nickel metal hydride battery Ultrafine nickel powder market has a broad prospect
In recent years, with the rapid development of mobile phones, laptops, computers and other communication equipment, the market demand for ultrainenickel power supply has grown rapidly.According to statistics, the average annual growth of world nickel demandAbout 20% metal hydrogen batteries.Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors for electronic products are in great demand for ultra-fine nickel powder.To meet the fast-growing market demand, the United States, Japan and other countries continue to invest heavily in expanding nickel production capacitymetal hydride.The Japanese mining company has invested US $19 million, with an annual output of over 24 tons.The expansion of the fine nickel powder factory is expected to reach 384 tons by the end of this year, becoming the world's largest manufacturer of ultra-fine nickel powder.Inco also invested US $14 million to expand the production capacity of the UK battery material nickel refinery, and the production value of special powder products will reach US $0.4 billion.Like other countries in the world, the development of mobile phones, laptops, computers and nickel in ChinaThe metal hydrogen battery is also very amazing. The Tianjin nickel battery base is large-Production and export of silicon powder.China's battery industry, a few years ago, saw demand for nickel products reaching 200 tons. The output or quality of nickel powder in China has risen to about 4000 tons, which cannot meet the market demand, especially in the production of ultra-fine nickel powder.Due to the strict requirements of nickel, the technical requirements of the inner electrode of the multi-layer Ceramic CapacitorMetal hydrogen batteries and electronic products, in addition to the high requirements for the chemical composition and impurity content of ultra-fine nickel powder, the physical properties of the products, including powder particle size, surface properties, higher requirements for particle shape and uniformity.There is a gap between China's nickel powder production technology and process equipment and developed countries. Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of product quality, many manufacturers mainly use imported ultra-fine nickel powder as raw materials, the balance between production and demand has brought us a topic worth studying.By analyzing the proportion of nickel consumption in all industries in recent years, it is not difficult to find that the nickel consumption field of China's metal powder suppliers has undergone fundamental changes.In 1999, nickel consumption in China's metallurgical industry was about tons.The consumption of nickel in the battery industry is about 4000 tons.In the catalyst industry, the production of nickel is about 5000 tons.This magnetic material consumes 500 tons of nickel.In the past, the metallurgical industry with large nickel consumption is now developing slowly.Nickel consumption growth lags behind.Nickel consumption in the battery industry and in the catalyst industry is growing at an alarming rate.The demand for nickel products in emerging industries is diversified, showing an upward trend.The market is dominated by imported goods.It's a pity.Nickel production enterprises in China should seize the opportunity to change the practice of reprocessing.The lighting market in the planned economic period is dominated by primary products.It is necessary to intensify technological innovation, introduce advanced foreign technologies and equipment, and strive for greater market share
