我国钪矿资源概况及产业发展建议

从产业链角度出发,详细阐述上游钪矿资源特征,特别是近几年有关钪矿找矿的突破,确认红土型矿床是未来重要的钪矿床类型,应引起相关部门和企业的足够重视。目前,制约钪产业快速发展的关键因素是钪的来源有限,供应量不足,导致其价格昂贵,因此行内企业应开发高效的提钪方法,优化回收工艺,降低生产成本,积极开展从红土中提钪的技术,保证钪的稳定供给。在钪产能逐年增大的同时,钪的下游企业在大力发展钪产业的三大支柱铝钪合金、固体燃料电池和钪钠灯,尤其是铝钪合金在民用产品领域的应用的同时,要积极开发其他的应用领域。值得注意的是,在突出经济效益的同时,应注重发展绿色经济、循环经济,加强资源回收利用和环境保护。

INTRODUCTION TO CHINA'S SCANDIUM RESOURCE AND SUGGESTIONS ON ITS INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

This paper elaborates the characteristics of scandium resource viewing from industrial chain. Recent discoveries of scandium deposit belong to laterite deposit, which is a vital type for future scandium resource and needs more attention from governments and mining companies. Constraints in blocking scandium rapid development lie in limited sources, insufficient supply leading to expensive prices. Scandium companies shall develop effective extracting scandium technology from laterite deposits, reduce production costs, which can ensure a steady supply of scandium. As it production capacity grows, the down-stream companies should develop the three pillar scandium industries in Al-Sc alloy, solid fuel battery and Sc-Na lamp, especially in the civil application of Al-Sc alloy and other applications. Economic profits shall be highlighted along with green, circular economy and boosting recycling scandium resource and environmental protection.
