Impact of potash mining in streams: the Llobregat basin (northeast Spain) as a case study [PDF]
Journal of Limnology, 2016 Potash mining is significantly increasing the salt concentration of rivers and streams due to lixiviates coming from the mine tailings. In the present study, we have focused on the middle Llobregat basin (northeast Spain), where an important potash ...

Stock market response to potash mine disasters [PDF]
Journal of Commodity Markets, 2017 We examine the stock market reaction to natural and man-made disasters in potash mines. We use a sample of 44 mining accidents worldwide over the period 1995-2016. A quarter of the accidents were the result of a natural disaster, such as flooding, that often ended in the closure of the potash mine.

Improved Technology with Backfilling in Potash Mines
TechnologiesThe development of potash deposits is generally accompanied by large losses of minerals in the subsurface. The main reason for these losses is the use of a room-and-pillar mining system, where left pillars hold the overlying rock strata and aquifers ...
