Economic Aspects and Uses. Total world production of potassium products is 29,000,000 tons per year (65). Potassium chloride is removed from brine at Moab, and Wendover, Utah, and at Seades Lake, California. Potassium sulfate is made from Great Salt Lake brine by Great Salt Lake Minerals Corp., which is the largest producer of solar potassium sulfate in the wodd. Combined, these U.S. faciUties stiU produce a relatively small percentage of potash fertilizers in the wodd. Production from the Dead Sea, for example, is 10 times greater than production of potassium from brines in the United States. More than 95% of all the potassium produced is used in fertilizer blends. The remainder is converted to other potassium chemicals for industdal use (see Potassium compounds).

How can we then tap the scientific talent of the country and draw them into the process, so that we do not have to continue to compartmentalize and confine the research in the relevant areas into the few pigeonholes in which it is at present being carried on, such as the Chemical Corps, OCDM, the Surgeon Generali Office, and a few more They all are doing a superb job within the strait jacket of limited funds and limited capacities—but even if their scope were widened, it would still not be sufficient to promote what I would like to call, in this company of chemists, the probability of collision and interaction between personal ideas among the numerous fertile minds that are living outside those confines in the scientific community, ready to be tapped.
