  • Said Tom Elliott, professor at the University Hospital Birmingham (UHB), the study leader: "The results of the first clinical trials in both Birmingham and South Africa suggest that the use of copper may assist in maintaining hospital surfaces free of bacteria and could augment cleaning programmes. "The findings related to the use of a copper biocide adds further evidence to the potential of this metal for fighting infection," he added.

    Codelco, the Chilean copper producer, is optimistic about medium to long term copper demand prospects, primarily due to Chinese growth. The company also sources its optimism from predictions that the Japanese earthquake will have only a marginal and short term impact on the copper market, before growth resumes. In addition, it was reported that world demand is strong and has a good outlook despite expectations that the market in the developed world will only return to pre-crisis levels.

    Colada Continua Chilena, the Chilean copper wire producer, plans to expand the production capacity of its Continua plant by 40,000t to 115,000t/y through the construction of two new production lines. The company anticipates that the first production line will commence operations by mid-2012, while the second is likely to follow 2-3 years later. Proposals have yet to be evaluated by the environment ministry but suggest that the cost of the project will be US$8M.

    It was reported that China's Amer International expects to complete construction of its new 250,000t/y copper rod production line, located in its Chaohu City facility in Anhui Province, by year-end. The expansion project will bring Amer's production capacity to 500,000t/y and its total copper rod production is anticipated to reach 200,000t in 2011. A spokesperson for the company said that it will manufacture rod for both domestic and foreign export markets. In addition, Amer also intends to source copper cathode for rod-processing from within China and also overseas. Total investment for the project amounted to RMB2.5B.

    Jiangxi Copper has said that it will start-up a new 400,000t/y wirerod and wire plant in H2 2012, after missing its scheduled commissioning month of May due to the onset of the rainy season. The plant, which is based in Zengcheng city, Guangdong province, will be fed by refined copper produced by the company's smelting/refining operations resulting in less Jiangxi Copper cathode available to the domestic market. After startup, the company's semi-finished copper products capacity would double to almost 900,000t/y. Whereas Platt's figures indicate that Jiangxi's cathode production is expected to rise by a smaller value of around 150,000t to reach 1.09Mt in 2012.

    Leyuan Group has started-up 40 copper foil lines with a total annual production capacity of 10,000t. The new plant is located in Tianjin City, Tianjin province and will be supplemented with two further phases of capacity expansions. The second phase lines are expected to be commissioned in June 2012 while the final phase capacity expansions will be operational by June 2013. The plant represents Leyuan Group's only copper foil production facility and the end of the phased capacity expansion project should see the company's maximum production capability amount to 100,000t/y. Leyuan expects to supply the domestic and Southeast Asian markets with copper foil produced from locally sourced copper cathode. Capital investment for the project is expected to amount to RMB1.22B.

    Southwire, the US-based aluminium and copper cablemaker, has said that while the use of copper in most electrical applications is unlikely to change, some manufacturers are likely to move toward the use of aluminium wire. The auto industry is increasingly using aluminium wire for traditional copper applications. This is occurring most predominantly outside of the US, however domestic autos companies have also been using aluminium wire for battery cable and aluminium wire harnesses for lights. Southwire stated that for most electrical applications copper usage will remain dominant because of its overall reliability.

  • Chinese copper inventories stood at 1.9m tonnes at the end of 2010, more than the US consumes in a year, according to estimates by the state-backed China Non-Ferrous Metals Industry Association. The estimate is significantly higher than the 1.0m-1.5m tonnes range that foreign executives have assumed in the past.

    According to Antaike, a metals research group, China's growth in refined copper consumption is set to slow in the coming year. The group forecasts consumption growth of 6.4% in 2012, compared to expected growth of 8.5% this year and 11.5% growth in 2010. This slowdown in consumption is likely to put downward pressure on copper prices, which have recently fallen to the lowest levels this year on eurozone and US debt concerns. Tight credit as well as struggling automotive sales, fewer new-home start-ups and declining railroad investment were quoted as key contributors to slowing refined copper demand.

    According to the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, the nation's refined copper consumption in the first three quarters of this year reached 5.5Mt, up 8% y-o-y. The industry body anticipates that consumption will reach around 7Mt for the whole of 2011. The growth in consumption has been accredited to greater semis production capacity.

shared by Colin Bennett on 29 Aug 14 - No Cached
  • Nexans (NEX.PA), a French company that makes electrical wiring and cables, says that the switch from copper to aluminum is inevitable. Its corporate purchasing director, Christophe Allain, told the CRU Group’s World Copper Conference in April that “the switch will come; the big question is when and what size it will be.” As Nexans told the Financial Times, one reason is that aluminum cables currently cost about 40% less than copper ones – even though more insulation is required for aluminum cabling. For countries in the developing world that are still building out a power grid, that price difference is a huge deal.

  • Our objective is to develop the measurement methodology, standards and analysis necessary for the U.S. auto industry and base metal suppliers to transition to advanced lightweight materials for auto body components without wasteful trial-and-error development cycles, and successfully transfer this technology to our customers in industry. With this knowledge, the U.S. automotive industry will be able to transition to new advanced and lightweight materials more easily, as more accurate data and material models will lead to more accurate die designs, reducing die tryouts and new model development costs.

  • The greatest growth of spending for utilities is expected in sub-Saharan Africa where an annual rate of 10.4% between now and 2025 is forecasted. Spending for electricity production and distribution is expected to rise from $15 billion in 2012 to $55 billion, while expenditures for improvements in water and sanitation services are forecasted to increase from $3.3 billion in 2012 to about $10 billion by 2025. A substantial increase in spending in the basic manufacturing sector is expected in sub-Saharan Africa. Annual spending in the chemical, metals and fuels sector is forecasted to increase across the seven major African economies to $16 billion, up from about $6 billion in 2012.
