Potash West (ASX:PWN) announced that due to the significant amount of test work and investigations done by the Company and its partners, a flowsheet that produces sulphate of potash (SOP), high magnesium SOP, single superphosphate, iron oxide and aluminium sulphate, from glauconite that is extracted from the extensive greensand deposits in the Dandaragan Trough – called the K-Max process – has been developed. The Company is now applying for a patent to protect the value of this process, as other companies have already sought out Potash West on this processing breakthrough.
