How heavy is Bayan Obo
A few days ago, a tweet "How beautiful Bayan Obo is" triggered many readers inside and outside the region to yearn for Bayan Obo. and fondness. The author was greatly encouraged by this and decided to launch a series of tweets for readers such as "How heavy is Bayan Obo", "How red is Bayan Obo", and "How fragrant Bayan Obo is". I hope readers will continue to pay attention.
Today let’s talk about how heavy Baiyun Obo is.
Home of rare earths in the world, and a national-level independent industrial and mining zone. With these two names alone, you can see that Bayan Obo plays an important role in Baotou City, Inner Mongolia and even the whole country.
As early as 1927, with the famous Chinese geologist Ding Daoheng discovering the iron ore body on the main peak of Bayan Obo for the first time, and the chemist He Zuolin later discovering rare earth elements in the Bayan Obo ore, this hot land was destined to be turbulent. , magnificent scene, destined to attract the attention of the world.
In December 1949, just two months after the founding of the Republic, the first national steel industry conference organized by the Ministry of Heavy Industry decided to investigate the mineral resources of Bayan Obo. The following year, the National Geological Industry Conference decided to establish the Central People's Government's Bayan Obo Geological Survey Team (renamed 241 Geological Team in 1952) to conduct a comprehensive survey of Bayan Obo's mineral resources. The Ministry of Geology mobilized geological forces across the country to support Bayan Obo, and all the only seven drilling rigs in North China were transported to Bayan Obo.
There is an astonishing amount of iron ore deep in the main peak of Baiyun'ebo! Based on the census results, the state officially decided to implement open-pit mining in Bayan Obo and use the resources of the Baiyun Obo iron ore to officially build the steel-clad steel complex.
The design plan for Baogang Steel was completed in 1955, sponsored by 12 design institutes in the Soviet Union and assisted by 23 domestic design institutes. There are 88 volumes of design plans, of which volumes 2-13 are specifically designed for Bayan Obo Mine .
In 1954, Baotou Steel officially started construction. As its raw material base, the Bayan Obo Iron Mine was established in 1957. In 1958, Bayan Obo Mining Area was established. In 1959, Baotou Steel was officially put into operation. Premier Zhou Enlai visited Baotou in person to cut the ribbon for the iron tapping of No. 1 blast furnace. From then on, Bayan Obo and Baotou Steel worked together to devote everything they had to the construction of the Republic.
Subsequent scientific surveys have shown that the Bayan Obo Iron Mine is a large-scale symbiotic deposit of iron, rare earths, niobium and other metals, containing more than 41% of the world's total proven reserves of rare earth minerals and iron, niobium, manganese, phosphorus , fluorite and other 71 elements and 175 minerals. Among them, rare earth reserves are 100 million tons, accounting for 38% of the world's total proven reserves, ranking first in the world.
60 years ago, Bayan Obo has transported more than 400 million tons of iron ore to Baotou Steel. The steel rare earth products such as plates, pipes, rails, and wires smelted from it have strongly supported the national Three Gorges Dam and Beijing and Shanghai. The construction of high-speed railway and Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway has strongly supported the infrastructure construction of many countries along the “Belt and Road”.
Today, Bayan Obo has scientifically drawn up the "three places and one point" development positioning based on the actual situation of the region. The whole region is following the construction of the world's new rare earth raw material base, the national strategic mineral resources comprehensive utilization base, the autonomous region tourist destination and Baotou is an important fulcrum of the grand goal of opening up to the outside world. We must work hard, work hard, and move forward with courage!
