The supply and demand of metal Bismuth and applications

Bismuth Metal is a silver-white or pink metal, with the special physical properties of cold and condensing when solidified, stable chemical properties, its telluride and selenide have semiconductor properties,Bismuth metal have non-carcinogenic and non-toxic. China is rich in resources, reserves accounted for about two-thirds of the world, ranking first in the world, is China's dominant mineral. The world's Bismuth reserves are mainly distributed in China, Vietnam, Bolivia, Canada, Mexico and other countries and regions. China's Bismuth resources are mainly distributed in 13 provinces and cities, of which the largest reserves are In Hunan, Guangdong and Jiangxi, the three provinces account for about 85% of the national reserves, followed by Inner Mongolia, Yunnan, Fujian, Guangxi and Gansu provinces.China's Bismuth reserves are highly concentrated in Hunan Province, Chenzhou City proved to have 350,000 tons of Bismuth ore, accounting for 98% of the province, ranking first in the country, China is the world's largest exporter of Bismuth.

Chinese Bismuth is mainly used in traditional fields, of which 41% of consumption in the production of Bismuth Oxide, mainly used in chemical reagents, Bismuth salt manufacturing, glass ceramic coloring, inorganic synthesis. About 28% Bi2O3 are used in the pharmaceutical industry, 21% Bi2O3 are consumed in Bismuth alloys and solders, 8% Bi2O3 are consumed in metallurgical additions, and a small amount of Bismuth in steel, iron, copper and aluminum can significantly improve the processing performance of the material. In contrast, Bismuth in the United States is mainly used in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries 67%, low melting point alloy 8%, as well as metallurgical additives and other areas 25%, Bismuth chemicals, widely used in semiconductors, superconductors, flame retardants, catalysts, pigments, cosmetics, chemical reagents, electroplating, batteries and so on. Gradually there are replacements of lead, palladium, cadmium and other toxic elements.
