EXPLOITATION OF LITHIUM RESOURCES OF QAIDAM BASIN

Lithium and its compounds are even more widely applied in many aspects of our life with the development of science and technology and the demand for lithium and its compounds are increasing annually worldwide and their prices are skyrocketing.Qaidam Basin in Qinghai Province is rich in salt lake resources and in which lithium is the one of the most abundant elements. Exploiting lithium resource in Qqidam Basin would promote the economic development of Qinghai Province.This paper presents the lithiun application,its abundance in Qaidam and in the world,market demand and lithium extracting technology,then discusses the feasibility of lithium exploitation of Qaidam Basin.
