Abstract

The article considers statistical properties of surfaces of sylvinite, spathic salt and carnallite grains in nanorange. The authors describe processed experimental data obtained on scanning microprobe Dimension ICON in nanorange for grains of the Upper Kama potassium and potash-magnesium rock salts. Fractal dimension determined by minimum covering method is used as a characteristic of the grain surface irregularity. The authors find differences in the statistic properties of one-dimension divergent cuts of the grain surfaces.
