    摘要:

    锂作为国家战略性关键紧缺矿产资源,随着现代科技的不断进步,需求量会不断增加。寻找更多的锂矿资源,降低进口依赖度,保障国家资源安全,已是迫在眉睫。黏土型锂矿床作为锂矿的重要类型之一,因分布面积广,资源潜力巨大,越来越受到关注,或可成为锂矿资源的重要补充,既是今后矿产资源勘查的重要方向之一,也是破解锂矿资源紧缺局面的重要途径。黏土型锂矿床已取得不少进展,但也存在一些问题,一定程度上制约了对黏土型锂矿床勘查与开发。通过文献查阅、政府和企业官网的情报收集,结合自身锂矿勘查实践,发现影响和制约黏土型锂矿床勘查与开发的主要问题有五个:一是对黏土型锂矿床资源潜力认识不充分,前景不看好,未给予足够重视;二是缺乏指导勘查工作的规范性依据;三是矿产资源管理与矿业权管理中的不利因素导致勘查力度不足;四是勘查研究过程对于矿石选冶加工技术性能重视程度不够,工艺流程尚不成熟。特别是经济合理、环境友好型的分离提取技术和工艺流程尚在探索阶段;五是可供勘查评价与找矿预测的超常富集成因机制与找矿模型的基础研究尚不深入。针对以上5个问题,提出5个方面的思考与建议,以期加快黏土型锂矿床的勘查开发步伐,可望缓解锂矿资源紧缺和供需矛盾紧张现状。① 呼吁地勘行业重视黏土型锂矿床,将黏土型锂矿床按独立的新矿种类型对待。在充分利用煤、铝等勘查老资料进行二次开发的基础上,对异常区进行验证性调查,圈定可供勘查的找矿有利区段或找矿靶区,为黏土型锂矿勘查部署提供依据;② 通过选择有代表性的区块开展勘查开发试验研究和工程示范,尽快研究出台黏土型锂矿床勘查规范,为今后规范黏土型锂矿勘查工作提供作业依据;③ 从矿权现行管理制度出发,按照“公益先行,基金衔接,商业跟进,整装勘查,快速突破”二十字方针,一方面建议国家和地方政府设置专门的地勘基金,加大地勘基金财政投入,形成一批可供进一步勘查的矿产地,一方面建议矿产资源管理部门释放更多的勘查空间,引入更多社会资本,充分调动勘查市场的活力,为国家提供强有力的资源保障;④ 建议加大锂元素不同赋存状态及其不同占比情形下的分离提取试验投入,尽快形成技术可靠、经济合理、环境友好的工艺流程;⑤ 在梳理并聚焦制约勘查评价、开发利用及找矿预测工作的相关科技问题,通过科技攻关,为锂矿勘查开发提供强有力的科技支撑。通过上述主要瓶颈问题的有效解决,以期实现锂矿资源的重大找矿突破,形成一批可供工业规模开发的黏土型锂矿资源基地,继而从根本上解决锂矿资源紧缺现状和高度依赖进口的局面。

    Abstract:

    Lithium is a key international and domestic strategic shortage of mineral resources, the traditional brine- type lithium, hard rock- type lithium deposits cannot meet the growing demand of modern high- tech industry. The clay- type lithium deposit distribution area is wide, with huge resource potential has not been effectively developed, which is a major topic concerned by the industry(objectives). Through consulted literatures, collected information on government and enterprise official websites, combined with our own lithium exploration practicing(methods), it is found that there are five main problems affecting and restricting the exploration and development of clay- type lithium deposits: ① The resource potential of clayey lithium deposits is not fully understood, the prospect is not promising, and insufficient attention is not paid to it. ② The lack of normative basis to guide the exploration work. ③ The unfavorable factors of mineral resources management and mining rights management lead to insufficient exploration. ④ In the process of exploration and research, the technical performance of ore separation, metallurgy and processing is not paid enough attention, and the technological process is not mature, especially the economical and environmentally friendly separation and extraction technology and process are still in the exploration stage. ⑤ The basic research on the genetic mechanism and prospecting model of supernormal enrichment which can be used for exploration evaluation and prospecting prediction is still not thorough. In view of the above five problems, five aspects of thinking and suggestions are put forward in order to accelerate the pace of exploration and development of clayey lithium deposits, which is expected to alleviate the shortage of lithium resources and the tension between supply and demand. ① The geological prospecting industry should pay more attention to clayey lithium deposits and treat them as independent new mineral types. On the basis of making full use of the old exploration data such as coal and aluminum for secondary development, the verification survey is carried out on the abnormal areas, and the favorable ore- prospecting areas or ore- prospecting targets are delineated to provide the basis for the exploration and deployment of clayey lithium ore. ② Through the selection of representative blocks to carry out exploration and development test research and engineering demonstration, study and issue the clay lithium deposit exploration standards as soon as possible, to provide a standard for the future clay lithium ore exploration work. ③ Proceeding from the current mining right management system, in accordance with the two- cross principle of “public welfare first, fund linkage, commercial follow- up, complete exploration and rapid breakthrough”, on one hand, it is suggested that the national and local governments set up special geological prospecting funds, increase the financial input of geological prospecting funds, and form a batch of mineral production areas for further exploration. On the other hand, it is suggested that the mineral resources management departments release more exploration space. Introduce more social capital, fully mobilize the vitality of the exploration market, and provide a strong resource guarantee for the country. ④ It is suggested to increase the experimental investment of separation and extraction under different lithium occurrence states and different proportions, so as to form a technically reliable, economically reasonable and environmentally friendly technological process as soon as possible. ⑤ The fifth is to sort out and focus on the relevant scientific and technological issues that restrict the exploration evaluation, development and utilization and prospecting prediction, and to provide strong scientific and technological support for the exploration and development of lithium ore through scientific and technological breakthroughs(results). The above major bottleneck problems need the concerted efforts of the government, enterprises and scientific research universities to put forward solutions and measures in order to achieve an important breakthrough in the exploration strategy of lithium resources, form a batch of clay lithium deposit resource bases for industrial scale development, and then fundamentally solve the shortage of lithium resources and the situation of high dependence on imports.
