一、前言柴达木盆地是一个陆相山间盆地,具有高山深盆的成盐环境。在漫长的地壳演化进程中,沉积形成了大量的盐湖矿产资源,主要有钾、镁、钠、硼、锶、锂等盐类矿物及其他微量元素。经过几代盐湖地质工作者半个多世纪的勘查,基本查明了第四系盐湖矿产赋存状况和开发条件。同时, I. Introduction The Qaidam Basin is a terrestrial mountain basin with salt-forming environment of high mountains and deep basins. During the long process of crustal evolution, a large number of salt lake mineral resources have been formed, mainly including salts of minerals such as potassium, magnesium, sodium, boron, strontium and lithium and other trace elements. After several generations of geological exploration workers in Salt Lake more than half a century of exploration, basically identified Quaternary Salt Lake mineral deposit conditions and development conditions. Simultaneously,
