Sylvinite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sylvinite is the most important ore for the production of potash in North America. It is a mechanical mixture of sylvite (KCl) and halite (NaCl)[1]. Most Canadian operations mine sylvinite with proportions of about 31% KCl and 66% NaCl with the balance being insoluble clays,anhydrite and in some locations carnallite.
