JANUARY 15, 2022

BHP, a world leading resources company, has invested US$40 million into Kabanga Nickel in Tanzania. Lifezone hydromet is more cost-efficient than smelting, has a significantly lower environmental impact, and will ensure that finished Class 1 battery-grade nickel, copper and cobalt will be produced in Tanzania, Kabanga Nickel said.

First, environmental plant closures in the raw material coal needle coke industry hampered the production of graphite electrodes. At the same time, consumption of graphite electrodes in electric arc furnaces (EAFs) began to rise as the Chinese government took steps to halt production of poor quality induction furnace steel.

According to the authors: In India the provisions of mandatory blending could not be enforced as seed production fell far short of the expectation. China is seeing very little production of biodiesel from Jatropha seeds. A recent study has reported discontinuance by 85% of the Jatropha farmers. —Kant and Wu.

That spherical graphite is a less expensive product than its cousin, where we take the spherical graphite and put it through a secondary process called coating—applying that microscopic layer of asphalt to it. It’s a petroleum product. Will there be that much production online in Canada? China’s got an enormous resource there.

Roskill: Spread of COVID-19 threatens cobalt supply; bottlenecks out of DRC

Green Car Congress

APRIL 21, 2020

According to a January 2020 report from the US Geological Survey (USGS), the DRC is the world’s leading source of mined cobalt, supplying approximately 70% of world cobalt mine production. With the exception of production in Morocco and artisanally mined cobalt in DRC, most cobalt is mined as a byproduct of copper or nickel.
