Ngomhla wesi-8 kweyoMqungu, i-China Geological Survey yeSebe leMithombo yeNdalo yabhengeza inkqubela phambili enkulu ekuhlolweni kwezimbiwa ze-lithium eTshayina. Imithombo esandul’ ukongeza yohlobo lwe-spodumene, uhlobo lwe-salt lake, kunye ne-lithium mica yohlobo lwe-lithium mica zonke zidlule kwiitoni ezili-10 lezigidi, kwaye inani lehlabathi lemithombo ye-lithium linyuke ukusuka kwi-6% ukuya kwi-16.5%, litsiba ukusuka kwindawo yesithandathu ukuya kweyesibini kwihlabathi kwaye liphinda libumbe umhlaba wemithombo ye-lithium yehlabathi.
I-Lithium, ehlonitshwa njenge-'kumkani weentsimbi' zexesha elizayo, ibambe isikhundla esibalulekileyo kuluntu lwanamhlanje. Njengento ebalulekileyo kumashishini asakhasayo afana nezithuthi zamandla ezintsha, iinkqubo zokugcina amandla, unxibelelwano oluphathwayo, unyango lwezifo, kunye namafutha e-reactor enyukliya, i-lithium inxulumene kakhulu nobomi babantu. Kangangexesha elide, ukuxhomekeka kweTshayina kwimithombo ye-lithium yangaphandle kube phezulu, kunye nenxalenye enkulu yokungeniswa kwamanye amazwe, nto leyo eyonyuse iindleko zemveliso kwaye ikwathintela uphuhliso lwamashishini anxulumene nayo.
Kule nkqubela phambili ekuhlolweni kwezimbiwa, ibhanti ye-lithium mineralization esandul’ ukufunyanwa eWest Kunlun Songpan Ganzi ubude bayo buziikhilomitha ezingama-2800 kwaye yibhanti ye-lithium mineralization yohlobo lwe-spodumene ekumgangatho wehlabathi. Ukufunyanwa kwale ndawo ye-mineralization kuye kwatyebisa kakhulu iintlobo kunye noluhlu lokusasazwa kwezixhobo ze-lithium mineral eTshayina, nto leyo ekhokelele kwimiboniso yokuhlola izimbiwa ze-lithium eXinjiang, eSichuan, eQinghai nakwezinye iindawo, kwaye kubonelela ngezikhokelo ezintsha zokuhlola nokuphuhlisa izimbiwa ze-lithium eTshayina.
Ngokwezibalo zokuqala, le ndawo ineeminerali iqokelele ngaphezulu kweetoni ezi-6.5 zezigidi zemithombo ye-lithium eqinisekisiweyo, kunye namathuba emithombo engaphezulu kweetoni ezingama-30 ezigidi, okulindeleke ukuba iphucule ngakumbi imithombo ye-lithium mineral yaseTshayina.
Ukongeza kwimigodi ye-lithium yohlobo lwe-spodumene, iTshayina ikwaqhubele phambili kakhulu ekuphuhlisweni kwemithombo ye-lithium kumachibi etyuwa. Emva kophando novavanyo, imithombo ye-lithium eyongeziweyo kumachibi etyuwa eTshayina ifikelele kwiitoni ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezili-14, nto leyo eyenza ukuba ibe yindawo yesithathu ngobukhulu yemithombo ye-lithium yelali yetyuwa kwihlabathi emva kweSouth American Lithium Triangle kunye nentshona ye-United States. Imithombo ye-lithium yelali yeSalt Lake ineendleko eziphantsi zophuhliso, ungcoliseko oluncinci, kunye namathuba ophuhliso abanzi.
Ukongeza, iTshayina ikwaphumelele kakhulu kubuchwepheshe bokukhupha i-lithium kwi-lithium mica. Isombulule ingxaki yomxholo ophezulu we-lithium kodwa ukukhupha okuntsonkothileyo kunye neendleko eziphezulu ze-lithium mica, ukuphucula ukusetyenziswa kunye noqoqosho, kwaye kwavula imeko entsha yokuhlolwa kwe-lithium ore yohlobo lwe-lithium mica. Ngokwezibalo, izixhobo ze-lithium ore ezisandula kongezwa ze-lithium mica eJiangxi nakwezinye iindawo zidlule kwi-10 yezigidi zeetoni. Olu phumelelo luya kukhuthaza ukwakheka kwemeko entsha yokwembiwa eHunan, e-Inner Mongolia nakwezinye iindawo, lube yindawo ebalulekileyo yokukhula kwezixhobo ze-lithium.
Impumelelo enkulu ekuhlolweni kwe-lithium ore ngeli xesha ibangelwa kukuphunyezwa okunzulu komjikelo omtsha wezenzo zobuchule zophando lwezimbiwa. I-China Geological Survey, kunye neeyunithi zophando lwejoloji kunye namashishini emigodi kumaphondo ahlukeneyo (imimandla), iqalise iphulo eligxile lophando lwe-lithium ore kuzwelonke, kwaye ifezekise uthotho lwempumelelo enkulu eSichuan, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Jiangxi, Inner Mongolia nakwezinye iindawo.
Impumelelo enkulu kwimigodi ye-lithium ngeli xesha iya kunciphisa ngempumelelo ukunikezelwa kwezixhobo ze-lithium eTshayina, ikhuthaze uphuhliso olukhawulezileyo lweshishini elitsha lamandla laseTshayina, kwaye ikhuthaze uphuhliso olusempilweni lwemarike yezixhobo ze-lithium zehlabathi, iphucule isikhundla kunye nempembelelo yeTshayina kwimarike yezixhobo ze-lithium zehlabathi.
