Qinghai Province is an important salt lake resource province in China. Among them, Chaka Salt Lake and Chaerhan Salt Lake are the two most famous salt lakes in Qinghai Province. Chaka Salt Lake is located in Chaka Town, Wulan County, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, and is one of the four major salt lakes in Qaidam Basin. Chaka Salt Lake covers an area of about 65,438+000 square kilometers with a salt content of about 400 million tons. The salt crystals in Chaka Salt Lake are large, pure in texture and mellow in salt taste, and the produced salt is sold to many provinces and regions in China.
Chaerhan Salt Lake, located in Golmud City, Qinghai Province, is the largest salt lake in Asia and the second in the world. Chaerhan Salt Lake covers an area of about 5,800 square kilometers and has a salt content of about 50 billion tons. The salt crystals in Chaerhan Salt Lake are of excellent quality and are ideal industrial salts.
Qinghai salt lake resources
Salt lake resources in Qinghai Province are mainly distributed in Qaidam Basin and Hoh Xil Plateau. There are 43 salt lakes in Qaidam Basin, covering an area of about 16509 square kilometers, which is the main salt lake distribution area. There are 28 salt lakes in the Hoh Xil Plateau, covering an area of about 2,476 square kilometers, which are secondary salt lakes.
Generally speaking, salt lakes in Qinghai Province are very rich in salt production, and their salt lake resources occupy an important position in the country. Moreover, the salt crystals in Qinghai Salt Lake are of excellent quality and are ideal industrial and edible salts. Therefore, China implements fixed-point production management of salt. Edible salt in China is mainly divided into well salt, lake salt and sea salt, 90% of which are well salt and lake salt. The production of well salt and lake salt is not affected by the discharge of nuclear polluted water in Japan, so people don't have to hoard too much salt.
