subject: Growing Trend Of Antimony Industry In China [print this page] According to investigation, the present annual demand for antimony on the international market is predicted at about 90,000 tons and the annual domestic demand in China is roughly 10,000 tons, totalling about 100,000 tons per year. Besides China, other countries produce 40,000~45,000 tons of antimony products per year. This, plus China"s production, amount to 160,000~165,000 tons (figure of the year 1995) per year. Thus the world"s production of antimony products will be 60%~65% more than the demand (i.e. the supply will exceed the demand), leading to the decline of antimony price on the international market. According to the forecast by the former China National Nonferrous Metals Corp. and the former Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources, the total of China"s domestic antimony demand and exports will be 36,900 tons (of which 11,900 tons is for domestic market) in the year 2000 and 46,800 tons (of which 16,800 tons is for domestic market) in the year 2010. Antimony products are China"s traditional commodities for export to earn foreign exchange. China"s antimony products are low in production cost, high in quality and competitive on the international market. For example, the products of the Shanxing Brand of the Xikuangshan Bureau of Mines, the Huachang Brand of the Yiyang Antimony Plant, and the Jiutong Brand of the Banxi antimony mine are all brand-name products very famous on the international merket. The products of the Shanxing Brand, in particular, are exempt from inspection requirement on that market. China"s exportation of antimony products has made great contributions to the earning of foreign exchange for the country, and should continue in a proper way in the future. An analysis indicates that to maintain and develop China"s preponderance and initiative in antimony products exportation, it is proper for the country to export 25,000~30,000 tons of the products per year.As the professional manufacturer of complete sets of mining machinery, such as spiral separator,spiral separator, Henan Hongxing is always doing the best in products and service. Based on the predicted antimony demand mentioned above, it is held that the required minable reserve up to the year 2000 will be 350,000 tons (cumulative tonnage in the period 1993~2000) and that from 2001~2010 will be 530,000 tons (cumulative tonnage), totalling 880,000 tons. The present retained reserve is 2.78 million tons, of which 1.58 million tons are minable. Therefore, on the whole the resources can well meet the demand up to the year 2010 and even up to the year 2020. Bur close attention must be paid to this supply-demand situation because some of the mines are old ones that have been mined for many years and some have entered their late stage of mining. Additional resources are urgently needed. Geological exploration of antimony for mines is still a heavy task. It is imperative to search for and prospect additional orebodies, ore blocks or deposits at the depth, in the periphery or near the mines that are in operation.vsi sand maker:http://www.hx-crusher.com/sand_maker.html mineral impact crusher:http://www.hx-china.com/3.html
