Malo Akuluakulu a Lithium Afukulidwa ku Thailand: Zowonjezera Zomwe Zingatheke Pamakampani Amagetsi Amagetsi

M'chilengezo chaposachedwa, wachiwiri wolankhulira ofesi ya Prime Minister waku Thailand adavumbulutsa kupezeka kwa ma depositi awiri odalirika a lithiamu m'chigawo cha Phang Nga. Zotsatirazi zikuyembekezeredwa kuti zithandizira kwambiri kupanga mabatire a magalimoto amagetsi.

Potchula deta kuchokera ku Unduna wa Zamakampani ndi Migodi ku Thailand, wolankhulirayo adawulula kuti ma depositi a lithiamu omwe adavumbulutsidwa amapitilira matani miliyoni 14.8, ambiri omwe ali m'chigawo chakumwera kwa Phang Nga. Vumbulutso ili likuyika dziko la Thailand ngati dziko lachitatu padziko lonse lapansi lokhala ndi lithiamu, kutsata Bolivia ndi Argentina okha.

Malinga ndi zomwe Undunawu udanena, malo amodzi owunikira ku Phang Nga, otchedwa "Ruangkiat," adatsimikizira zosungirako matani 14.8 miliyoni, omwe ali ndi lithiamu oxide grade 0,45%. Tsamba lina, lotchedwa "Bang E-thum," pakali pano likuyembekezeredwa ndi nkhokwe za lithiamu.

Poyerekeza, lipoti lotulutsidwa ndi United States Geological Survey (USGS) mu Januware 2023 lidawonetsa nkhokwe za lithiamu zomwe zatsimikiziridwa padziko lonse lapansi pafupifupi matani 98 miliyoni. Pakati pawo, Bolivia inali matani 21 miliyoni, Argentina matani 20 miliyoni, Chile matani 11 miliyoni, ndi Australia matani 7.9 miliyoni.

Akatswiri a geological ku Thailand adatsimikiza kuti lithiamu zomwe zili m'magawo awiri a Phang Nga zimaposa ma depositi ena ambiri padziko lonse lapansi. Alongkot Fanka wochokera ku yunivesite ya Chulalongkorn adanena kuti pafupifupi lifiyamu zomwe zili kumwera kwa lithiamu zili pafupi ndi 0.4%, zomwe zimawapanga kukhala ochuluka kwambiri padziko lapansi.

Ndizofunikira kudziwa kuti ma depositi a lithiamu ku Phang Nga makamaka ndi mitundu ya pegmatite ndi granite. Fanka adalongosola kuti granite ndiyofala kum'mwera kwa Thailand, ndipo ma depositi a lithiamu amagwirizana ndi migodi ya malata. Zida zamchere zaku Thailand zimaphatikizapo malata, potashi, lignite, shale yamafuta, pakati pa ena.

M'mbuyomu, akuluakulu a Unduna wa Zamakampani ndi Migodi ku Thailand, kuphatikiza Aditad Vasinonta, adanenanso kuti zilolezo zofufuza za lithiamu zidaperekedwa m'malo atatu ku Phang Nga. Ananenanso kuti mgodi wa Ruangkiat ukangopeza chilolezo chochotsa, ukhoza kuyendetsa magalimoto amagetsi okwana miliyoni imodzi okhala ndi batire la 50 kWh.

Kwa Thailand, kukhala ndi ma depositi a lithiamu ndikofunikira chifukwa dzikolo likukhala likulu la magalimoto amagetsi. Boma likufuna kukhazikitsa njira zogulitsira zinthu kuti zipititse patsogolo chidwi chake kwa osunga magalimoto.

Boma la Thailand likuthandizira kwambiri chitukuko cha magalimoto amagetsi, kupereka chithandizo cha 150,000 Thai Baht (pafupifupi 30,600 Chinese Yuan) pa galimoto yamagetsi mu 2023. Ntchitoyi yachititsa kuti kuphulika kwa 684% chaka ndi chaka kukukula kwa magetsi. msika wamagalimoto. Komabe, ndi thandizo lotsika mpaka 100,000 Thai Baht (pafupifupi 20,400 ma Yuan aku China) mu 2024, kakulidwe kake kakhoza kutsika pang'ono.

Mu 2023, mitundu yaku China idalamulira msika wamagalimoto amagetsi ku Thailand ndi gawo la msika kuyambira 70% mpaka 80%. Magalimoto anayi apamwamba kwambiri amagetsi ku Thailand onse anali amtundu waku China, omwe adapeza malo asanu ndi atatu mwa khumi apamwamba. Zikuyembekezeka kuti mitundu yambiri yamagalimoto amagetsi aku China alowa mumsika waku Thailand mu 2024.
