草炭主要是由植物残骸在沼泽环境中未经充分分解逐渐堆积形成的,其矿物质含量不超过50％。我国草炭分布广、储量大,全国各地都有,尤以东北,西南各地分布最普遍,储量也最大。仅吉林省储量就达16亿吨。近年来,国外对草炭的用途和草炭本身的物理化学性能作了广泛而深入的研究,登记了很多发明专利,由此可见,草炭不仅在农业上得到了广泛的应用,而且在工业上也有多种重要的用途。 Peat is mainly formed by plant debris gradually accumulated in the swamp environment without sufficient decomposition, and its mineral content does not exceed 50%. China is widely distributed in peat, large reserves, all over the country, especially in the northeast and southwest around the most common distribution, the largest reserves. Only Jilin Province reserves reached 1.6 billion tons. In recent years, abroad, the use of peat and the physical and chemical properties of peat itself made extensive and in-depth research, registered a lot of invention patents, we can see that not only in the peat carbon has been widely used in agriculture, but also in industrial An important use.
