The Characteristics and Genesis of Boron Deposits in Da Qaidam Salt Lake of Qaidam Basin
The Qaidam Basin is the largest industrial base in Salt Lake,and the Salt Lake Basin is an im-portant solid-liquid boron deposit in the basin,which is rich in boron,lithium,potassium,magnesium,so-dium,bromine,iodine and so on.In order to provide an important basis for the full development and appli-cation of Da Qaidam Salt Lake,through the study of dachaidan geological background,brine reservoir geo-logical characteristics,based on the analysis of the hydrogeological and hydrochemical characteristics of the water(surface brine),buried brine and confined brine in the lake,it is considered that boron and lithium in the lake come from the deep part of the Earth,and the fault structure is a salt-conducting struc-ture,the salts such as potassium,sodium and magnesium come from the peripheral granite,and the neotec-tonic movement formed the Da Qaidam faulted basin to accept the sediments,the formation of high salinity brine,the corresponding boron,potassium,lithium dissolved in the brine,the formation of brine(liquid boron ore).
