SMM9 March 10: under the influence of the epidemic, subsidy retreat and brand-new policies, we will be able to better achieve accelerated counter-overshoot and rapid warming in the second half of the year. We have integrated the upstream and downstream enterprises located in the industrial chain, so why don't we follow our "lithium power travel" and inspect the production situation of raw material enterprises in China's lithium power industry on the spot? From September 8th to 11th, SMM Executive Director Ma Qiong, SMM New Energy Director Wang Tian, and marketing consultant Yu Lei led SMM staff and representatives of downstream lithium enterprises to visit Jiangxi lithium power industry raw material enterprises. The delegation was sponsored by Shanghai Fresi Valve, Zhejiang Kaiyi Environment and Ningbo Boye Valve. The fifth stop Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Industry Co., Ltd.

Enterprise voice

Today, representatives of SMM and lithium downstream enterprises came to Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Industry Co., Ltd., Ganfeng Lithium Vice Presidents Xiong Jianlang, Liu Ming, Xiong Xunman, R & D Minister Liao Zi, Technology Minister Peng Aiping and other leaders extended a warm welcome and received them. First of all, Peng Aiping, Minister of Technology, introduced the business development of the company in detail.

Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Industry Co., Ltd. was established in March 2000 with a registered capital of 1.32 billion yuan and more than 5000 employees. Ganfeng Lithium Industry is the only listed company in China's lithium industry (A stock code: 002460; H stock code is 01772), and it is the world's leading lithium pioneer company. The company's business runs through all important links of the value chain, such as upstream lithium resources development, mid-stream lithium salt deep processing and metal lithium smelting, downstream lithium battery manufacturing and comprehensive recycling of waste batteries, etc. The products cover more than 40 kinds of five series, including lithium metal, lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, butyl lithium, lithium ion battery and lithium battery materials, which are widely used in electric vehicles, energy storage, 3C products, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The enterprise has lithium ore resources in many countries and regions all over the world, and has the industrial technology of "extracting lithium from brine", "extracting lithium from ore" and "recovering lithium", and has the ability of battery manufacturing and recovery. for electric vehicles, batteries, electronic equipment and other manufacturers to provide a complete supply of raw materials, battery customization, recycling of waste batteries. The company is the world's largest producer of lithium metal and the second largest producer of lithium compounds in the world. It has signed long-term supply agreements with automotive companies and power battery giants such as LG of South Korea, BMW of Germany, Tesla of the United States, and power battery giants to supply battery-grade lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate products; the company achieved an operating income of about 5.342 billion yuan in 2019 and a net profit of about 358 million yuan, while in the first quarter of 2020, it achieved an operating income of 1.079 billion yuan.

Ganfeng Lithium Industry is the technical leader of China's national lithium industry. It is one of the founding units of Lithium Branch of China Nonferrous Metals Association and Lithium Branch of China Inorganic Salt Association, both of which are vice-chairman units. The company has been awarded the honors of "National technological Innovation demonstration Enterprise", "National Torch Plan key High-tech Enterprise", "National intellectual property demonstration Enterprise" and so on. It has national and provincial research platforms such as "National Enterprise Technology Center", "National and Local Joint Engineering Research Center for Lithium-based New Materials", "National postdoctoral Research Workstation", "Academician Workstation" and so on. Presided over (participated in) the drafting of 24 national (industry) standards, applied for 361 national patents and authorized 183 national patents. It has undertaken more than 30 provincial-level and above-provincial projects such as the National 863 Program, national key R & D projects and major science and technology projects in Jiangxi Province, and won 15 provincial and ministerial-level science and technology awards, including 1 first-class prize for scientific and technological progress in Jiangxi Province, 2 first-class prizes for scientific and technological progress of China Nonferrous Metals Association, and 3 second-class prizes for technological inventions in Jiangxi Province.

Looking to the future, the company will adhere to the sacred mission of "making use of limited lithium resources to create a green, clean and healthy life for human development and progress", and adhere to the development strategy of "strengthen the middle reaches, gain a foothold in the upstream, expand the downstream, strive to build an international first-class enterprise with the integration of the upstream and downstream of the global lithium industry", and carry forward the core values of "integrity, responsibility, cooperation, efficiency and innovation". Relying on scientific and technological innovation to continue to lead the technological development direction of the domestic lithium industry, relying on the listed capital platform to build the first national brand of China's lithium industry.

Visit the factory

Subsequently, SMM and representatives of downstream lithium enterprises visited the factory of Ganfeng Lithium Industry to gain a deep understanding of the important links in the value chain such as upstream lithium resource development, mid-stream lithium salt deep processing and metal lithium smelting, downstream lithium battery manufacturing and comprehensive recycling of waste batteries, as well as "lithium extraction from brine", "lithium ore extraction" and "lithium recovery" industrialization technology.

exchange of technical know-how

Representatives of SMM and lithium downstream enterprises had in-depth exchanges with Ganfeng lithium industry on the development status and products of Ganfeng lithium industry.

With regard to the future market of lithium mica and spodumene, Ganfeng lithium industry said that at present, the production of lithium mica raw materials is mainly concentrated in Yichun area, and the quality of lithium carbonate made of lithium mica in the past 17 years has not been widely recognized by the market, but there is a breakthrough in technology, the prospect is also relatively objective, and the cost is very competitive at present, but there are still restrictions on the utilization of lithium mica waste. At present, Ganfeng lithium industry is mainly based on spodumene to extract lithium, the technology has completely become the industry leader, and has superior mineral resources, lithium salt products account for more than 35% of the domestic market share.

Ganfeng lithium industry was the first to produce lithium salt, and its biggest advantages are lithium metal processing and lithium salt processing. Each subsidiary of Ganfeng Lithium Industry has a research and development department, and the company has invested a lot of money in R & D. it has joined forces with more than a dozen companies, including Central South University and Zhejiang Xinshi, to carry out technical research and development for ternary lithium recovery projects, while strengthening environmental protection is also a feature of the project.

Inspection unit license

SMM specially set up an inspection unit licensing link to add a sense of harmonious development and pleasant communication between the inspected enterprises and the inspected enterprises. Ma Qiong, Executive Director of SMM, awarded the license to Ganfeng Lithium Industry on the spot.

Take a group photo as a souvenir

After visiting the factory, representatives of SMM and lithium downstream enterprises took a group photo with Ganfeng Lithium Industry to increase their deeper cooperation and friendship. I believe there will be deeper exchanges and cooperation in the future!

After this visit and research, SMM and representatives of downstream lithium enterprises have a deeper understanding of the products, technology and company development of Ganfeng lithium industry, as well as a deeper understanding of the market situation, development trend and existing problems of the lithium industry, and will continue to deepen cooperation with major enterprises to achieve complementary advantages and jointly promote the development of China's lithium industry.
