Silica Extraction from Geothermal Solution

  • Published:
Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

Experiments are conducted for silica precipitation from hydrothermal solution by cryogenic technology. For silica precipitated, the physico-chemical characteristics ensuring reduction in process duration and energy expenditures are established.
