[SMM Lithium Battery Anode Raw Material Market Weekly Review: Graphitisation Tolling Services Market Stagnant, Processing Fee Expected to Gradually Rise Later] June 25 news: This week, processing fees in the graphitisation tolling services market did not show significant fluctuations.

SMM, June 25:

This week, processing prices in the graphitisation tolling services market showed no significant fluctuations. Constrained by the large gap in self-owned integrated capacity at tier-1 and tier-2 anode producers, outsourced graphitisation processing orders maintained high-level growth. With demand recovery, tight supply, and persistently high production costs, expectations for price hikes still prevailed in the market. However, after a round of slight price adjustments early this month, some tolling operations emerged from loss-making situations, but overall industry profits remained thin. Amid the tug-of-war between upstream and downstream, market conditions were temporarily in a stalemate. Looking ahead, as downstream demand continues to recover, anode producers’ desire to bargain down prices is pulling back to secure stable supply, and graphitisation tolling processing fees are expected to rise gradually going forward.

[Lithium Battery: New Lithium Battery Material Renovation Project Added In Hunan]

Recently, the official website of Zhuzhou Economic Development Zone in Hunan Province released information regarding a pre-approval public notice for the environmental impact report of the annual 10,000-ton lithium battery material production line recycling renovation project of Hunan Leaguer Group Co., Ltd. The project is located at No. 1728, Changlong Road, Zhuzhou Economic Development Zone, Hunan Province. The project will utilize existing factory buildings for renovation. It involves retrofitting the existing ternary precursor cathode material production line 1 (5,000 t/a) by adding a nickel-cobalt-manganese mixed metal dissolution and impurity removal process; converting the existing 5,000 t/a iron phosphate production line into ternary precursor cathode material production line 2 (5,000 t/a); trial production of ternary precursor cathode materials will continue to rely on the existing pilot-scale line; simultaneously, the treatment measures for production exhaust gas, wastewater, and solid waste will be renovated.
