JORDAN. 2020. Phosphate mining.

Moises Saman

Phosphate mining near Jordan's Dead Sea – a glimpse into one of the region's critical industries, where vast landscapes are shaped by the extraction of this valuable mineral. The process supports Jordan's economy while posing environmental challenges, with the Dead Sea's unique ecosystem nearby.

Jordan is the 8th largest potash producer worldwide, and the sole producer in the Arab world. Potash mining in the Dead Sea operated by Jordan’s Arab Potash Company.

In most parts of the world, potash is mined, but in the Dead Sea it is extracted from the mineral in seawater. The technology is based on the use of evaporation ponds that take advantage of the region’s high temperatures and low humidity.

The Dead Sea mining area is crisscrossed by 2-metre-deep evaporation ponds. The salt ponds hold the brine that is not needed in the industrial production process. The carnallite is removed from the harvester ponds by a raft-like harvester.
