Industrial use of brine and playa, for extracting potassium and its seeking between multiple playa in Iran

There are more than 60 large and small playa In Iran. One of them¡ is Khoor playa. The aim of this study is investigate the reason of choice for extraction minerals from Khoor playa in Iran. With extensive studies and various reports¡ Khoor playa features was locating the best place with having the best conditions¡ for the construction of KCl from playa. In Khoor Playa has been exploration in two stages: exploration¡ identification¡ networking¡ roads construction¡ sampling and next stage is exploration on the salt crust was made with an area of 1000 square kilometers. Exploratory studies were conducted in Khoor playa in 2¡000 square kilometers. Brine extraction for usable area is 1000 square kilometers and salt crust average thickness is 6 meters. Taking into account the porosity of 10%¡ 600 million cubic meters of brine was estimated available in the playa¡ if the coefficient of 75% to determine the extractable brine consider¡ this amount is 450 million cubic meters. The reasons for choice this Playa compared to another playa in Iran are high grade KCl¡ large area and thickness of the shell salt¡ high brine reserves¡ close to town and access roads built.
