Salt Resource,Environment and Its Exploitation and Utilization:Guest Editor's Preface to the"To Celebrate the 90th Birthday of Academician ZHENG Mianping and the 70th Anniversary of His Geological Work"
Salt lake is a comprehensive natural resource combing inorganic salt,organic matter and halophilic organisms,and it is also a natural information base and a natural laboratory.Its rich salt mineral resources and other related resources are closely related to agriculture,industry and many aspects of people's daily life.Modern continental salt lakes and ancient marine/continental salt basins cover a number of provinces and regions in China,which can be called as a"salt-rich"country.Related to this,salt minerals in strategic shortage such as potassium,lithium and boron are the focuses and hot spots of the new round of ore-prospecting breakthrough action,at the same time the exploitation and utilization of salt resources and environmental protection are two complementary aspects.Guided by the theory of"salinology"put forward by Academician ZHENG Mianping,with great support of the editorial office of"Acta Geoscientica Sinica",this"To celebrate the 90th Birthday of Academician ZHENG Mianping and the 70th Anniversary of His Geological Work"album collected a total of 18 relevant papers,focusing on the ore prospecting,genetic mechanism,exploitation and utilization as well as environmental warning in the field of salt resources and environment.The purpose is to provide reference for the subsequent theoretical research and practical application in the field of salt resources,and it is also a tribute to the 90th birthday of Academician ZHENG Mianping and the 70th anniversary of his geological work.
