ISL scientists visited Israel Chemicals Ltd. (ICL), its research and dev institute and pilot plant in Haifa and potash facilities at Dead Sea upon invitation in late October 2009.
By virtue of affluent salt lake resources of Dead Sea, Israel has a long history of technological advantage in developing salt lake potassium, magnesium, bromine resources. The country is in a leading position in the technologies of producing potassium chloride, magnesium hydroxide retardants, magnesium alloys and bromine.
It is significant to learn their technologies in developing salt lake resources as well as the corresponding management expertise, in that it may boost the exploitation of China western salt lakes.
