China's largest copper smelter

China's largest copper smelter has proposed a production cut of 5% to 10% and decided not to publish copper processing fee (TC) guidance prices for the second quarter, two people familiar with the matter said on Thursday. The decision was taken after a meeting of the China Smelter Purchasing Group (CSPT) in the commercial hub of Shanghai, which has been facing the dual dilemma of raw material supply shortages and a sharp drop in TC prices in the spot market.

Participants told Reuters that large smelters are concerned about the current situation in the spot market, which they believe has become divorced from true market fundamentals.


It is worth noting that the last time CSPT refused to set a guidance price was in the second quarter of 2021. In addition, large smelters made proposals to limit output in January this year, but did not take actual action.


Smelters such as Jiangxi Copper, Jinchuan Group and China Copper have yet to comment on this production reduction proposal and not announcing the TC guidance price.

Sandblasting nozzle classification and use

Using high-pressure air as a power source to drive abrasive particles to hit objects within a certain range will produce a great impact. The function of the sandblasting nozzle is to spray abrasive particles on the object evenly and efficiently. Sandblasting nozzles can be divided into: straight hole sandblasting nozzle, Venturi sandblasting nozzle , double Venturi sandblasting nozzle, angle sandblasting nozzle Straight hole nozzle: There are only contraction section and straight section inside, the structure is simple and easy to manufacture. This kind of nozzle cannot overcome the vortex phenomenon existing at the inlet end, and the pressure loss is large; the abrasive velocity at the outlet is less than 100m/s under the pressure of 0.7MPa.

Working principle and parameters of industrial slurry pump

In order for the industrial slurry pump to fully play its role, we need to understand the working principle of the industrial slurry pump: https://www.lzzgmachine.com/products/supporting-equipment/slurry-pump.html Under the action of centrifugal force, the liquid is thrown from the center of the impeller to the outer edge and gains energy to leave the outer edge of the impeller at a high speed and enter the volute pump shell. In the volute pump case, the Fluid is slowed down due to the gradual expansion of the flow channel, and part of the kinetic energy is converted into static pressure energy. At last, it flows into the discharge pipe and is sent to the place where it is needed. When the liquid flows from the center of the impeller to the outer edge, a certain vacuum is formed in the center of the impeller. Above the liquid level of the storage tank is greater than the pressure at the pump inlet, the liquid is continuously pressed into the impeller. LZZG slurry pump pe...

The difference between quartz and mica

Mica and quartz are common minerals that play an important role in mineralogy. Although they are both silicate minerals, there are clear differences between them. First, mica and quartz are very different in appearance. One of its distinguishing features is that mica exhibits a layered structure that can be easily peeled off into thin flakes. Quartz, on the other hand, is a uniform crystal with no layered structure. Additionally, mica is usually dark in color, such as black, brown, or green, while quartz is usually clear or white. Secondly, mica and quartz also differ in their physical and chemical properties. The hardness of mica is usually between 2.5 and 4, which is relatively easy to be scratched; while the hardness of quartz is very high, 7, which is a very hard mineral. In addition, mica has good refractive properties and electrical properties, while quartz is an excellent piezoelectric material.
