Abstract

Series of experiments on seepage of water solutions of nickel and cobalt though an evaporation barrier in a porous low rock mass is described. Evaporation intensity shows tendency toward linear decrease with time due to change of the rock mass porosity as a consequence of salt precipitation in the subsurface aeration zone. It is possible to control evaporation intensity by redistributing vertical zonality of precipitate in the subsurface zone. The authors find mechanism of precipitated salt distribution in subsoil.
