氟——我国矿产资源开发利用的新矿种

Fluorine——A New Type of Minerals Exploited and Utilized in China

氟是一种非金属化学元素,中国氟化工行业绝大多数产品是以萤石作为传统原材料。当前我国矿产资源管理中与氟有关的矿种只有萤石一种。磷矿中伴生氟是最具利用价值的氟资源之一,我国磷矿资源中蕴藏着巨大的(伴生)氟资源,从资源远景看,磷矿石中伴生的氟资源远多于萤石。磷矿中的伴生氟以碳氟磷灰石的形式存在,目前伴生氟资源已经在贵州等地得到开发利用。管理好、利用好(伴生)氟资源既具有资源意义,又具有经济意义和环境意义,建议把(伴生)氟资源作为一种新的矿种进行管理,促进(伴生)氟资源的开发利用,为社会造福。

Fluorine is a nonmetallic chemical element, and the fluorite is a traditional raw material for the most commodities produced in the Chinese fluorine chemical industry. Nowadays fluorite is only the fluorine-contained mineral under the Chinese mineral resources management. The associated fluorine in phosphate rock is one of the most usable and valuable fluorine resources, and China has gigantic （associated） fluorine resource in its phosphate rock. From the view of resource prospects, the associated fluorine resource in phosphate rock is far more than in fluorite. The associated fluorine resource in phosphate rock exists in form of carbonate-fluorapatite, which has been exploited in Guizhou and other provinces. Good management and exploitation of the associated fluorine not only have resource significance, but also have economic significance and environmental significance, so that the suggestions should be set forth to manage it as a new type of minerals and promote the development and exploitation of the associated fluorine, in favor of the society.
