alternative materials to solve the shortage of copper resources
Ministry of Commerce Website news: According held in Shanghai, "the sixth China International Copper Exhibition" was informed that, in recent years, the steady development of China's national economy, especially in the automotive industry, power grid construction, high-speed trains, the rapid development of new energy and other industries for copper production to provide a broad market. 2011, the national copper production reached 1028.15 tons, an increase of 17.75 percent, has 9 consecutive years, ranking first in the world, the world's total output accounted for more than half.
According to reports, China's copper shortage of resources, domestic resource supply rate of less than 25%, China's refined copper (copper) output ranks first in the world, but the raw materials used in the production of electrolytic copper powder, copper concentrate, copper and other renewable mainly rely on imports, only a quarter of domestic mineral copper, copper raw materials shortage has become a serious constraint to economic development. Therefore, how to save the consumption of copper, aluminum and copper to carry out in order to make full use of recycled copper raw Molybdenum tube, such as direct production of copper has become an important issue.
Therefore, experts also suggested that it should take full advantage of the rapid development of China's market economy for the copper market to provide funding and historic opportunity to build the southeast coast of the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, the Bohai Sea, state-owned enterprises modification, copper as the main raw materials industrial base.
