SHANGHAI, Nov 15 (SMM) – Some 600 mt in metal content of high-grade nickel pig iron (NPI) output will be affected in November as the second round of national environmental review extended to Shandong province.
Affected production accounted for some 1.7% of domestic high-grade NPI output in October, SMM calculated.
As of November 15, a local NPI plant has been required to shut two out of its three submerged-arc furnaces of 25,000 KVA. The mill produces around 900 mt in metal content of high-grade NPI during regular operation, accounting for 2.5% of China's monthly output.
From late October, five inspection teams from the central government began to settle in Shanxi, Liaoning, Jilin, Anhui, Shandong, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou and Shaanxi provinces to supervise local environmental conditions and review the implementation of rectification plans that were made during previous environmental checks.
