青海盐湖锂盐开发与环境

Exploitation of Lithium in Salt Lakes and Environment

锂和锂盐到 2 1世纪在能源和新材料方面具有重要的意义 ,过去锂盐生产主要来自锂矿石 ,今后将主要来自盐湖卤水 ,我国矿石锂盐生产已面临严峻局面。青海盐湖锂、钾、镁和硼含量高 ,储量大 ,为迎接新能源和新材料时代的到来 ,发展西部少数民族地区经济 ,建议把“青海盐湖锂盐开发与环境”列为国家重点研究规划项目。

Lithium and lithium Salts will gain much importance in the fields of energy and new material science. In passed years, lithium salts were produced mainly from lithium-containing minerals. But at the beginning of 21th Century, they will primarily come from salt lake brines,some brines in the salt lakes of chaidamu Basin, Qinghai province, have huge amount of lithium with a high content and other salts as well, In order to help develop our western economy, it is suggested that the exploitation of lithium in salt lakes and the relevant environmental protection be listed as a major national research project.
