Abstract:
China is the world's largest importer of boron ore in 2017, The market demand is on the rise. Under the current situation of trade protectionism, the summarization and research on the status and utilization trend of global boron resources is of great significance to the safety of China's mineral resources. This paper presents new summary on the exploration and research results of boron deposits, and also provide the confirmed reserves and distribution of boron resources in the world and China. Furthermore, this paper disposal statistical data of the overall situation of boron resources output and capacity in the world and China, included its main producing Country (area), production enterprises, utilization fields, etc. Based on the above research, we clarifies the global and China's supply and demand situation of boron resources. Studies have shown that China is one of the world's largest reserves of boron resources, and has already established a complete boron industry system. However, the grade of boron ores is low, and high-quality boron ores are shortage and highly dependent on foreign supply. Therefore, It is imperative to strengthen the upgrading of China's boron mine industry, increase the exploration of high-quality boron mines, improve the comprehensive development of boron resources, and promote the diversification of high-quality boron raw materials.
