KCl drying: Potash is typically rich in potassium chloride (KCl), sodium chloride (NaCl) and other salts, and is obtained by dissolution mining and evaporation methods from brines.
Approximately 95% of potash production is fertilizer used for agricultural purposes. The most common form of potash fertilizer is potassium chloride (KCl) but can also include potassium carbonate (K2CO3), potassium sulfate (K2SO4), or potassium nitrate (KNO3). After potash is mined it is processed to create a commercial product.
Potash drying in a fluid bed dryer […]

Sea salt is salt produced from the evaporation of seawater. Its use is practical only in warm climates where the evaporation rate exceeds the precipitation rate, either annually or for extended periods, and ideally, where there are steady prevailing winds. When an adequate layer of salt has built up on the pan floor, harvesting commences. A machine digs up the salt, deposits it onto a conveyor belt, which carries it to trucks. Contracted workers also harvest by hand. The raw salt is […]
