Jiangxi ceramic raw material resources analysis

The fine texture and rich mineral resources are the basis for the survival of ceramic enterprises. Rich in high-quality ceramic mineral resources, it is the “leading” of all ceramic industry business activities. According to statistics, there are more than 70 kinds of non-metallic minerals in Jiangxi Province, and there are more than 20 large and medium-sized mineral deposits. Among them, porcelain clay, kaolin, wollastonite, and flux limestone are of equal quality, as well as various minerals such as powder quartz, diopside, bentonite, talc, granite, marble, and perlite, which are huge reserves. With the large number of ceramic companies entering the market and the establishment of new production bases last year, this will inevitably lead to a new round of demand for ceramic raw materials.

Located in the northwest of Jiangxi Province, Yichun City is rich in resources. There are 41 proven minerals, of which the wolfberry is known as one of the “five golden flowers” ​​in Jiangxi Province. Yichun wolfram mine is the largest cesium lithium raw material production base in China. Lithium mines account for 89.3% of the country's total, wollastonite reserves account for about 1/4 of the country's total, and coal, rock salt, limestone, and other resource reserves rank first in Jiangxi. The following describes the ceramic raw material reserves and development of Yichun:

1. The main ceramic resources for the 10,000-year load are quartz, porcelain clay and kaolin of good grade. According to the exploration and determination by the relevant departments, Wanban County is rich in porcelain resources, with reserves of more than 500 million tons and a high grade. In the past, many ceramic companies in Gao'an were using kaolin and china clay in Wanju County. Due to the increase in transportation costs, some companies are now using relatively cheap magnesia. At present, Wanxian County finds more and more original ore sites for kaolin. With the construction of polished tile production lines in Gao'an by some enterprises in Guangdong, the demand for high-quality kaolin will increase, so the 10,000-ton kaolin owners have improved their equipment. Raw ore processing and selection are performed to improve product quality and grade.

2. Shanggaogao County is adjacent to Gao'an County and transportation is quick and convenient. The main ceramic resources of Shanggao are wollastonite and travertine, which are mainly concentrated in several townships bordering on Xinyu City. There are 20 kinds of proven mineral resources in Shanggao, and about 40 mining areas (points), mainly cobalt-lead-zinc and limestone, wollastonite, marble, kaolin, magnesia clay, brick clay, iron, silver, etc. . Of these, 4.46 million tons of wollastonite, 4.07 million cubic feet of marble and 33.821 million tons of flux dolomite. The mineral resources such as the upper high silica limestone are of high quality, concentrated in the middle and southern part of the county, and the conditions of the location are good, which is conducive to scale mining.

3. Fengxin County has a large number of lithium porcelain quarries, mainly concentrated in Yangjiawan, Fengxin County, where the ore is dominated by fine-grained and fine-grained structures, and has a massive structure, which has been passed by the Jiangxi Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. The West Geological Survey Brigade has ascertained that the mine has a D+E-class reserve of 14,002 tons, of which 902,300 tons are D-class. After the ore was detected, the silicon content reached 67.14%, the aluminum content reached 19.19%, and its loss on ignition was less than 5%, and the grade was better. Fengxin County is surrounded by mountains on three sides, forming a high west-to-east low-lying terrain. It gradually leans and degrades from west to east and east. It constitutes a clear middle-low mountainous region in the west, a hilly area in the middle, and a low valley plain in the east. It is a typical hilly terrain landscape. . The unique terrain breeds rich ceramic resources. At present, there are more than a dozen mineral types such as fluorite, china clay, kaolin, granite, potash feldspar, clay, sandstone, quartz, antimony, copper, aluminum, iron, and etc. Wide distribution, good texture and great mining value. Fengxin's kaolin has a high aluminum content and good whiteness. However, ceramic enterprises in Jiangxi rarely use Fengxin kaolin. This is mainly because Fengxin's kaolin mine has not formed large-scale mining. At the same time, due to the long-distance transportation, the selling price of raw materials is relatively high, even reaching 130 yuan/high. Ton.

4. Yifeng Yifeng's porcelain clay resources are rich in resources. In recent years, Yifeng County has relied on the unique advantages of porcelain clay resources, devoted to the deep processing of porcelain clay, vigorously developed ceramics and supporting industries, and used ceramic industry as the leading project of county economy. To implement, the ceramic resources have been effectively developed and utilized. Yifeng's china clay mining area is mainly located in the low hills in the middle of the Jiuling Mountains in northwestern Yunnan, and its elevation is generally about 150 meters. According to the relevant mine owners, the water system in the mining area of ​​the area is underdeveloped, and there are no large river basins passing around the mining area to facilitate on-site mining. At the same time, in other places in Yifeng County, it has been discovered that there are more than 50 large and small china clay mineral deposits with a predicted reserve of over 30 million tons.

In recent years, Yifeng's porcelain soil resources have been effectively developed. During the mining process, many porcelain clays were found to be rich in lithium. Therefore, many mine owners processed raw ore, extracted lithium porcelain clay and lithium porcelain stone, and used them in ceramic materials to achieve cooling and energy saving purposes. The grade of ceramic products, as a result, porcelain clay is in short supply, greatly increased the added value of the original ore. At present, there are more than 20 companies engaged in the processing and processing of china clay in Yifeng County.

5. Gao'an Gao'an has rich ceramic raw material resources. In the townships of Gao'an, there are rich porcelain resources. The distribution of these porcelain clays is mainly open pit mining, and the thickness of the surface layer is about 3 meters. The raw materials needed by Gao'an Ceramics to produce exterior wall tiles, interior wall tiles and floor tiles are mainly from the towns of Xinjie, Bajing, Ducheng, Hualin, Xiangfu, Wuqiao and Huangsha in Gao'an. The raw material prices in these places are 30 to 100 yuan/ton. Gao'an Ceramics is rich in mineral resources. It owns all types of minerals for the production of wall and floor tiles and most of the minerals for the production of polished tiles other than Guangdong black mud. The proven reserves amount to 500 million cubic meters and the predicted reserves are 1 billion cubic meters.
