Abstract. It is known from soluble salt flotation practice that the K, Mg double salts of kainite (KClMgSO 4 3H 2 O), and carnallite (KClMgCl 2 6H 2 O) are difficult to float and must be converted to other salts such as schoenite (K 2 SO 4 MgSO 4 6H 2 O) and sylvite (KCl) in order to recover potash values. The flotation characteristics of these double salts have now been …
