随着人们对盐类矿产及硼、锂、铷、溴等稀散元素资源的开发利用与现代沉积作用研究的开展,盐湖地质工作日益受到重视,并在近20年来取得了显著的进展。就其研究内容和研究方法来说,已在众多方面产生了深刻的变化。其发展状况可简述如下:一、加强了盐湖盐类沉积机理和沉积模式的研究六十年代以前盐湖科学的发展,主要是物理化学工作者,通过物化分析,做出相图,阐明了海水和各种不同化学类型的内陆盐湖水,盐类矿物的析出系列或矿物结晶与卤水成分及溶解度等因素的相互关系。而在地质上的研究比较薄弱,且多限于一般的调查、找矿,对盐 With the development of salt mineral resources and development of modern rare earth elements such as boron, lithium, rubidium and bromine, the geological work of salt lake has been paid more and more attention, and remarkable progress has been made in the past 20 years. In its research content and research methods, profound changes have taken place in many aspects. Its development can be briefly described as follows: First, to strengthen salt lake sedimentary mechanism and sedimentary model Salt Lake science before the sixties, mainly physicochemical workers, through physical and chemical analysis, make a phase diagram, clarify the seawater And a variety of chemical types of inland salt lake water, salt mineral precipitation series or mineral crystallization and brine composition and solubility factors such as the interrelationship. However, the research in geology is relatively weak, and more limited to the general survey, prospecting, salt
