[SMM April 22 Cobalt Chloride spot Express] in April, the order of lithium cobalt chloride downstream cobalt chloride market was better than that of ternary material, and the basic feedback of lithium cobalt acid battery factory and material factory in April was the same as that in March. Demand for cobalt chloride has been sporadic this week, and downstream is expected to prepare for May orders starting next week. If the "closure" of South Africa continues at the end of April and the difficulties in the transportation of raw materials continue to be delayed, it will continue to support the willingness of cobalt chloride manufacturers to bid. Large cobalt chloride manufacturers are not shipping this week, the market low price supply is less, downstream demand is relatively low, cobalt chloride price is stable, today's SMM cobalt chloride price 5.3-56000 yuan / ton.

534 Million Yuan! New Progress in the 30,000 mt/Year Sodium-Ion Battery Materials Project in Changzhi, Shanxi

Recently, Shanxi Xiang'an Energy Technology Co., Ltd. published the environmental impact assessment draft for public comment for its annual production of 30,000 mt of sodium-ion battery materials project. The project is located in the Fuyang Industrial Park, Xiangyuan Economic and Technological Development Zone, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province. The main part of the project and associated utilities include the construction of two production lines for sodium-ion battery cathode materials and one production line for anode materials, along with supporting pure water preparation, air compression systems, nitrogen generation systems, dehumidification systems, and cooling water circulation systems. The processes adopted include: pretreatment (mixing + sand milling + iron removal + spray drying), sagger loading, vibration leveling, grid insertion + sintering, and final treatment (jet milling + batch mixing + sieving + packaging). Once operational, the project will produce 25,000 mt of sodium-ion battery cathode materials and 5,000 mt of anode materials annually. The total investment of the project is 534 million yuan, with an environmental protection investment of 3.64 million yuan, accounting for 0.68%.
