Utilization of Serpentine Resources in China

Abstract:

As a new type of non-metallic mineral resource, serpentine has attracted more and more attentions. Serpentine mineral resources are abundant in China, with more than 5 billion tons reserves proved. However, most of them have not been used adequately except for some special serpentine, such as serpentine jade and chrysotile. The overview for status quo of serpentine utilization consists of the distribution, chemical compositions, crystal structure of serpentine, mature but not economic applications and some development of high-value utilization research. It is expected to provide some references for deeper research and promoting its applications.
