Stassfurt Potash Works

Stassfurt Potash Works is a large industrial facility in Germany that extracts potash from underground salt deposits. Potash is a vital mineral used mainly in fertilizers to help crops grow. The process involves drilling into the salt layers, then dissolving the potash-containing minerals with water to create a brine. This brine is then processed through evaporation and chemical treatments to produce purified potash salts. The plant plays a key role in global fertilizer production, contributing to sustainable agriculture by providing essential nutrients for food cultivation.
