智利北部的几个大型高品位锂矿床,将由不久前成立的美国福特矿业公司与智利国家公司合办的企业着手开发.这些矿床的锂含量相当高,达到0.15%,而美国已开采的同类矿床只有0.04%.所以迟至目前才决定利用,是因为早先的一项法令禁止外资开采这种战略资源.这家企业获准从许多地下泉的盐水中提取锂和镁,其余伴生矿物的回收权,包括钾和钙,则属于智利国家公司.该企业有权采用已知的任何一种工艺从盐水中提取锂的化合物.智利方面的合营人员可以了解全部生产过程,
Several large, high-grade lithium deposits in the north of Chile will be developed by a recently established joint venture between Ford Mining and Chilean National Corp. The deposits are relatively high at 0.15% lithium, while similar deposits mined in the United States Only 0.04%, it was decided to take advantage of it until now because an earlier decree banned foreign capital from mining this strategic resource, which allowed the company to recover lithium and magnesium from the brine of many underground springs and the restitution of other associated minerals, Including potassium and calcium, belongs to the Chilean state company, which has the right to extract lithium compounds from the brine using any of the known processes. A joint venture partner in Chile can learn about the entire production process,
