos
Potash is any salt, mined or manufactured, which contains the element potassium (K) in water-soluble form. Primary potash minerals include potassium chloride (KCl or sylvite), potassium sulfate [K 2 SO 4 or sulfate of potash (SO P), usually a manufactured product], and potassium-magnesium sulfate [K 2 SO 4 •2MgSO 4 or langbeinite or double sulfate of potash magnesia …
Potash also is found in residues of alcohol distilleries and sugar beet factories. Animal and even human waste are considered as manure sources. Feeding the world. Widespread use of potassium-rich silicates has been held back by the slow rate of potassium release from such materials and the high cost of processing with respect to potash mining.
SASKATOON, Saskatchewan & LONDON, December 07, 2021--Gensource Potash Corporation ("Gensource" or the "Company") (AIM/TSXV: GSP), a fertilizer development company focused on sustainable potash production, announces that certain consultants to the Company have exercised previously issued Stock Options for gross proceeds of $98,500.
The next step in the process is to separate the potash ore from the NaCl and remaining impurities. This is accomplished by flotation, a process commonly used in mining concentrators for many minerals in the mining industry. Potash ore slurry of 20-40% by weight is prepared in a flotation tank by adding additional brine.
The Udon potash project is a world-class, shallow sylvinite deposit averaging 24% K2O grade and 3.7 m in thickness. It will be mined by conventional room and pillar techniques, and tailings will be returned underground via a hydraulic slurry backfilling system. Current mine planning sets the mine life at 22 years, although there is the ...
This report summarizes the primary sources of potash in the United States. Potash is an essential nutrient that, along with phosphorus and nitrogen, is used as fertilizer for growing crops. Plants require sufficient potash to activate enzymes, which in turn catalyze chemical reactions important for water uptake and photosynthesis. When potassium is available in quantities …
Our Business. Mosaic mines, produces and distributes millions of tonnes of high quality potash and phosphates products each year. Without fertilizers, the world's crop yields would be cut in half, and farmers around the world look to Mosaic to help keep their soils healthy, to nourish their crops and to maximize their yields.
Solikamsk-2 Potash Mine Collapse (1995) Collapse of the Solikamsk-2 potash mine, Verkhnekamsky deposit, in the Upper Kama district of western Ural, Russia resulted in a 4.7 magnitude seismic event on January 5, 1995 and 4.5 m of surface subsidence (17). Underground, a "massive falling of the mine roof" was noted over a 600 m by 600 m area
Intrepid Potash, Inc., solution mines the potash of salt cycles 5 and 9 at its Moab mine. Potash Resource The salt-bearing zone in the Paradox Basin is about 4000 feet thick and is composed of 10 percent potash beds, 25 percent shale beds (with …
With a processing recovery rate of 95%, the mine could operate for over 200 years at the target production rate of 146,000 tonnes per annum. By limiting mine life to 40 years, Western Potash will use excess reserves to either extend the mine life or increase production.
