Chaerhan Salt Lake, Golmud, Qinghai.
Data map At present, because the global magnesite production encountered resource bottlenecks and environmental pollution problems, resulting in a tight global magnesia supply, prices all the way higher. This provides an excellent opportunity for the development of magnesium resources in Qinghai Salt Lake Brine, which has been limited by technology and technology and has not been used effectively.
China's enterprises with 10 years of time, self-developed Salt Lake Magnesium Resources Comprehensive utilization of patented technology to fill the high-end production of magnesium products in China Blank- "When the Salt Lake Magnesium industry developed to the same scale as the Salt Lake Potash fertilizer, we can really embark on the circular economy road."
In the recent 2018 Potash potash fertilizer Conference and the Golmud Salt Lake Forum, experts and scholars from all over the world have reached a consensus on the development and production of potash resources.
Global Magnesia Supply Tight
At present, magnesium resources are divided into two categories: one is ore resources, mainly magnesite, also including dolomite, serpentine, brucite, and so on, the other is the Salt Lake brine magnesium resources and seawater magnesium resources, its magnesium resource reserves are larger. According to the introduction, the global proven magnesite reserves of 2.4 billion tons.
The countries with abundant reserves of magnesite include Russia (650 million tonnes, accounting for 27% of total reserves), China (500 million tonnes, accounting for 21% of total reserves) and South Korea (450 million tonnes, accounting for total reserves of 19%), and the Three Kingdoms accounted for 67% of the global magnesite reserves. From the global market of magnesium products, the largest demand is used for steel, nonferrous metallurgy, glass, cement and other industries high-temperature lining refractory materials sintered magnesia and fused Magnesia, the annual demand of about 14 million tons, and then used as magnesium fertilizer, feed and desulfurization agent light burning powder, the demand of about 6 million tons.
In addition, it is used in chemical, rubber, plastics, electronics, ceramics and pharmaceutical food and other fields of magnesium hydroxide and magnesia, this kind of product variety, the market is highly subdivided, the annual demand of about 2 million tons.
Although the global magnesium industry market capacity is limited, but because of the high price of magnesium products, high value-added, magnesium industry's total output and profit level is not lower than soda industry. In the past, China's Liaoning Southern area magnesite Magnesia Enterprise Eminence, attracted Austria, Japan and other world-renowned magnesia and products manufacturers have to Liaoning joint venture to build a plant, the production of various types of Magnesia refractories raw materials and products more than 7 million tons, products covering 90% of the domestic market and 60% of the international market,
Become the world's Magnesia manufacturing center and a veritable Chinese ' magnesium all '. However, in recent years, due to the excessive exploitation of magnesite resources and the indiscriminate excavation of ore grade has been declining, the output of Magnesia products, magnesia content is increasingly low, the quality is getting worse, can not meet the requirements of refractory. On the other hand, the vicious competition of enterprises, coupled with the backwardness of technical equipment, brings serious environmental pollution problems.
Since last year, some companies have been forced to shut down or close, resulting in a tight global supply of magnesia, prices all the way up.
Salt Lake Magnesium industry ushered in opportunities In this regard, China inorganic Salt Industry Association magnesium Compound branch experts and scholars believe that Qinghai Salt Lake magnesium industry ushered in the development opportunities.
The Qaidam basin in China has 33 brine lakes of different sizes, half dried salt Lake and dried Salt Lake, and magnesium salt reserves the first place in the country, accounting for more than 90% of the total magnesium resources in the country. For a long time, the development of the Qaidam Salt Lake Resources mainly to potash production, in the process of potash production will emit a large number of magnesium salt rich old halogen as a companion, each production of 1 tons of potash will produce 12 tons of water magnesium chloride.
However, by the technology, the process is limited, this part of magnesium resources has not been effectively exploited, to the Qinghai Salt Lake potassium brought serious ' magnesium harm '.
From 2006 onwards, in order to make the Qaidam Basin ' magnesium harm ' waste to waste, alleviate the domestic magnesia demand, Western mining group West Magnesium Industry Co., Ltd. and South Central University cooperation, around the magnesium magnesium chloride article, began to explore the Salt Lake Magnesium Resources Comprehensive utilization of new ways, become Qinghai in this field of the first ' eat crab ' business.
Western Mining Group Co., Ltd. Chief chemical expert Xu Hui told reporters that the Chaerhan region potash fertilizer annual emissions of old halogen into water of about 60 million tons, can produce 10 million tons of magnesium oxide, so Qinghai Salt Lake Magnesium Resources Development has a broad market prospects.
Enterprises in 10 years to tackle the fruit Western Magnesium Company to Qinghai Chaerhan Salt Lake Potash Enterprise production waste-water magnesium chloride as raw materials, the use of independent intellectual property rights of the patented technology, built at home and abroad the first annual output of 100,000 tons of high-purity magnesium hydroxide production device, and the device produced high-purity magnesium hydroxide as an intermediate, and further produce high-purity magnesium oxide,
High-purity sintered magnesia and high-purity fused Magnesia, a series of downstream products, filling the production of high-end magnesium products in China blank. As China's only Salt Lake magnesium compound production enterprises, the western Magnesium company with 10 years of continuous improvement process, extend the industrial chain, one at a time to overcome 26 technical difficulties, the production of high-purity magnesium hydroxide, high purity magnesium oxide and other 5 series of products, production capacity and technology have reached the world's leading level.
Products on the market in short supply, orders have been discharged to the end of 2019. In the first half of this year, the West Magnesium company accumulated sales of about 23,000 tons of products to achieve sales revenue of about more than 77 million yuan, product sales and sales revenue has been more than 2017 all year.
Currently, the company plans to further increase the annual capacity of magnesium hydroxide to 200,000 tonnes by introducing technology. Munetoshi, general manager of Shanghai Industrial Chemical Co., Ltd., said that with the rapid development of electric power, electromechanical and other industries, in terms of quality and cost of magnesium and other raw material production enterprises put forward higher requirements.
