Potash ores are the materials employed in manufacture of certain fertilizers, potash, and different chemicals. Its composition include sylvite (KCl) & halite (NaCl) as well as presence of carnalite, anhydrite, silicate, and carbonate (insoluble residue). The chemical processing of potash ore involves hot leaching, followed by crystallization of potash salt from saturated salt brines. This method is dependent upon physiochemical properties of potassium chloride, sodium chloride, & water, and used for manufacturing potassium compounds in granular and white crystalline form. The mechanical processing method for potash ore is floatation, which is dependent upon the capacities of sylvite and halite surfaces that are moistened with water via adding specific chemicals such as surfactants.
The growth global potash ores market is driven by the development of fertilizer industry, as potash is an important fertilizer meant for crop and plant nutrition. In addition, potash ores are useful during waste water treatment, which supplements the market growth. However, fluctuation in potassium chloride prices hampers the market growth. Ongoing R&D activities on potash as bio-fertilizers are anticipated to provide growth opportunities for the market.
