中国铼资源特征及其勘查开发利用现状

    Resource characteristics and current situation of exploration, development and utilization of rhenium in China

    • 摘要: 铼(Re)是重要的战略性新兴产业矿产,在现代国防和工业及新兴领域具有广泛的用途。本文在《中国矿产地质志·稀散金属矿卷》研编的基础上,对中国铼矿资源特征和勘查开发利用情况进行进一步总结,认为我国铼矿资源分布比较集中,具有较大的成矿潜力和找矿空间。近年来,铼的矿产勘查取得了重要成果,据不完全统计,截至2021年底,共获得铼查明资源储量787.41 t。从世界上看,铼的规模生产开始于1930年。与世界相比,中国铼工业发展并未形成规模,仍处于初级阶段,且其开发利用严重依赖寄主矿床的开发利用。借鉴国外铼资源的开发利用史,铼的应用从添加剂到催化剂到航空发动机再到量子计算,每一次技术革新都带来对铼资源需求的增长。预测未来10~20 a国内铼的应用将更加多元化,需求也将达到高峰期,铼资源保障程度有待于进一步提高。建议开展全国铼矿资源潜力评价,查明铼的可用资源量和潜力,加强铼资源综合利用和回收产业化,建立铼的战略储备机制。

       

      Abstract: Rhenium (Re) is an important strategic emerging industry mineral with extensive applications in modern defense, industry, and emerging fields. Based on the research and compilation of the Geology of mineral resources in China volume of dispersed metals, this paper further summarizes the resources characteristics and exploration and development and utilization of rhenium in China. It is believed that the distribution of rhenium resources in China is relatively concentrated, with great mineralization potential and exploration space. In recent years, important exploration results have been obtained for rhenium. According to incomplete statistics, as of 2021, a total of 787.41 t of confirmed rhenium resource reserves have been obtained. From a global perspective, the large-scale production of rhenium began in 1930. Compared with the world, the development of China’s rhenium industry has not yet formed a scale and is still in its early stages, and its development and utilization heavily rely on the development and utilization of host mineral deposits. Drawing on the development and utilization history of rhenium resources abroad, the application of rhenium has led to an increase in demand for rhenium with every technological innovation, from additives to catalysts to aviation engines and quantum computing. It is predicted that the application of rhenium in China will become more diversified in the next 10-20 years, and the demand will also reach its peak. The degree of rhenium resource security needs to be further improved. It is recommended to conduct a national evaluation of the potential of rhenium resources, identify the available resources and potential of rhenium, strengthen the comprehensive utilization and recycling industrialization of rhenium resources, and establish a strategic reserve mechanism for rhenium.
