Potash Solution Mining Cavern 2D — Brine Saturation & Cavity Growth

Interactive 2D cross-section of a potash solution-mining well: set injection flow, water temperature and rock reactivity to drive a real solubility/mass-transfer model, and watch brine concentration, cavern radius, recovery and roof stability evolve live.

The 3D version of this sim is a decorative rotating-particle scene shared across many mining-equipment pages, with its readouts produced by sine-wave animation rather than any real leaching model. This 2D companion instead builds the actual mechanic the title promises: a solubility and residence-time mass-transfer model used in solution-mining engineering, where injection flow, water temperature and rock reactivity drive brine concentration, dissolution rate and cavern growth, and the on-screen cavern radius, brine colour and extraction flow all move at rates derived from those same numbers.

⚙ Under the hood

Set injection flow rate, water temperature, rock reactivity and time acceleration to drive a KCl solubility and mass-transfer cavern-growth model; watch brine concentration, cavern radius, recovery and roof stability update live alongside the animated injection well, growing cavern and extraction flow.
