Inorganic salts have a wide range of applications and the industry is developing rapidly

Inorganic salts are salts in inorganic compounds, usually called minerals, including inorganic acids, inorganic bases, nitrogen, fluorine and other compounds. Inorganic salts are rich in types and have a wide range of applications. They are not only commonly used to make inorganic chemical products, but can also be used in food, medicine, environmental protection, construction, aerospace and other aspects. In recent years, my country’s society has developed rapidly, inorganic salt application technology has been continuously upgraded, market demand has continued to rise, and the industry has developed rapidly.

From the perspective of production technology, the production of inorganic salts can be divided into four methods, namely separation of inorganic salts from aqueous solutions, synthesis of inorganic salts, production of inorganic salts from chemical ores and extraction of inorganic salts by other methods. Among them, the separation of inorganic salts from aqueous solutions is mainly produced by the decomposition and washing method; the synthesis of inorganic salts mainly uses soda ash to produce sodium bicarbonate; the production of inorganic salts from chemical ores mainly uses chromite to produce sodium dichromate; and other methods of extracting inorganic salts are mainly Potassium chlorate is produced by electrolyzing sodium chloride.

Inorganic salts have a wide range of applications. Most industries are inseparable from inorganic salt products. The more developed the industry, the stronger the dependence on inorganic salt products. In recent years, my country’s society has developed rapidly, and the inorganic salt industrial production technology has become increasingly mature. An inorganic salt industrial system with complete types and sufficient raw materials has gradually formed. Compared with developed countries, my country’s inorganic salt industry is still in the early stages of development in the field of deep processing, and there is huge room for market development.

According to the “Research Report on the Development Prospects and Investment Strategic Planning of the Inorganic Salt Industry during the 14th Five-Year Plan released by the Industrial Research Center, inorganic salt industry The salt industry is mainly an industry that uses natural resources such as chemical minerals, underground brine, and seawater to process and synthesize basic raw materials. It is one of the important components of my country’s basic chemical industry. There are many inorganic salt products and a wide range of uses. They can not only make paper products, rubber and other products, but also be used to make agricultural products and high-tech products. They have a wide range of applications, are extremely popular in the market, and have good prospects for industry development.

The Qarhan Salt Lake in the Qaidam Basin is one of the largest salt lakes in my country and is also the raw material acquisition base for my country’s inorganic salt industry. Qinghai Salt Lake Co., Ltd. discovered business opportunities, increased investment to develop Qarhan Salt Lake, and used its rich resources to increase research and development efforts, thereby creating a modern inorganic salt industrial base and industrial cluster.

Industry analysts said that in recent years, the application scope of inorganic salts in my country has continued to expand, and more and more inorganic salt products have been developed. , market demand continues to grow. Enterprises can innovate and develop inorganic salt-related products, enrich product categories, improve their competitiveness, and occupy a place in the inorganic salt market. In the future, under the guidance of my country’s relevant policies, my country’s inorganic salt industry will continue to develop in the direction of specialization, high-end, green, and scale.
