Abstract

The material composition of potassium and potassium-magnesium salts of the Upper Pechora salt-bearing basin was studied, their lithological variability was established over the area of productive strata, depending on the tectonic features of the foundation. The main mining and geological conditions that complicate the possibility of their extraction and the environmental conditions for organizing mining and processing production of mineral salts were established. The basic physical and technological properties of sylvinite and carnallite rocks mined by the mine method were studied for their enrichment by halurgical and flotation methods. The objectives of the work were: determining the material composition, studying textural and structural features and assessing the technological processing of potassium rocks in the Upper Pechora salt-bearing basin. When solving the problems, the following methods were used: a study of the textural and structural features of sylvinites using the petrographic method; the chemical composition of samples and solutions was analyzed by AES spectrometry; the mineral composition of the water-insoluble residue is determined by X-ray quantitative phase analysis.
