In our recent communication with abrasives manufacturers, we learn that most of enterprises think it is too strict environmental policy, which makes many abrasives companies hard to survive.
Aluminum’s value chain starts with the mining of bauxite, one of the most abundant metals in the earth’s crust. Due to bauxite’s many impurities, it must be refined to produce alumina, which is then processed to produce raw aluminum.
The aluminum industry chain includes raw materials "bauxite, alumina and electrolytic aluminum" and products "aluminum processing". The profit elasticity of the whole industry chain lies in raw materials.
It seemed like a good idea at the time when I told the wife I would be making Christmas gifts for the kids and their spouses and partners this year. “It should be cheaper,” I seem to recall telling her earlier this fall. Sandpaper makes for a smooth ch
Alumina is the most important link in aluminium industry chain, and the biggest beneficiary on the prices of raw materials in the following two years.In China’s domestic spot market, downstream producers are expected to reduce purchases at the year-end.
Moving into 2017, stability appears to be the key aim of the major miners. For industrial minerals in particular, the outlook for 2017 is positive - with two major mergers announced in the titanium minerals sector in 2016, this could well be the theme of
The global aluminum oxide market is anticipated to observe significant growth over the forecast period due to growing demand from ceramic industries for manufacturing porous ceramics.
Bonded abrasives are the natural or synthetic abrasive grains which are usually bonded into a solid form. Bonded abrasives are usually made of the abrasive grains that are closely sized and molded or pressed to produce a wide variety of the products.
Tapan Kumar Chand, chairman of India's National Aluminum Company (Nalco), says that it is expected that the aluminum production will increase by 3.5% by the end of 2016, which mainly benefits from domestic consumption growth and prices.
The mine will be built by Guinea Alumina Corporation (GAC), an EGA subsidiary, and will supply EGA and world markets. GAC signed a 25-year mineral concession deal with Guinea in 2013, with the possibility of renewing it for another 25 years.
