Therefore, it has become imperative to search for Li from other sources. Li in coal is thought to be one of the candidates. In this study, the petrology, mineralogy, and geochemistry of No. 21 coal from the Hebi No. 6 mine, Anhe Coalfield, China, was reported, with an emphasis on the distribution, modes of occurrence, and origin of Li. The results show that Li is enriched in the No. 21 coal, and its concentration coefficient (CC) value is 6.6 on average in comparison with common world coals.

High-resolution sedimentary records can help us to assess how erosion and weathering have evolved in response to recent climatic and anthropogenic disturbances. Here we present data from a high- resolution (∼75 cm/k.y.) sedimentary archive from the South China Sea. Provenance data indicate that the sediment was derived from the Red River, and can be used to reconstruct the erosion and/or weathering history in this river basin.

  • DIGITAL ECONOMY GROWTH and MINERAL RESOURCES Implications for Developing Countries
    DIGITAL ECONOMY GROWTH AND MINERAL RESOURCES Implications for Developing Countries No16 UNCTAD, DIVISION ON TECHNOLOGY AND LOGISTICS SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND ICT BRANCH ICT POLICY SECTION TECHNICAL NOTE NO16 UNEDITED TN/UNCTAD/ICT4D/16 DECEMBER 2020 Digital economy growth and mineral resources: 1 implications for developing countries Abstract: This technical note examines the link between growing digitalization of the world economy and the demand for various elements. It feeds into the overall research work of the UNCTAD E- commerce and Digital Economy (ECDE) work programme. The study focuses on the following issues in view of the growing use of digital technologies: What metals/minerals will be more demanded as a result?; What changes in demand can be expected compared with today's situation?; Which mineral-rich developing countries are likely to be most affected by the growth in demand of different metals and minerals?; Which are the main actors (including possibly new actors such as digital companies) involved in the extraction, smelting and refining of these minerals and metals?; and How recyclable will these "new" metals be and to what extent may they be adding to the problem of "e-waste"? Based primarily on desk top research, complemented by a few interviews with representatives from industry and academia, the study deals primarily with the functional parts of computers and other devices, which are at the core of the digital economy. Demands for raw materials from the structural parts of the devices and the networks necessary as well as their energy supply and the consequences of the transition to a fossil free world are not covered.
