Abstract
TConsidering the present state of the world mineral resources, it is shown out that hightemperature geothermal fluids can he used to extract valuable minerals. For this purpose a technology was devised and experimental vortex equipment was built and tested under laboratory conditions. It was proved that any technological process for concentrating valuable materials (including geothermal fluids) demanded a certain vortex flow structure to optimize heat-and-mass transfer.
