SMM News: "what is a MO source?" On May 24-26, at the "2018 small Metal Industry Summit" held in Nanning, Guangxi, an Changyou, general manager of Jiangxi Jiayin Optoelectronic Materials Co., Ltd., introduced at the beginning that Moyuan is an organic metal commonly used in MOCVD machines. The purity was more than 6N (99.9999%). In applications, 90 per cent is used in the LED industry.
MO source products include: trimethylgallium, triethyl gallium, trimethyl indium, trimethylaluminum, magnesium ferrocene.
MO sources play a major role in the LED industry, Anchang said.
The main raw materials of MO source are gallium and indium. China is the country with the richest gallium and indium resources in the world. China has about 140000 tonnes of gallium, or 75 per cent of the world's reserves, and about 13000 tonnes of indium, or 70 per cent of the world's reserves.
In the global MOsource major production enterprises, China's southern large photoelectric and Jiayin photoelectric for the most.
So what is the relationship between the MO source and gallium and indium?
China's demand for MO sources reaches 56 million tons per year, accounting for a very high proportion in the world.
In the global extension market distribution, an Changyou believes that the United States, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands is the first level; South Korea, mainland China and Taiwan are the second level; some mainland Chinese enterprises are the third level.
The price trend of gallium and indium is reviewed.

Finally, four new applications of gallium in petrochemical industry were introduced: gallium-containing zeolite catalyst, gallium-containing pyrolysis catalyst, increasing olefin conversion and aromatics conversion.
