K- MAX

K-Max®

The K-Max® technology is a hydrometallurgical process for treating glauconite and other micaceous minerals in order to extract valuable products, including potash. The technology is also suitable for producing potassium sulphate (SOP), potassium magnesium sulphate (KMS), phosphoric acid, iron oxide and aluminum sulphate.

ADVANTAGES

Advantages of K-Max® technology include

  • Enables the production of a range of products from unconventional minerals, mainly micaceous minerals
  • Efficient hydrometallurgical process with numerous potential applications
  • Potential to utilise the technology to produce potassium sulphate (SOP), potassium magnesium sulphate (KMS), phosphoric acid, iron oxide and aluminum sulphate
    APPLICATIONS

    The K-Max® technology enables the production of a range of products from unconventional minerals, mainly micaceous minerals including

    • Glauconite mineral resources
    • Phlogopite mineral resources

     

    Several years ago, Parkway performed several studies to evaluate the potential of constructing a K-Max® plant in the Dandaragan Trough, in Western Australia. The proposed K-Max® flowsheet involved the leaching of recovered glauconite with sulphuric acid and the subsequent processing in order to produce a sulphate of potash (SOP) and potassium magnesium sulphate (KMS) product.
