Abstract

In response to the rise of the energy storage industries such as new energy vehicles and the wide application of lithium in various fields worldwide, the global demand for lithium resources has been in explosive growth. In order to further comprehensively understand the global supply and demand pattern, development and utilization status, genesis of ore deposits and other characteristics of lithium resources, based on the achievements of many researchers at home and abroad, this paper systematically summarized the lithium supply and demand situation, resource endowment, deposit classification and distribution, typical geological characteristics, metallogenic factors and metallogenic regularity of terrestrial brine-type lithium deposits which are the main types of development and utilization all over the world. The review shows that brine-type lithium resource and (or) reserves in the plateau salt lakes are huge and play an important role. In addition, the mineralization potential of the underground brine-type lithium deposit is broad worldwide. The potential resources of underground brines are enormous, and the geothermal spring water type is also worthy of attention. Brine lithium deposits are mainly controlled by the subduction and collision of regional plate tectonics, arid climate and provenance conditions. Strengthening of the scientific research on underground brines in the future is expected to provide another significant support for the global demand for lithium resources.
世界陆相卤水型锂矿床的分布、特征、成矿过程、找矿潜力及锂需求形势
随着新能源汽车等储能产业的兴起,以及锂在全球各个领域的广泛应用,全球对锂资源的需求呈爆发式增长。为进一步全面了解全球锂资源供需格局、开发利用现状、矿床成因等特征,在国内外众多研究者成果的基础上,系统总结了全球锂资源供需形势、资源禀赋、矿床分类与分布、典型地质特征、陆相卤水型锂矿床是世界上主要的开发利用类型,其成矿因素及成矿规律。研究表明,高原盐湖卤水型锂资源储量巨大,具有重要作用。此外,地下卤水型锂矿床在世界范围内具有广阔的成矿潜力。地下盐水资源潜力巨大,地热泉水类型也值得重视。卤水锂矿床主要受区域板块构造俯冲碰撞、干旱气候和物源条件的控制。未来加强对地下盐水的科学研究,有望为全球锂资源需求提供另一个重要支撑。
