Abstract: Rubidium and lithium are homologous elements with similar properties.A lot of studies in recent years have shown that rubidium has important applications in many fields.The United States, Japan and other western developed countries mostly use rubidium in high-tech fields, with relatively mature and closed technology and leading application position.In China, rubidium is mostly used in traditional fields such as industry, biomedicine and so on.Relevant research data are mostly focused on the metallogenic regularity and extraction technology.By combing the general situation of rubidium resources, this paper studies the development and utilization of rubidium resources, and puts forward policy suggestions from the perspectives of resource protection and development, industrial development and technology tackling.
