Abstract:

Through the natural evaporation test,the deep brine of Yahu anticline structure was studied,and the enrichment law and salt evolution law of each element in the natural evaporation process of the brine were obtained.Affected by the high content of calcium,the brine evaporation route was shifted significantly in the K+,Na+,Mg2+//Cl--H2O(25 ℃) metastable phase diagram,which could be combined with the Na+,K+,Mg2+,Ca2+//Cl--H2O(25 ℃,Saturated with NaCl) metastable phase diagram to analyze the experimental data.The sequence of mineral precipitation during natural evaporation of brine was gypsum→halite→carnallite→Antarcticite→tachydrite.Carnallite production was small and its quality was not high.Li was concentrated to about 2.9 g/L,and trace elements such as B,Sr,Br,I,Rb and Cs were separated out.The experimental data and conclusions provided a basis for further comprehensive development and utilization of this type of brine,such as the gradient extraction of boric acid,lithium carbonate,bromine and other products after early calcium removal.

Key words: Yahu structure, deep brine, high calcium content, natural evaporation, gradient development
