摘要

Objective Lop Nur is one of the world's largest Quaternary salt lakes and is currently a playa.In this lake,unique giant glauberite deposits occur,of which the intercrystalline pores host super-large liquid potash deposits.Recently,it has been thought that the potassium-rich brine was formed when the enormous quantity of glauberite deposited.To clarify this issue 14C dating for brine is used to provide new evidence of chronology illustrating the relationship of potassium-rich brine with the host glauberite rock and improve our understanding of the formation mechanism of the brine in Lop Nur playa.
