Recently, the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association Recycling Metals Branch reported on the operation of the recycled non-ferrous metals industry in the first three quarters of 2013. Wang Xiaoyang, deputy director of the Department of Energy Conservation and Comprehensive Utilization of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, vice president of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, Shang Fushan, president of the Recycling Metals Branch, Wang Jiwei, vice president and secretary general of the Recycling Metals Branch, and Li Shilong, vice president Briefing.

In the new century, China's renewable non-ferrous metal industry continued to develop rapidly. In 2012, the output of mainly recycled non-ferrous metals exceeded 10 million tons, becoming an important part of China's non-ferrous metal industry. Since the beginning of this year, China's renewable non-ferrous metal industry has faced severe and complicated domestic and international economic environment. With the strong support of relevant state departments, under the leadership of governments at all levels, it has overcome many adverse effects and difficulties, and the overall operational situation has remained basically stable.

Wang Jiwei said that in the first three quarters of this year, China's recycled non-ferrous metal industry has overcome the downward pressure on the domestic and international economy, and has maintained a basically stable operation. However, the economic benefits of enterprises have dropped significantly. The growth rate of investment in remelted metal smelting and processing projects has declined. The growth rate of import and export trade has declined. The prices of non-ferrous metals in domestic and foreign markets are still significantly lower than the same period last year, which has seriously affected the entire renewable non-ferrous metals industry. development of.

According to preliminary statistics, the total output of recycled non-ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, lead and zinc) in China in the first three quarters of 2013 was 7.22 million tons, down 5.1% year-on-year. The output of recycled copper was about 1.8 million tons, down 12.2% year-on-year; the output of recycled aluminum was about 3.5 million tons, down 3% year-on-year; the output of recycled lead was about 1.1 million tons, up 4.8% year-on-year; the output of recycled zinc was about 820,000. Tonne, down 8.9% year-on-year.

From January to August 2013, China imported a total of 4.394 million tons of copper, aluminum and zinc-containing wastes, amounting to US$11.41 billion, down 9% and 8.5% respectively. Among them, imported copper-containing scrap was 2.79 million tons, down 9.7% year-on-year, with an amount of 8.89 billion US dollars, down 8% year-on-year; imported aluminum-containing scrap was 1.58 million tons, down 7.6% year-on-year, with an amount of 2.48 billion US dollars, down 12.9% year-on-year; Zinc scrap was 24,000 tons, an increase of 9.1% year-on-year, with an amount of US$41 million, a year-on-year increase of 5.1%.

Since the beginning of this year, copper prices have continued to fluctuate downwards, from 60,270 yuan / ton at the beginning of the year, down to 52,700 yuan / ton at the end of September, a drop of 12.6%. In the 1st to 3rd quarters, the average price of 1# scrap copper was 49,460 yuan/ton, the average price of 2# scrap copper was 45,800 yuan/ton, and the average price of electrolytic copper was 53,806 yuan/ton. The average price of scrap aluminum was 12,509 yuan / ton, and the average price of recycled aluminum alloy ADC12 was 15,755 yuan / ton, down 8% from the same period of last year. As of the end of September, the price of waste lead-acid batteries was around 7,700 yuan / ton, unchanged from the beginning of the year.

In the first three quarters, the speed and quantity of fixed assets investment in the recycled non-ferrous metals industry decreased significantly. The main reason was that the development speed of recycled non-ferrous metal processing parks across the country decreased significantly, the number of enterprises entering the park decreased drastically, and the profitability of enterprises in the park weakened. increase. In addition, the number of newly-built recycled non-ferrous metal production enterprises decreased and the scale decreased significantly.

In the first three quarters, there were two main policies affecting industrial development. First, since February this year, the "Hedgerow" special action carried out by the General Administration of Customs in the country has had a great impact on the industry. The actions caused some enterprises to slow down the customs clearance speed, the backlog of containers, and additional costs. This caused a heavy blow to the recyclable metal enterprises with very tight capital chains, which aggravated the burden on enterprises. Second, the "Renewable Lead Industry Access Conditions" and "Aluminum Industry Standard Conditions" were announced and implemented. The improvement of the entry barrier and the further regulation of industrial development have created conditions for the technological advancement and industrial upgrading of the enterprises that promoted lead and recycled aluminum, and further curbed the disorderly enterprises.

Wang Jiwei summarized the industrial operation in the first three quarters as follows: the market demand weakened, the output declined slightly, and the production capacity was idle; the profit margin of processing enterprises decreased, and the loss of enterprises increased. Although some enterprises have increased the intensity of technological transformation, in general, China's renewable non-ferrous metal industry is not competitive, and its ability to withstand risks is poor.

Activated Carbon has a wide range of applications, such as: decolorization of sugar, military gas masks, cigarette filters, air purifiers, tap water treatment, drinking water purification, detoxification, sobering, pollution control of radioactive elements, reduction of residual pesticides in soil, soil conditioning , Governance indoor formaldehyde, vegetable preservation, and so on. This is mainly because:
The unique pore structure of activated carbon itself
Activated carbon is a type of microcrystalline carbon material that is mainly made of carbonaceous material and has a black appearance, a developed internal pore structure, a large specific surface area, and a strong adsorption capacity. Activated carbon materials have a large number of microscopic pores invisible to the naked eye. One gram of activated carbon material has micropores, and its surface area can be as high as 800-1500 square meters after unrolling, which is even higher for special applications. That is, in a rice grain-sized activated carbon granule, the internal surface area of the micropore may be equivalent to the size of a living room area. It is these highly developed, such as human capillary-like pore structure, so that activated carbon has excellent adsorption properties.
