RB 45/00099 Recovery of potassium from bitterns, part 1 (RD 69).
Imported potassium salts are obtained from materials which require only simple and cheap methods of treatment. Because of the complex nature of salt bitterns, more costly methods of extraction are required. It is unlikely that any of the methods of...-
