Shortage of potash resources in response to the situation and the global potash market monopoly critical situation, China has launched a new national strategy for geological prospecting potassium.
5 reporter from the China Geological Survey Bureau, recently won the national project supported by the geological prospecting strategy, mainly for lack of resources of potash situation and the foreign monopoly control of Union to the severe situation of potash fertilizer market in order to overcome China's potash by geological work of the bottleneck and open up new areas of geology potash, potash resources to accelerate the establishment of strategic supply base to ensure the safety of national resources.
This project is funded by Land and Resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences and the joint recommendation of Qinghai Province, China Academy of Geological Sciences, Institute of Mineral Resources report, will draw on overseas experience and domestic marine potash potassium theory of continental complementary to each other, mainly for the Chinese mainland over the small land mass drift , Results from tectonic fight environmental characteristics of the "small land mass as K" scientific propositions, analyzing the small land mass of potassium into the role of the epicontinental basin and conditions, Tethys basin as potassium and conditions and the role of residual potassium in the basin and conditions, to clarify construction - climate - and the huge amount of salt source and sink points into K different coupling - response mechanism, to identify the formation of large-scale ancient marine evaporation basins - large potash deposit in the controlling factors, revealing the ancient post-depositional transformation of potash ore and other key issues and then explore the ancient Chinese marine laws potash evaporation basins, the creation of tectonic setting for China's "land mass as K," a theoretical framework for our country to provide a scientific breakthrough in marine potash basis and technological support.
As the world's large agricultural country, China has long had a shortage of potassium mine situation, a direct impact on national food security, transnational capital dominate the global potash more emphasis on this pattern. Currently, the Ministry has started a new round of potash potash mineral resources protection investigation and assessment works projects, programs in the Ordos, Lanping - Simao, Sichuan, Qaidam Basin, western, etc. have been carrying out environmental and potash salt lake resources in scientific super-km deep drilling project, has invested 50 million yuan in 2010 ,2011-2015, intends to invest 100 million yuan per year. Potash resources survey and evaluation projects and land masses into the law of potassium, will effectively promote the cause of potash ore. (Wang Libin)
