Abstract
1396381 Solution mining INTERNATIONAL SALT CO 27 March 1972 [29 March 1971] 14306/72 Heading E1F [Also in Division F4] A method of mining salt from the sides only of a cavity 10 and for providing for underground storage of industrial fluids. The method involves adding to the cavity in any suitable order a salt solvent, e.g. water or brine and a low heat conductivity liquid, e.g. a liquified industrial fluid, a salt solvent, e.g. water or brine and a fluid of low heat conductivity and of a specific gravity less than the solvent and the liquid, which like the fluid will not attack the salt, whereby the . cavity is completely filled by a bottom layer of liquid, an intermediate layer of solvent, and an upper layer of fluid, and then adding further solvent to the cavity whilst removing solvent of a higher salt concentration from the cavity so that salt is only dissolved from the sides of the cavity in the salt deposit. The liquid may be liquid chlorine, carbon tetrachloride, carbon bisulphide, or the like. The fluid may be air, nitrogen, freon, krypton, zenon, neon, argon, benzine or light hydrocarbons. The salt deposit may be rock salt, sodium borate, potash or the like. The cavity as it is being enlarged or on reaching a final size may be used for storing industrial fluids such as specified above. U.S.A. Specifications 2555340, 2876182 and 3348883 are referred to.
