China has a leading position in global gallium and germanium reserves and production.
According to the data, the world's proven reserves of gallium metal are only 27930,000 tons, China has 190,000 tons, accounting for about 68%. Kazakhstan, Hungary, Germany, Ukraine and other countries have stopped gallium production. According to the data of the United States Geological Survey, as of 2021, China's gallium production has accounted for 90%.
According to the 2016 statistics of the United States Geological Survey, the world's proven reserves of germanium are only 8,600 metal tons, mainly distributed in the United States, China and Russia. Among them, the United States accounts for 45% of the world's reserves, and China accounts for 41% of the world's reserves. According to the European Trade Association Critical Raw Materials Alliance (CRMA), China has produced and exported more than 60% of the world's germanium.
In addition to China, other major producers of both materials include: Canada, Finland, Russia, Japan and South Korea.
How much is germanium scrap ** per kilogram.
When determining germanium scrap***, its content needs to be tested first. The content of germanium in germanium waste will directly affect its value. In general, the higher the germanium content in germanium waste, the higher the **. Therefore, in the process, the Chamber of Commerce determines the amount of germanium in the germanium waste
Assuming that the germanium content in germanium waste is 80%, then in today's market, the proportion of germanium waste is about 5,000 yuan a kilogram. Of course, the specific *** also needs to be adjusted according to the market**. Therefore, when doing germanium scrap, it is necessary to pay attention to the market in order to get a higher one
