The Lake Wells Potash Project, located 500km northeast of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia nearly didn't exist. It was meant to be a gold-only endeavour until, in 2014, an estimated 18.1 million tonnes (mt) of sulphate of potash (SOP) was stumbled upon, somewhat by accident. Now the project is anticipated to be a stellar fertiliser …
Whereas the first decades of potash research were mainly characterized by work on the fundamentals, from the 1950s onwards, the focus has been on developing more efficient processing technologies: The new flotation process complemented the previously exclusively applied hot leaching process, which requires a high energy consumption.
Technical Writer. Drying potash is a vital aspect of processing the ore into a usable form for the fertilizer production process, as well as in finishing product coming off of the fertilizer production line. The following article highlights the basics of potash drying, including benefits, equipment, and material considerations.
What is Potash? Fertilizer potassium is sometimes called "potash," a term that comes from an early production technique where potassium was leached from wood ashes and concentrated by evaporating the leachate in large iron pots ("pot-ash"). This practice is no longer practical and is not environmentally sustainable.
