On January 19, the heavy pollution weather in Henan Province has not improved. in recent days, the region has upgraded its heavy pollution warning one after another. it is even more difficult for lead refineries, which were originally suspended and restricted because of environmental protection problems, to resume work completely in the near future. It is understood that Henan region was originally required to limit the production of lead smelting enterprises, or will continue to increase the proportion of production restrictions on the basis of the existing production restrictions.

On March 9, a seminar on the development strategy of the lead-based reactor nuclear energy industry on the theme of "developing the lead-based reactor industry and creating new energy sources" was held in Hefei, Anhui Province. At the meeting, it was suggested that the Institute of Nuclear Safety Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences should take the lead in building an innovative strategic alliance for the lead-based reactor industry.

On April 16, Changning Shuikoushan Nonferrous Metals Industrial Park, Minmetals Nonferrous Copper lead and Zinc Industry Base lead Refining and rare Comprehensive recovery Project officially started. With the construction of the lead project, the copper-lead-zinc industrial base is further from the production target of "300000 tons of copper + 300000 tons of zinc + 100000 tons of lead", and the embryonic form of the "100 billion" industrial park is beginning to emerge.

On May 30, the Consumer goods Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology held an interview with Jiangsu Lishi Battery Co., Ltd. Prior to this, when the Consumer goods Industry Department organized an expert group to conduct random spot checks on some lead battery manufacturers that had entered the list of lead battery manufacturers that had entered the notice list of the "Standard conditions for the lead Battery Industry (2015)" (hereinafter referred to as "the Standard conditions"), It is found that there is a serious violation of the "standard conditions" in Jiangsu Richie Battery Co., Ltd.

The National Standard regenerated lead and lead Alloy Ingot (GB/T21181-2017), jointly issued by the State Administration of quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the State Standardization Administration Commission, will be implemented today. At that time, the original "national standard regenerated lead and lead alloy ingots (GB/T21181-2007)" will be replaced.

On the evening of June 8, camel shares announced that in the next three years, the company plans to invest 1.5 billion yuan in the recycled lead plate to add three new production bases, and at the same time carry out technological upgrading and transformation of the original production bases. To form an annual capacity of not less than 1 million tons for the treatment of waste lead-acid batteries.

South32 Ltd., a global diversified mining company Agreed to buy Arizona Mining for $130 million to add a large silver, lead and zinc project in the United States because the industry can pay off.

In June, it was understood that the Ministry of Ecology and Environment was considering a law enforcement inspection of the legality of raw materials in battery production and smelting and disposal enterprises. In the future or to the backbone enterprises to issue waste lead battery collection license, and the implementation of the national network electronic examination and approval of cross-provincial transfer list.

On June 30, in order to further standardize the management of environmental impact assessment, the Ministry of Environmental Protection recently formulated a list of major changes in 14 industry construction projects, including copper-lead-zinc smelting construction (for trial implementation), which was recently issued.
