Abstract:
By the end of 2014, China’s demand for 150 tons of beryllium resources(metal content) (the same below), but only 54 t production fluctuation.This paper predicts that the average annual growth rate of China’s demand for beryllium will be 3% to 5% by 2030, increasing from more than 150 t in 2015 to 250 t in 2030.Because the grade of beryllium ore in China is generally lower than 0.25%, and 98% of beryllium mine is unusable because of the high mining cost.This paper gives some suggestions ensuring the long-term development of beryllium resources in China, strengthening the exploration and development of beryllium-rich resources and research and development of low-grade beryllium recovery technology, the management of beryllium to state related institutions and setting up a national reserve bank, encouraging state or enterprises to invest abroad in beryllium mining resources.
