中国硼矿资源形势与安全保障建议OA

Boron is an important strategic non-metallic mineral,characterized by high melting point,strong neutron absorption capacity,and unique chemical activity.It is widely used in critical fields such as glass,ceramics,agriculture,new energy,and the nuclear industry.This paper systematically reviews the global and Chinese boron resource reserves,consumption structure,and supply-demand situation.Analysis shows that global boron resources are highly concentrated,with Turkey,the United States,and South America holding absolute dominance.Although China possesses certain reserves,they are mainly low-grade ludwigite ore,which presents significant difficulties and high costs for exploitation and utilization.This has led to a persistent high dependence on imports for high-end boron products.In terms of consumption,traditional industries like glass and ceramics remain the primary consumers;however,demand from emerging sectors such as new energy,specialty materials,and pharmaceuticals is growing rapidly,indicating a trend towards higher-end and diversified consumption structures.Facing a severe supply security situation,this paper proposes systematic measures,including strengthening domestic exploration,advancing technological breakthroughs,and establishing a diversified supply system,to enhance China's boron resource security assurance capability.
