With the development of vanadium-containing shale double-cycle high-efficiency oxidation and vanadium extraction technology, the domestic vanadium mining volume is also increasing. Utilize low-grade vanadium-bearing shale resources in my country to expand the available reserves of vanadium resources by nearly 10 billion tons, which will greatly promote the development of my country's vanadium industry.
Although the development of my country's vanadium industry has made great progress, the problems of resource guarantee, comprehensive utilization, product quality, and process technology are still outstanding. In terms of resource exploitation, there are still phenomena such as multiple mining in one mine, large mines in small mines, and the rich and the poor. Among vanadium titanomagnetite, the comprehensive utilization rate of vanadium resources is only 47%, and the recovery rate of titanium resources is less than 14%. The level of vanadium extraction from stone coal is low, and there is a phenomenon that the co-associated rare metals have not been recovered on a large scale. In terms of industrial layout, domestic Shanghai, Shandong, Shaanxi, Guizhou, Henan, and other deep processing areas of vanadium and titanium resources have low resource security, it is difficult to form economies of scale, the layout is scattered, the logistics cost is high, and the industrial chain is short. In terms of product structure, the current vanadium products are mainly primary products, and a large number of raw vanadium products (vanadium pentoxide) are exported.
Vanadium is listed as a strategic metal and has a wide range of applications in steel, metallurgy, chemical, medical, and new energy industries. It is mainly used in steelmaking and is an indispensable metal material for the production of high-quality steel; in recent years, vanadium has played an important role in cleaning Great progress has been made in energy research. All-vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) have broad market prospects in the fields of wind power generation, photovoltaic power generation, power grid peak regulation, distribution power stations, communication base stations, etc., and have begun to be used for commercial energy storage. system. China occupies an important position in the international vanadium market. In 2020, China's vanadium mine production was 53,000 tons, a decrease of 1,000 tons compared with 2019. According to the data of the China Iron and Steel Association Vanadium Industry Branch, the total domestic output of vanadium slag in 2020 is 1.45 million tons, the output of vanadium pentoxide is 136,000 tons, and the output of vanadium-nitrogen alloy is 64,500 tons. Foreign regions have been severely affected by the new crown epidemic, the demand for vanadium products has decreased, the price of ferrovanadium has fallen, and the price gap with China has also continued to widen, resulting in the influx of low-priced vanadium supplies from the open international market, causing damage to the Chinese domestic market. A certain impact will cause the export of vanadium products in China to be blocked.
