Abstract
A process for solution mining of minerals is disclosed. The process comprises injecting an unsaturated stream () at an injection pressure into a mineral formation () to dissolve the mineral and extracting a high concentration stream () containing said dissolved mineral. The process comprising converting latent osmotic energy present in said high concentration stream into an increase in the total pressure of said stream by passage through an osmotic power unit () and generating electricity and reducing to the injection pressure the total pressure of a reduced concentration output stream () by passage through a power generating device () and using the reduced concentration output stream () at the injection pressure as the unsaturated stream (). A process for storing a fuel in an underground formation is also disclosed.
