Abstract: A pond for cooling and/or recovering salt from a hot aqueous solution of a salt such as potassium chloride produced by solution mining. The pond comprises a plurality of channels arranged side-by-side, each of the channels being defined by a plurality of sides. An inlet is provided in a side of a channel for receiving the aqueous solution, and an outlet is provided in a side of another one of the channels for discharging the aqueous solution. The pond has at least one dike separating the channels from one another. A gap is formed in each dike to permit the aqueous solution to flow between the channels, the gap having a length which is about 10 to about 40 percent of the length of the sides of the channels. Salt is crystallized and the solution is cooled as it passes through the channels of the pond.

Abstract translation: 用于从溶液开采产生的盐如氯化钾的热水溶液中冷却和/或回收盐的池。 该池包括并排设置的多个通道，每个通道由多个侧面限定。 在用于接收水溶液的通道的侧面设置有入口，并且在另一个通道的一侧设置有用于排出水溶液的出口。 池塘至少有一个堤坝将渠道彼此分开。 在每个堤坝中形成间隙以允许水溶液在通道之间流动，间隙具有通道侧面长度的约10至约40％的长度。 盐结晶，溶液在通过池塘的通道时冷却。
