What Is Copper Smelting?

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Conditions and Conditions for Copper Smelting Industry" on the 28th, stating that copper smelting enterprises that use new copper concentrates and copper-containing secondary resources must have a smelting capacity of 100,000 tons / year or more. The production scale of existing copper smelting enterprises using copper-containing secondary resources as raw materials must not be less than 50,000 tons / year. The minimum capital ratio for copper smelting projects must reach 20%. At present, China's copper smelting and processing industry is currently facing a large number of small-scale enterprises. Large-scale enterprises account for less than 6%, and small-scale enterprises account for 80%. As the industry's entry barriers and environmental protection requirements further increase, backward production capacity will be eliminated quickly, and the copper smelting industry will accelerate its integration. Industry leaders are expected to benefit.
