Abstract
Disclosed is a method of increasing the solution mining rate of potassium chloride from a cavity in a subterranean ore deposit containing potassium chloride and sodium chloride, in which cavity ore has been rubblized to effect a large contact surface area, by (1) solution mining the ore rubble at a first temperature for a time sufficient to determine the mining rate at that temperature; (2) increasing the temperature of the cavity solution to a temperature determined to be near the highest temperature at which the invariant composition is achievable at the solvent dissolving rate; and (3) solution mining the ore at the higher temperature.
