Researches of concentratibility of potassium ore of Satimola deposit (Kazakhstan) were carried out according to material of its three core samples. The following measures were carried out on the basis of these researches: chemical and mineral composition of ore was researched together with the type of sylvine shot; fraction analysis of ore was carried out; there was carried out the distribution of basic minerals and products, which form the ore by its thickness. There were carried out the experiments of sylvine flotation from various size ore, using the solutions, saturated by KCl and NaCl and obtained on Satimola deposit ore and Inder open pit water as liquid phase. The following criteria were defined as a result of researches, realized in technological laboratory of «Belgorkhimprom» JSC: potassium ore of Satimola deposit can be concentrated by flotation method with obtaining of condition marketable KCl-concentrate, which corresponds to requirements of State Standard 4568-95, during the technological extraction of 87,5–88 % of KCl into concentrate; required coarseness of ore in the time of flotation is –1(–1,2) mm; mineralized water of Inder open pit can be used at concentration plant both for manufacturing of saturated salt solution (barren solution), depressor andpolyacrylamide solution, as well as for washing of equipment. There was developed the flowsheet, which is the basis of initial data for technical and economic assessment of construction of concentration plant of processing of potassium ores of Satimola deposit with obtaining of final product, containing 95 % of KCl.
