Bangkok, Thailand- Ma kahi hoʻomohala koʻikoʻi, ua ʻike ʻia ʻelua mau waihona lithium nui ma ka panalāʻau o Phang Nga, Thailand, e like me ka mea i hoʻolaha ʻia e ka Hope Spokesperson o ke Keʻena Kuhina Nui ma ka Pōʻalima, manawa kūloko. Loaʻa kēia mau ʻike i ka hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia i ka hana ʻana i nā pihi mana no nā kaʻa uila.
Ma ka haʻi ʻana i ka ʻikepili mai ka Ministry of Industry and Mining o Thailand, ua hōʻike ka mea haʻiʻōlelo ua ʻoi aku ka nui o nā waihona lithium i loaʻa ma Phang Nga ma mua o 14.8 miliona mau tons, me ka hapa nui o ka poʻe ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o ka panalāʻau. Ua hoʻonoho ʻia kēia ʻike iā Thailand ma ke kolu o ka nui o ka honua e paʻa ana i nā waihona lithium, ma hope o Bolivia a me Argentina wale nō.
Wahi a ka ʻikepili i hāʻawi ʻia e ke Keʻena ʻOihana a me Mining ma Thailand, ʻo kekahi o nā wahi ʻimi ma Phang Nga, i kapa ʻia ʻo "Ruangkiat," ua hoʻokiʻekiʻe mua i nā mālama lithium o 14.8 miliona tons, me ka awelika o ka lithium oxide grade o 0.45%. ʻO kahi pūnaewele ʻē aʻe, i kapa ʻia ʻo "Bang E-thum," i kēia manawa e hoʻopaʻa ʻia ana no kāna mau mālama lithium.
I ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana, ua hōʻike ʻia kahi hōʻike mai ka United States Geological Survey (USGS) i Ianuali 2023 i hōʻike ʻia i ka honua i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka lithium ma kahi o 98 miliona tons. Ma waena o nā aupuni e hana ana i ka lithium, ua hōʻike ʻo Bolivia i nā waihona o 21 miliona mau tons, Argentina 20 miliona tons, Chile 11 miliona tons, a me Australia 7.9 miliona tons.
Ua hōʻoia ka poʻe loea Geological ma Thailand ua ʻoi aku ka nui o ka lithium i loko o nā waihona ʻelua ma Phang Nga ma mua o nā waihona nui o ka honua. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Alongkot Fanka, he kanaka hulihonua mai ke Kulanui ʻo Chulalongkorn, ʻo ka awelika o ka lithium ma nā waihona lithium hema ma kahi o 0.4%, e hoʻolilo iā lākou ʻelua o nā waihona waiwai loa ma ka honua.
He mea pono e hoʻomaopopo i ka waiho ʻana o ka lithium ma Phang Nga ma mua o nā ʻano pegmatite a me nā granite. Ua wehewehe ʻo Fanka he mea maʻamau ka granite ma ka hema o Thailand, a ua pili nā waihona lithium me nā mines tin o ka ʻāina. ʻO nā kumu waiwai mineral o Thailand ka nui o ka tin, potash, lignite, a me ka ʻaila shale.
Ma mua, ua ʻōlelo nā luna mai ka Ministry of Industry and Mining in Thailand, me Aditad Vasinonta, ua hāʻawi ʻia nā ʻae ʻimi no ka lithium i ʻekolu mau wahi ma Phang Nga. Ua hoʻohui ʻo Vasinonta i ka manawa e loaʻa ai i ka mine Ruangkiat kahi ʻae ʻokiʻoki, hiki iā ia ke hoʻohana i hoʻokahi miliona mau kaʻa uila i lako me 50 kWh mau pahu pākaukau.
No Thailand, he mea koʻikoʻi ka loaʻa ʻana o nā waihona lithium hiki ke hoʻokumu ʻia ka ʻāina iā ia iho ma ke ʻano he hub no ka hana ʻana i nā kaʻa uila, e manaʻo ana e kūkulu i kahi kaulahao lako e hoʻonui ai i kāna noi i nā mea hoʻopukapuka kaʻa. Ke kākoʻo ikaika nei ke aupuni i ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻoihana kaʻa uila, e hāʻawi ana i kahi haʻawina o 150,000 Thai Baht (ma kahi o 30,600 Chinese Yuan) no kēlā me kēia kaʻa uila ma 2023. No laila, ʻike ka mākeke kaʻa uila ma ka ʻāina i ka ulu pahū, me ka makahiki hoʻokahi. -ka hoʻonui makahiki o 684%. Eia nō naʻe, me ka hōʻemi ʻana o ke kālā i 100,000 Thai Baht (ma kahi o 20,400 Chinese Yuan) i 2024, ʻike paha ke ʻano i kahi emi iki.
I ka makahiki 2023, ua lanakila nā māka Kina i ka mākeke kaʻa uila maʻemaʻe ma Thailand, me ka māhele mākeke mai 70% a 80%. ʻO nā kūʻai kaʻa uila ʻehā kiʻekiʻe loa no ka makahiki, ʻo ia nā hōʻailona Kina a pau, e hoʻopaʻa ana i ʻewalu o nā kūlana ʻumi kiʻekiʻe. Manaʻo ʻia ka nui o nā māka kaʻa uila Kina e komo i ka mākeke Thai ma 2024.
