SUBSTANCE FLOW ANALYSIS OF COBALT IN CHINA
The method of Substance Flow Analysis (abbreviated as SFA) provides a helpful tool for the study of the industrial metabolism of a certain metal within a regional level, such as cooper, lead etc. Cobalt is one of the important strategic commodities of national economic development in China, the resource utilization and recycling of which are important for the sustainable development of Chinas economic construction. In this paper the flows and inventory of cobalt in China, 2008, were traced with the STAF model, and the situations of production, fabrication and manufacturing,use and waste management in China were introduced. The result revealed that the resource of cobalt in China was so poor that a large amount of cobalt material or cobalt products needed to be imported, and there was lack of recycling about cobalt resources. According to the studies, the ore index and resource efficiency of China’s cobalt industry were 0.709t/t and 1.410t/t respectively.
