RE: RE: RE: Solution miningActually, you CAN use salt water for solution mining.
In solution mining, heat brine, a salt water solution, is injected into the mine and circulated throughout to dissolve potash and salt from the walls. Once the compounds have dissolved, submersible pumps transport the solution to an evaporation pond, where the liquid cools and potash and salt crystals consequently settle to the bottom.
This potash is eventually collected with floating dredges and then pumped to a mill for further processing.
