January 28th news
On January 22nd, the Quzhou Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment Jiangshan Branch accepted and publicized the environmental impact assessment report for the "Annual Recycling of 130,000 Tons of Calcium Fluoride Sludge to Produce 80,000 Tons of Artificial Fluorite Powder, 20,000 Tons of Artificial Fluorite Pellets, 20,000 Tons of Calcium Silicate, and 3,000 Tons of Silicon Dioxide New Material Production Line Construction Project" by Jiangshan Xieli Cement Co., Ltd.
Chempricehub Analysis of Fluorite Ore, Bull-Bear Score: -1
This project involves the annual production of 100,000 tons of artificial fluorite products (including fluorite powder and fluorite pellets) through the recycling of calcium fluoride sludge, which will increase market supply and may partially replace the demand for natural fluorite ore. As a primary raw material for fluorite, the increased supply is expected to exert downward pressure on spot prices, with a high risk of short-term price declines. Therefore, a generally bearish score is assigned.
Fluorite, Bull-Bear Score: -1
The article mentions an annual production of 80,000 tons of artificial fluorite powder and 20,000 tons of artificial fluorite pellets. The additional supply will directly impact the fluorite spot market. The lower production costs of artificial products may drive down the prices of natural fluorite, particularly in the absence of significant demand growth. Given the anticipated supply surplus, the assessment indicates a generally bearish impact.
