"The supply agreement was signed more than three months ago." Due to a variety of problems, the delivery of titanium ore orders placed by businesses in my country abroad has been delayed, and company operations like production have been hindered. Local titanium businesses are no longer in operation.
my country is a big country in the titanium industry, rich in titanium ore resources, ranking first in the world, accounting for about 30% of the world. my country's titanium ore is mainly concentrated in Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province, and its titanium ore reserves account for about 90% of the country's total. Although titanium resources are relatively rich, the status quo of my country's titanium resources is more ilmenite, less rutile, more lean ore, and less rich ore, all of which are polymetallic symbiotic ores, and the proportion of high-quality titanium ore is very small. The overall grade of the ore is low, and the low-calcium magnesium titanium ore is highly dependent on foreign countries. The long-term dependence on importing titanium ore from Australia, Mozambique, Vietnam, and other countries has brought hidden dangers to the long-term and stable development of my country's titanium industry.
The quality and qualification rate of my country's titanium products have not been able to achieve a significant increase. The reason is that titanium ore is highly dependent on imports and product quality fluctuates greatly, which in turn affects the quality and stability of downstream sponge titanium and even titanium products, hindering my country's titanium production. The pace of products to high-end, therefore, still need to work hard to improve the quality of domestic titanium ore.
Improving the quality of titanium ore, comprehensively controlling the quality of downstream products, reducing low-quality products, and improving product quality are the directions that the industry needs to work hard in the future.
Nowadays, the international political and economic situation is becoming more and more complicated, and the stable supply of imported low-calcium magnesium titanium ore is facing challenges. How to seek stable and high-quality ore sources have become an urgent problem to be solved at the current stage of the development of my country's titanium industry.
Taking technological breakthroughs as the starting point, we will carry out innovative research around improving the grade of titanium ore. It is understood that my country has already mastered the related technology of converting Panzhihua titanium ore into low-calcium magnesium titanium ore. However, its cost is high, lack of economy, and it is difficult to apply it to actual production. Therefore, it is necessary to realize the low cost of this technology. It is the only way to realize the independent and controllable supply of domestic high-grade titanium ore.
Strengthening the upgrading of the titanium ore industry and promoting the development of high-quality mineral resources, if significant results are achieved, will play a key role in the development of my country's titanium industry.
Increase domestic prospecting efforts to fully tap the potential of domestic titanium ore. The Ministry of Natural Resources mentioned in the symposium on the protection of natural resource elements that it is necessary to improve the domestic security capabilities of strategic mineral resources and increase the exploration of strategic mineral resources. Titanium, as a strategic metal, plays a pivotal role in the application of many fields. To explore the potential of domestic titanium ore requires the joint efforts of relevant national ministries, industry associations and enterprises. Contribute to mine development and utilization.
On the basis of achieving domestic high-grade titanium ore supply, make full use of international resources, ensure the supply of titanium ore through multiple channels, and reduce the pressure on domestic resource consumption.
Establish a stable international titanium ore supply channel. Encourage the investment and construction of titanium ore factories in places with stable political situations and convenient transportation, control the quality of titanium ore from the source, and truly control the titanium ore resources in our own hands. One day, we will no longer be controlled by others and have high-quality And stable titanium ore resources, you can say with confidence: my country's titanium ore resources, you have the final say!
