This paper investigates technological improvements aimed at increasing the efficiency of the flotation process used in potassium chloride beneficiation. Flotation is the most widely applied method for separating KCl from NaCl and insoluble residues in sylvinite ores. However, conventional flotation often faces limitations in recovery, selectivity, and energy consumption. The research focuses on optimizing flotation parameters, reagent schemes, and circuit design to achieve higher recovery and purity while minimizing environmental impact. Experimental results indicate that the application of eco-friendly collectors, multi-stage flotation circuits, and column flotation significantly improve the overall efficiency of the process. The outcomes provide valuable insights for the potash industry, ensuring sustainable production of fertilizer-grade potassium chloride
