| Abstract | The exhaustion of the mineral resources, environmental problems, and appearance of new, more perfect technologies necessitate the development of unconventional raw materials, one of which is geothermal. With growth of thermodynamic parametres of heat-carriers the chemical activity and energy of deduction of mineral connections by geothermal steam increases while passing through the rocks. Therefore, if low-temperature heat-carriers containing chemical compounds can be defined by their balneal properties, it is necessary to consider middle and high-temperature heat-carriers with a high content of chemical compounds as liquid ores. A complex approach is required to more efficiently utilize geothermal resources, including their mineral components. |
