Introduction of Chaka Salt Lake Product Resources
Chaka Salt Lake is famous for its rich "Daqingyan", which is an ideal edible salt with large and pure salt particles and mellow taste. However, you can't eat it directly. The annual rainfall in the lake area is small, and the amount of water injected each year is particularly small. In addition, it has strong evaporation, so its salt content is extremely high. Because its salt crystals contain minerals, and the salt crystals are blue-black, it is called "green salt".
The content of potassium and magnesium salts in brine in dry season is higher than that in rainy season, which is the best time to mine potassium and magnesium salts. In dry season, the highest content of potassium chloride in lake water is 2.0 1%, and the average value is 1. 15%, which has reached the level of independent mining. A few years later, the mined brine recrystallized into a salt layer.
