The "11th China Precious Metals Recycling International Forum" organized by the China Materials Recycling Association Rare and Precious Metals Recycling Committee and hosted by Tonghua Platinum Enterprise Management (Beijing) Co., Ltd. was successfully held in Hainan from November 5 to 7, 2017.
The "11th China Precious Metals Recycling International Forum" hosted by the China Material Recycling Association's Precious Metals Recycling Committee and organized by Tonghua Platinum Enterprise Management (Beijing) Co., Ltd. was successfully held in Hainan from November 5 to 7, 2017.
In 2017, the precious metals industry underwent significant changes, with rapid development in the application of catalysts and new materials, leading to a surge in the prices of precious metals such as palladium and rhodium. A new series of environmental protection policies were introduced, and new regulations in fiscal and tax policies in some regions had a significant impact on enterprises involved in the recycling and utilization of precious metals. These factors prompted enterprises in the industry to develop towards scale, standardization, efficiency, environmental protection, and health. This conference provided authoritative analysis of the new environmental protection policies; drafted explanations for standards related to the recycling and refining of expired petrochemical catalysts and used three-way catalysts; discussed in-depth the situation of some enterprises facing tight operating funds and tightened fiscal and tax policies in some provinces; released the current status of the precious metals recycling industry; and recommended new technologies for the processing and refining of precious metals.
Bian Jiang, Vice President and Secretary-General of the China Material Recycling Association's Precious Metals Recycling Committee, and Hu Min, General Manager of Heraeus Metals (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., respectively chaired the meeting. Vice President Bian Jiang explained the meeting agenda, presentation content, and discussion format. All presentation reports were made after multiple communications and discussions between the speakers and the Precious Metals Recycling Committee, with several revisions and improvements. The reports focused on the development status of the industry both domestically and internationally, providing directional guidance, allowing participating enterprises to clearly grasp the current situation and subsequently plan their production and operations. Vice President Bian Jiang expressed full recognition and gratitude for the high-quality reports given by the speakers on behalf of the precious metals recycling industry.
Jin Xiaoqin, an engineer from the Solid Waste Center of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, interpreted the newly introduced policies related to the recycling and utilization of precious metals one by one and explained the regulatory direction of the environmental protection department.
Various types of waste catalysts are an important source for the recycling and utilization of precious metals. The standardized management of waste catalysts and the formulation of various standards are currently important tasks in this industry. In this regard, Liu Zhijian, Deputy General Manager of Sinopec Catalyst Company, provided a detailed explanation of the current situation and management planning. Liu Zhijian stated that Sinopec Catalyst Company is one of the top three catalyst manufacturing companies globally, and Sinopec is the largest catalyst application company in China, holding a 70% market share. It is also the largest producer of waste catalysts in the country, managing waste catalyst disposal in a centralized and unified manner. To strengthen the resource utilization and recycling of waste catalysts and protect the sustainable development of the ecological environment, Sinopec has the responsibility to undertake the detailed management and standardized operation of waste catalysts. Destructive and protective transformations of waste catalysts in categories such as FCC, hydrogenation, and reforming are being carried out, and cooperation on the harmless disposal of waste catalysts is being conducted with major research institutions and enterprises in the industry. Under the leadership of the Precious Metals Recycling Committee, a research center for the harmless disposal of FCC waste catalysts was jointly established this year with Beijing University of Science and Technology and Jiangxi Zili Environmental Protection Co., Ltd. Liu Zhijian believes that currently, various types of waste catalysts are classified as hazardous waste, and there is a serious lack of standards related to loading, unloading, collection, sampling, and packaging. Under the leadership of the Precious Metals Recycling Committee, Sinopec's catalyst company, major refining and chemical enterprises, and key recycling and disposal enterprises in the industry will jointly draft relevant standards, which will undoubtedly have a positive impact on standardizing the waste catalyst field.
Liu Qiang, Executive Vice President of the China Material Recycling Association, provided a detailed explanation of the development trends of the entire recycling resource industry and relevant policies in the precious metals recycling field. He offered guiding opinions on the causes of fiscal and tax changes in relevant regions and how the involved enterprises should respond correctly, expressing hope for the healthy development of the precious metals recycling industry.
As some of the world's most important precious metals companies, Kumar Pole, General Manager of BASF Metals (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., and Hu Min, General Manager of Heraeus Metals (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., respectively introduced the development status of the global precious metals industry, the development trends of China's precious metals industry, the supply and demand relationship of platinum group metals, the vision for cooperation in China's development, and the service areas in China.
Due to the surge in the application of precious metals such as palladium and rhodium, a situation of product supply not meeting demand has emerged, coupled with the push from some financial investment institutions, leading to a dramatic increase in the prices of palladium and rhodium this year. Li Jian, Vice Chairman of the International Palladium Association, and Jiang Jicheng, Market Research Manager for China at ZRCC, conducted in-depth analyses from different perspectives on the recycling application status and price trends of platinum group metals, making judgments on future development trends. They unanimously agreed that the production of metals such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium remains stable, maintaining the current status; the share of platinum group metals in the recycling field will continue to expand, the application of palladium will also increase, but the growth will be moderate, and there will not be a repeat of this year's dramatic increase. If prices continue to rise excessively, related enterprises will resume the use of platinum; the promotion of new energy vehicles will not impact the application of precious metals within thirty years, and the application of precious metals in hybrid new energy vehicles will still be higher than that in ordinary gasoline vehicles.
Li Kun, Deputy General Manager of Guiyan Resources (Yimen) Co., Ltd., elaborated on the status of the recycling and disposal of expired three-way catalysts, the impact of market and policy factors on the recycling of expired catalysts, and provided suggestions for industry development as a major recycling and disposal enterprise in the country.
Wang Haibei, Director of the Xuzhou Beikang Metal Recycling Research Institute, and Gao Daolin, an engineer from Hubei Xinuowei New Silicone Material Company, respectively explained the latest advanced extraction technologies for precious metals. Smelting technology for collaborative recovery and new generation intelligent adsorption extraction for low-content metals coexist in the field of precious metal recycling and extraction technology, providing a cost-effective choice for difficult-to-melt and difficult-to-extract metals, generating strong interest among participating enterprises in the new technologies.
Alexey Korneenko, the project leader of the Krasnoyarsk Nonferrous Metals R&D Center in Russia, introduced the transformation of solutions in the catalyst processing field to the conference in a dynamic presentation style. The new pyrometallurgical processing technology and comprehensive decision-making solutions will significantly improve the economic benefits of traditional market decision-making. Alexey created a ten-minute video of part of the presentation, vividly explaining the report content under the powerful visual impact of a large LCD screen and the theater-like sound effects, allowing the representatives present to feel more closely the new technological solutions.
During the conference, the organizing committee arranged for some representatives to visit the Sinopec Hainan Refining and Chemical Plant in the Yangpu Development Zone of Hainan.
