01 Overview of DolomiteDolomite can be considered a double salt composed of magnesite and calcite. Its main chemical component is CaMg(CO₃)₂, with a theoretical composition (ω/%) of: MgO 21.7%, CaO 30.4%, and CO₂ 47.90%. It is often associated with mineral impurities such as quartz and feldspar [1]. The theoretical decomposit…

China's top rare earth scientist calls for a fundamental transformation in the nation's approach to its most valuable mineral resources—moving beyond raw material strength to technological leadership. In an exclusive interview during the 2026 "Two Sessions" (National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Con…

As the opening year of China's "15th Five-Year Plan" (2026-2030), 2026 marks a pivotal moment for the nation's critical minerals industry. With energy and resource security firmly established as a national priority, the sector is poised for significant growth and transformation, presenting new opportunities for global p…
