Research progress in separation and extraction of boron from salt lakes brine of Qaidam Basin
Qaidam Basin is an important storage area for salt lakes in China.There are a large amount of different elements,such as potassium,magnesium,lithium,and boron containing in the salt lakes of Qaidam Basin.The comprehensive utilization of salt lakes has attached intense attention.The separation of boron with high efficiency from the salt lakes is one of the most important parts in the utilization of salt lakes.The separation methods of boron from the salt lakes in Qaidam Basin were summarized.The mechanisms and problems of each method were introduced.The research direction of the separation of boron from the salt lakes in Qaidam Basin was also prospected.
