ABSTRACT:
In a treatment of carnallitic ores by treatment with a decomposition-brine containing amounts of MgCl.sub.2, KCl and NaCl suitable for precipitating artificial sylvinite in a solution of MgCl.sub.2 saturated in KCl and NaCl, the improvement of adding to said decomposition-brine a collector, e.g., a fatty amine acetate, for the flotation of KCl and a source of gas, preferably a gas-liberating additive such as H.sub.2 O.sub.2, so as to contact newly formed crystal nucleii of KCl selectively with said collector and to contact bubbles of said gas with said collector so as to form a froth enriched in KCl simultaneously with the decomposition of said carnallite, the process being particularly useful for treatment of underground carnallitic ore whereby the froth and brine are withdrawn at the surface, separated, and the brine, after make-up additions, is recycled to the ore formation.
