The supply end of nickel sulfate raw material is mainly nickel-containing waste, nickel wet intermediate and nickel bean / powder. due to the long-standing shortage of domestic nickel waste market, there is a certain demand for foreign waste import in the nickel sulfate market. The new solid waste law landed, the amount of imported nickel waste is reduced, which is expected to have a certain impact on the supply end of nickel sulfate raw material.
