On January 7, news from the Ministry of Land and Resources stated that in 2007 the consolidation of chemical non-metallic mineral resources was carried out in an orderly manner. By rationally allocating resources, it not only promoted the scaled operation of enterprises, but also increased the level of exploitation and utilization of resources.
China has rich reserves of non-metallic minerals in the chemical industry. In the “Evaluation of High-quality Chemical Non-metallic Resources†project announced by the Ministry of Land and Resources in 2007, the resources submitted include: 220 million tons of phosphorus, 55.34 million tons of pyrite, and 520,000 tons of boron. There are 3.65 million tons of potash mines, 14.14 million tons of fluorite mines, 210,000 tons of male (female) yellow mines and 6.21 million tons of sodium nitrate mines. The initial estimate of the potential for phosphate rock resources is 1.4 billion tons.
However, the abundance of ore reserves cannot withstand unlimited exploitation. Small and scattered individual enterprises will inevitably lack a long-term perspective, be quick to gain instant benefits, and the situation of chemical non-metallic mineral resources will be very serious. It is estimated that according to the current development of exploitation, China's chemical non-metallic minerals will lose its development potential within 20 years.
For this reason, in 2007 China's integration of chemical non-metallic mineral resources was fully upgraded. Taking the integration of phosphate resources as an example, in 2007, the integration of phosphate resources in some provinces and municipalities was promoted by the upstream and downstream chemical companies.
In addition to the reduction in the number of phosphorus enterprises, Hubei Province began to receive a price adjustment fund for phosphate rock since January 1, 2007. This measure uses price leverage to protect and rationally allocate phosphate rock resources, which has promoted the sustained and healthy development of phosphate rock production in the province. Yunnan Province has no special policy for the phosphate rock, which is synchronized with other minerals. The basic idea is that “the combination of mineral fertilizer and fertilizerâ€. However, due to the limited transport capacity, the integration of phosphate rock development and chemical companies in Yunnan Province is more likely to combine with the provincial enterprises. The integration of phosphate rock in Guizhou also follows the road of "combination of mineral and fertilizers" and "mineralization and integration". At present, the 500,000 tons of synthetic ammonia project of Kaifeng Group and Shandong Yanzhou Mine is progressing smoothly. This project is also the integration of Guizhou's phosphate resources. component.
According to industry analysts, in terms of phosphate rock, China’s resources are in short supply. In the process of integrating mineral resources in 2007, provinces with resources are more willing to leave mines in their pockets and only cooperate in the downstream fertilizer industry. This has led to a tendency for chemical companies to concentrate on resource areas.
