Iminable cesium garnet deposits itholakala ezindaweni ezintathu kuphela emhlabeni: imayini yeTanco eCanada, imayini yaseBikita eZimbabwe kanye nemayini yaseSinclair e-Australia. Phakathi kwazo, indawo yezimayini ye-Tanco iyimayini ye-cesium garnet enkulu kunazo zonke etholwe kuze kube manje, ibalwa ku-80% wezinqolobane zomhlaba ze-cesium garnet, kanti isilinganiso sebanga le-cesium oxide singama-23.3%. Amabanga e-Cesium oxide alinganiselwa ku-11.5% kanye no-17% ezimayini zaseBikita naseSinclair, ngokulandelana. Lezi zindawo ezintathu zezimayini ziyi-lithium cesium tantalum (LCT) ejwayelekile yediphozithi ye-pegmatite, ecebile nge-cesium garnet, okuwumthombo oyinhloko wokukhipha i-cesium.
Izinhlelo zokuthengwa kwe-China nokwandisa izimayini ze-Tanco.
Izwe laseMelika lihamba phambili emhlabeni ngokuthenga i-cesium, lilinganiselwa ku-40%, lilandelwa yiChina. Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yokubusa kweShayina ezimayini ze-cesium kanye nokucwengwa, cishe zonke izimayini ezinkulu ezintathu zidluliselwe eShayina.
Ngaphambilini, ngemuva kokuba inkampani yaseShayina ithole imayini ye-Tanko enkampanini yaseMelika futhi yaqala kabusha ukukhiqiza ngo-2020, yaphinde yabhalisela ingxenye engu-5.72% ku-PWM futhi yathola ilungelo lokuthola yonke imikhiqizo ye-lithium, cesium kanye ne-tantalum yephrojekthi ye-Case Lake. Kodwa-ke, iCanada ngonyaka odlule idinga izinkampani ezintathu ze-lithium zaseShayina ukuthi zithengise noma zihoxise izigxobo zazo ezinkampanini zezimayini ze-lithium zaseCanada zingakapheli izinsuku ezingu-90, echaza izizathu zokuphepha kazwelonke.
Ngaphambilini, i-Australia yayinqabile uhlelo lwenkampani yaseShayina lokuthola ingxenye engu-15% eLynas, umkhiqizi omkhulu womhlaba ongavamile wase-Australia. Ngaphezu kokukhiqiza umhlaba ongavamile, i-Australia inelungelo lokuthuthukisa imayini ye-Sinclair. Nokho, i-cesium garnet eyakhiwe esigabeni sokuqala semayini yase-Sinclair yatholwa inkampani yangaphandle i-CabotSF etholwe yinkampani yaseShayina.
Indawo yezimayini yase-Bikita iyidiphozithi ye-lithium-cesium-tantalum pegmatite enkulu kunazo zonke e-Afrika futhi inezinqolobane zemithombo ye-cesium garnet yesibili ngobukhulu emhlabeni, enesilinganiso sebanga le-cesium oxide esingu-11.5%. Inkampani yaseShayina ithenge amaphesenti angu-51 amasheya emayini enkampanini yase-Australia ngamaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-165 futhi ihlela ukwandisa umthamo wokukhiqiza we-lithium concentrate ibe amathani angu-180,000 ngonyaka eminyakeni ezayo.
Ukubamba iqhaza nokuncintisana kwaseCanada nase-US Emayini ye-Tanco
Kokubili iCanada ne-United States bangamalungu e-“Five Eyes Alliance” futhi banobudlelwano obuseduze bezombangazwe nezempi. Ngakho-ke, i-United States ingalawula ukuhlinzekwa komhlaba wonke kwezinsiza ze-cesium noma ingenele ngokusebenzisana nabalingani bayo, ibeke usongo lwamasu e-China.
Uhulumeni waseCanada ufake i-cesium ohlwini lwezimbiwa ezibalulekile futhi wethule uchungechunge lwezinyathelo zenqubomgomo ukuvikela nokuthuthukisa izimboni zasekhaya. Isibonelo, ngo-2019, iCanada ne-United States zasayina isivumelwano sokusebenzisana sezimayini esikhulu ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukubambisana phakathi kwala mazwe womabili mayelana nokuphepha nokuthembeka kochungechunge lokuhlinzekwa kwezimbiwa njenge-cesium. Ngo-2020, iCanada ne-Australia zasayina isivumelwano esifanayo sokulwa ngokuhlanganyela ithonya leChina emakethe yezimbiwa zomhlaba. I-Canada futhi isekela izinkampani zasendaweni zokuthuthukiswa kwe-cesium ore kanye nokucubungula njenge-PWM ne-Cabot ngokutshala izimali, izibonelelo kanye nezibonelelo zentela.
Njengomthengi omkhulu we-cesium emhlabeni, i-United States nayo ibheka ukubaluleka okukhulu kunani lesu kanye nokuvikeleka kokuhlinzekwa kwe-cesium. Ngonyaka wezi-2018, i-United States yaqoka i-cesium njengenye yezimbiwa ezibalulekile ezingama-35, futhi yahlanganisa umbiko wamasu mayelana namaminerali abalulekile, iphakamisa uchungechunge lwezinyathelo zokuqinisekisa ukutholakala okuzinzile kwesikhathi eside kwe-cesium namanye amaminerali.
Isakhiwo kanye nenkinga yezinye izinsiza ze-cesium e-China.
Ngaphezu kwemayini ye-Vikita, i-China iphinde ibheke amathuba okuthola izinsiza ze-cesium kwezinye izifunda. Isibonelo, ngo-2019, inkampani yaseShayina yasayina isivumelwano sokubambisana nenkampani yasePeruvia ukuthuthukisa ngokubambisana iphrojekthi yechibi likasawoti eningizimu yePeru equkethe izinto ezifana ne-lithium, i-potassium, i-boron, i-magnesium, i-strontium, i-calcium, i-sodium, ne-cesium oxide. Kulindeleke ukuthi kube indawo yesibili ngobukhulu yokukhiqiza i-lithium eNingizimu Melika.
I-China ibhekene nobunzima nezinselelo eziningi ekwabiweni kwezinsiza ze-cesium emhlabeni jikelele.
Okokuqala, izinsiza ze-cesium zomhlaba ziyindlala kakhulu futhi zihlakazekile, futhi kunzima eChina ukuthola amadiphozithi e-cesium amakhulu, asezingeni eliphezulu, nangabizi kakhulu. Okwesibili, umncintiswano womhlaba wonke wezimbiwa ezibalulekile ezifana ne-cesium uya ngokuya ushuba, futhi iChina ingase ibhekane nokugxambukela kwezombusazwe nezomnotho kanye nezithiyo ezivela eCanada, e-Australia nakwamanye amazwe ukubuyekezwa kokutshalwa kwezimali kanye nemikhawulo ezinkampanini zaseShayina. Okwesithathu, ubuchwepheshe bokukhipha nokucubungula i-cesium buyinkimbinkimbi futhi bubiza kakhulu. I-China Isabela Kanjani Empini Yezimbiwa Ebucayi?
Ukuze kuvikelwe ukuphepha kuzwelonke kanye nezintshisakalo zezomnotho ezizindaweni ezibalulekile zezimbiwa zase-China, uhulumeni wase-China uhlela ukuthatha lezi zinyathelo zokulwa ezisebenzayo ezilandelayo:
Qinisa ukuhlola nokuthuthukiswa kwezinsiza ze-cesium emhlabeni, thola amadiphozithi amasha e-cesium, futhi uthuthukise ukuzimela nokuhlukahluka kwezinsiza ze-cesium.
