ABSTRACT:
An "in-situ reactor" is provided to facilitate recovery of metals and salts such as potassium, lithium, gold from salt-bearing natural waters, sediments, and rocks by passing a fluid containing such metals and salts through a reactive chemical bed placed at the bottom of a reactor, the metal and salt bearing fluid flowing through the reactive chemical bed to react with the active components to produce a fluid from which the metals and salts can be more easily extracted.
