The production process of electrolytic zinc is continuously optimized, and the industry has huge development potential.

Zinc is one of the non-ferrous metals. It has the advantages of wear resistance, corrosion resistance, castability and other advantages. It can be widely used in metallurgy, machinery, household appliances, ships, construction and other fields. Electrolytic zinc is a chemical reaction that extracts pure zinc through electrolysis. Its raw materials include zinc sulfate solution, zinc chloride solution, sodium zincate solution, etc.

my country’s zinc ore resources are relatively concentrated, mainly distributed in Inner Mongolia, Guangdong, Yunnan, Gansu and Sichuan. The above areas account for nearly 65.0% of my country’s total zinc resource reserves. Although my country is rich in mineral resources, the grade of zinc ore is low and the difficulty of mining has led to a long-term downward trend in zinc production, which will not gradually pick up until 2021. Electrolytic zinc is an important raw material for metallic zinc. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, my country’s electrolytic zinc output will reach 4.593 million tons in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 2.1%. As electrolytic zinc production continues to increase, it is expected that the decline in my country’s metallic zinc production will be alleviated in the future.

There are many methods of electrolytic zinc production, including zinc sulfide ore suspension electrolysis, zinc ash production electrolytic zinc production process and sub-zinc oxide electrolysis. Zinc Ash Production The electrolytic zinc production process requires four processes: leaching, purification, electrolysis and melting and casting. However, a large amount of waste water, waste gas and solid waste will be produced during the production process, causing pollution to the environment. With the continuous breakthroughs in R&D technology, the electrolytic zinc production process for zinc ash production has been widely used in our country by implementing relevant environmental protection treatment measures during the production process.

The “2022-2027 Electrolytic Zinc Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report released by the Industrial Research Center shows that electrolytic zinc mainly Used in medical, rubber, battery, automobile manufacturing and other fields. In recent years, benefiting from the rapid economic development and the continuous increase in national disposable income, the prosperity of my country’s automobile industry has continued to grow. According to statistics from the Ministry of Public Security, the number of motor vehicles in my country will reach 400 million in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 6.3%. The strong demand for downstream applications has driven the continuous expansion of the electrolytic zinc market space. In 2021, my country’s electrolytic zinc market size will reach 126.75 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.6%.

As an industrial raw material, electrolytic zinc has developed rapidly driven by demand, and the country has introduced many policies to support this. In 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Natural Resources jointly released the “14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Raw Materials Industry”, which clearly proposed to promote substantial progress in low-carbon manufacturing of the raw materials industry.

Industry analysts said that as an important raw material for metallic zinc production, the electrolytic zinc production process has gradually matured, and energy conservation and environmental protection have become the development advantages of the industry. At present, the application of electrolytic zinc involves many fields such as medical care, rubber, and batteries. As market demand continues to grow, the scale of my country’s electrolytic zinc market will further expand. With the support of national policies, the development of my country’s electrolytic zinc industry will continue to improve in the future.
