Abstract Complex researches have focused on chloride brines in the large artesian basins of the Siberian Platform. The highly concentrated ground brines are unique natural solutions that are fraught with unsolved mystery associated with their origin and the formation of their chemical composition. Most scientists believe that the most important process controlling the formation of these brines was interaction between palaeoseawaters and host rocks. The newest geochemical and stable isotope data (18О, 2H, 37Cl, 81Br, 87Sr/86Sr) showed that chloride sodium ground brines of the Siberian Platform originated as the result of halogenous rock leaching, whereas chloride calcium brines derive from buried bittern connate waters. The main evolutionary process was a long interaction in the water–rock system. This paper also provides information on the vast resource of multicomponent brines, so-called “liquid ores”, which are widespread over a large area of the Siberian Platform. It is an unconventional hydromineral raw material, whose use and exploitation has an extremely high potential as it may constitute a serious alternative to solid mineral deposits. The innovative methodology and pioneering methods for the processing and extraction of valuable components (especially Li) from brine are suggested.

西伯利亚平台的卤水（俄罗斯）：地球化学和加工前景

摘要 复杂的研究集中在西伯利亚地台大型自流盆地中的氯化物卤水。高度浓缩的地面盐水是独特的天然溶液，充满了与其起源和化学成分形成相关的未解之谜。大多数科学家认为，控制这些卤水形成的最重要过程是古海水和主岩之间的相互作用。最新的地球化学和稳定同位素数据（18О、2H、37Cl、81Br、87Sr/86Sr）表明，西伯利亚地台的氯化钠地面卤水起源于含卤岩石浸出，而氯化钙卤水则来自埋藏的卤水原生水。主要的演化过程是在水-岩系统中的长期相互作用。本文还提供了有关多组分卤水（即所谓的“液体矿石”）的大量资源的信息，这些卤水广泛分布在西伯利亚地台的大片区域。它是一种非常规的水力矿物原料，其使用和开发具有极高的潜力，因为它可能成为固体矿床的重要替代品。提出了从盐水中加工和提取有价值成分（尤其是锂）的创新方法和开创性方法。
