Due to the limited resources, the cobalt production in China has been increased slowly and can not meet the demands of the domestic market for a long time, and the deficiency is made up by import. In recent years, the cobalt production in China (including production of cobalt oxide reduced to that of cobalt) has […]

In China, cobalt is mainly consumed in hard alloys, cobalt alloys, magnetic material, ceramics, chemical products and catalysts. In recent years, the hard alloy industry grows rapidly, and the demand for metallic cobalt powder rises. Besides, the demand of the battery industry for metallic cobalt powder increases dramatically, adding new energy to the market of […]

    Production The exploitation of cobalt as a by-product depends primarily on the main mineral. By the end of 1997, the number of exploited by-product cobalt occurrences had reached 66 in China with retained reserves of 251,000 tons, which accounted for 52.7% of the total retained reserves. Of the exploited occurrences, those without recovery […]

The explored cobalt resources in China are characterized by three main features. 1) Most cobalt occurs in low-grade ores and is mainly recovered as a by-product. According to the statistical analysis of over 50 deposits with cobalt reserves more than 1,000 tons in China, the average grade of cobalt is only 0.02%. As a result, […]
