Current Situation and Development Suggestions of China’s High−Purity Quartz Industry Chain

As the scarce resource in the world and China, high−purity quartz is related to economic security, national defense security and the security of strategic emerging industries such as semiconductor chips, photovoltaics and aerospace. This paper analyzes the current situation of high−purity quartz in China, such as the shortage of production capacity and the backward processing technology. The research shows that the lack of high−purity quartz quality evaluation standard is the main factor restricting China’s high−purity quartz industry, and the lack of high−quality raw material ore in China is the “bottleneck problem” restricting the healthy development of China’s high−purity quartz industry. Therefore, it is proposed that in the new round of prospecting breakthrough action, we should strengthen the industry−university−research cooperation, and select a number of high−quality high−purity quartz raw material ore exploration blocks for sale in public welfare exploration projects, so as to ensure the safety of industry chain in China.
