Main distribution of basalt

              Anhui Mingguang City, basalt mineral resources are abundant, a large number of distribution is located in the west of Mingguang City, west of the city street office, 307, 309 provincial highway, 104 national highway, Bengning Expressway, Jinghu Railway through the territory, West Xu Industrial Zone sand and gravel special dock can dock 500 tons of ships direct navigation Yangtze River, the location is superior, the traffic is very convenient. Now the proven prospective reserves of 168 million tons, the proven exploitable reserves of 34 million tons, the largest reserves in the eastern part of Anhui, the annual mining and processing volume in more than 1 million tons, by Southeast University, Tongji University science and technology testing for the national level basalt. Basalt is the main raw material for the production of cast stone. With high chemical and acid resistance, hardness and mechanical strength, basalt is widely used in chemical, metallurgical, electric power, coal, building materials, textile and light industrial sectors. Basalt is the raw material for the production of basalt paper, lime volcanic rock clinker-free cement, decorative plates, artificial fibers, and is also an energy-saving raw material in the ceramic industry.

              The basalt in Caidian Township, Luoyang City, Henan Province is in the shape of large and small round blocks, with large reserves, widely distributed about 50 centimeters below the surface and up to more than 100 meters deep, the ore is inky black and of excellent quality. It is the best stone for high grade highway pavement, airport runway and railroad ballast.

               Basalt, the main component of oceanic crust, is a basaltic volcanic rock. It is the most important component of the Earth's oceanic crust and the lunar lunar sea, as well as of the Earth's terrestrial crust and the lunar land.
