Application Status and Prospect of Geophysical Technology in Rare-Earth Resources Field
Rare earth resources(RER)are an important strategic resource.Achieving green exploration and development of RER is a key issue that restricts the high-quality development of the RER industry.The geophysical techniques have the advantages of permeability,efficiency and low cost,and play a key role in the green exploration and development of RER.This paper analyses the current research status on the application of geophysical prospecting technology from three aspects:exploration,mining and ecological restoration of rare earth resources.It points out the reasons that the current application of geophysical prospecting technology is relatively mature in light rare earth resources,while there is a lack of research on ionic rare earth ores containing heavy rare earth resources.To achieve green and sustainable development of rare earth resources and the environment,the geophysical technology should strengthen the research on multi-source fusion detection technology survey system for ionic rare earth deposits,follow-the-drill geophysical detection technology,in-situ multi-field source leaching technology and geophysical time-varying monitoring technology.
