Where there is demand, where there is market. Ceramic production in order to meet the required raw materials, some ceramic materials resource-rich areas, have accelerated the exploitation of mineral resources. However, excessive exploitation of not only seriously damaged the ecological bad environment, but also to domestic mineral resources and energy shrinking.
With the increase in the ceramic production line, a huge production capacity is constantly devouring vast mineral resources and energy. Producing an example of Foshan, Foshan ceramic enterprises annual consumption of ceramic raw materials more than 40 million tons, with an average daily consumption of 120,000 tons.
China's energy consumption in 2011 reached a total of 3.48 billion tons of standard coal, an increase of 7.0% over the previous year. Click the growth rate, by 2050, China's total energy consumption will reach 6 billion tons of standard coal. According to the "BP World Energy Statistics 2005" The data show, according to the current rate of extraction, production and global oil reserves available for 40 years, 67 years of natural gas supply, coal can supply 164 years.
In fact, not only is the oil, gas, coal and other resources has depleted crisis, ceramic materials are also facing the same fate. With the expansion of production capacity, clay surge in demand for several times, clay was used in at least 200 million tons or more, many places have been depleted of clay, kaolin, black mud, rare earth and other ceramic resources are depleted.
Non-renewable resources, extent of damage to the environment, it is difficult through physical prices converted out of its magnitude of value, but the depletion of resources so that the ceramic industry in the future is full of crisis, for which the amount of domestic and foreign policy of limited mining frequently introduced, prices rose as the main theme, conservation and rational use of resources to develop new realization of China's ceramic industry has become a key to sustainable development.
Strictly rectify exploitation of mineral resources
Exploration and development for scientific and rational utilization and protection of mineral resources, mineral resources to further enhance the economic and social development support capabilities, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the recently developed "Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of mineral resources prospecting and exploitation" second five "plan" (hereinafter " Plan ") and officially issued.
"Planning" requirements together all corners of the entertainment city manager total control of mineral resources development and utilization, to encourage exploitation of the country, the region and the market demand for larger shortage of minerals, limiting exploitation of oversupply and severe damage to the ecological environment in mining, mineral exports on the advantages of limiting the production hedge.
"Planning" that "Twelve Five" Xinjiang should vigorously promote the integration of resources, the implementation of large-scale development, by 2015 the number of medium-sized mine average annual growth of 5% -6%. Further promote the integration of mining rights, coal mines from the existing 412 down to 200 or so. Increase in the number of metal mines. Among them, the coal mines, "plan" requirement new open pit coal-rich region smallest 2,000,000 tons more underground than 600,000 tons.
To this end, Xinjiang will develop oil, natural gas, coal and other resource-based products processing, deep processing enterprises. Construction of a number of major oil and gas production and processing bases and coal coal coal chemical industry base, develop a number of high value-added, high-tech, high market share of specialty minerals, and the formation of industrial advantages.
Mineral Resources as a very important non-renewable natural resources, but also the survival and development of human society indispensable material basis. It is an important source of information on people's lives, but it is extremely important social production, the Chinese government for the development and utilization of mineral resources has been very seriously.
Since 1986, "Mineral Resources Law" promulgated and implemented, China has conducted a number of mining order rectification, the number of mines from the 1990s to over 280,000 down to 112,500 in 2010, China's mineral resource integration achieved remarkable success, the structure has undergone profound changes in mineral development, resource utilization, production safety, raise the level of environmental protection, development and utilization system system formed.
In the field of ceramics, year by year due to capacity expansion, ceramic enterprises demand for ceramic raw materials is increasing, which also accelerated a lot of ceramic mineral resource-rich areas of mining pace. However, due to unauthorized mining, excessive exploitation is widespread, causing serious ecological damage in many places, mudslides, landslides and other natural disasters continue.
In order to protect the ecological environment and achieve sustainable development, in recent years, ceramic mineral development areas have introduced policies and regulations to crack down on undocumented prospecting and mining and other illegal activities, to prevent undocumented illegal mining, to further standardize the mineral market.
In Jiangxi Yichun, due to the local rich kaolin, pink quartz, limestone, granite, quartz sandstone, magnesian clay, talc, lithium feldspar ceramic raw materials, high security, Harvest, the surrounding cities to develop advanced ceramic industry in the background Under such Yichun ceramic materials mining industry have been greatly developed.
Yichun engaged in mining of raw materials and development of hundreds of companies around, but generally small scale, backward production technology and economic inefficiency. Meanwhile, some companies in the mining process opened indiscriminate abuse, resulting in a waste of resources and ecological balance. To this end, Yichun City, launched the investigation of undocumented mining, exploration project inspection, approval of mining rights in the inventory of the "Richard III" activities.
In addition, Yichun City in promoting the integration of mineral resources, but also pay close attention to clay, kaolin and other mineral resources integration.
Through the integration of mineral resources, not only to enhance the scale of production, and reduce the waste of resources, optimize resource allocation, so that after integration than the number of pre-integrated mining area reduced by 20%, and utilization of mineral resources increased by 10% or more, since the number of mine safety accidents and more than 10% decline in the number of casualties, and achieved good economic and social benefits for the ceramics industry Yichun City has laid a good foundation.
Guangdong Xinhui for the overhaul of the illegal exploitation of mineral resources and operating ceramic clay (including black mud, silica sand, ceramic sand, peat) and other illegal acts, Xinhui District has established a special ceramic clay special rectification action leading group, to rectify illegal mining , collective farmers lease land without authorization will be used for soil activity, ceramic clay processing and production and operation of illegal dumps, Wupaiwuzheng transportation and other illegal acts, punish good effect.
Can be sustained in harmony with nature, is mankind's most beautiful dreams. With each ceramic mineral development areas for mineral development and the strengthening of the regulation of consciousness, for the protection of mineral resources to achieve maximum utilization of mineral resources in a reasonable and has a direct role in promoting, but also for the ceramic industry has contributed to the achievement of sustainable development.
