Source and genesis of Ca-Cl type brines in Qaidam Basin, Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau: evidence from hydrochemistry as well as B and Li isotopes
Ca-Cl brine is a highly mineralized special water body occurring in oceanic ridges or basins. The deep part of the western Qaidam Basin is rich in Ca-Cl brine, which is essential for the formation of (MgSO4-deficient) potash deposits. Previous studies on this type of brine in the Qaidam Basin focuse...
