Abstract:

As the important raw material of metallurgical and chemical industry，electrolytic manganese makes great contributions to the rapid development of national industry.But many issues occur in the process of exploitation and processing of the manganese resource，for example，low utilization efficiency，low production intensity and poor management of resource，these not only destroyed the resource condition but also gave stern impact on the environment.Our electrolytic manganese industry is facing many challenges，such as resources shortage and environment protection.Based on the systematic analysis of the pressure of resources shortage，environment and safety，strategic measures for sustainable development of electrolytic manganese industry in China were reviewed and discussed.It is strongly emphasized that states should focus on implementing limited production，appropriate development，intensifying prospecting work，and making full use of both domestic and foreign resources；accelerating the adjustment of industrial structure of electrolytic manganese to develop and strengthen a number of largescale production enterprises with advanced technology and high utilization rate of resources through mergers and restructuring and other measures；determining and optimizing the pattern of economic growth based on resources and environment，developing and refining industry development policy of electrolytic manganese，encouraging enterprises to promote cleaner production.

Key words: electrolytic manganese, cleaner production, recycle economy, sustainable development.
