Something Has Happened to China's taps

Posted on July 18, 2012 08:18 PM

Something must have happened to China's taps. Every day, more than 4,000 water-treatment plants supply 60 million tonnes of water to 400 million people living in Chinese cities. Despite the impressive figures, the water industry is grappling with widespread criticism as concerns grow about the quality of its product.

The extent of the problem of China’s “dirty taps” remains elusive, however. While almost all academics in the field argue the country's urban water supplies pose a “potential safety hazard”, practically no water-treatment plant rates its own water as below standard. When it comes to the water stone production line flowing into Chinese homes, the situation is looking rather cloudy.

This news was swiftly followed by release of more recent data from China’s health authorities. Wang Xuening, a health ministry official, said that figures gathered by a pilot monitoring scheme in 2011 suggested that 80% of the country’s urban tap water was up to standard.

That still leaves a 20% problem area. But after the news was reported, water bureaus from across the country came out to say the water from their treatment plants was up to scratch – the major cities Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou; the country’s provincial capitals, such as Nanjing, Hangzhou, and Changsha; and finally dozens of 'tier three' cities including Ningbo, Suzhou and Jiaxing staunchly defended the quality of their processed water.

Water experts point out that the severity of urban water pollution has stayed pretty much static in the two years between the 2009 and 2011 surveys; around 50% of sources are polluted. If you want to turn water like that into a tap-worthy product, at the very least you need to pump it through water-treatment plants equipped with the most advanced technology. But Chinese plants have widely failed to upgrade their systems in recent years. mobile jaw crushers:http://www.china-mills.com/p6.html

At the end of 2009, around 98% of the 4,000 water-treatment plants in cities above county level were still using conventional technology, according to a source close to the housing ministry’s urban water-quality monitoring centre. Today, only a handful of water-treatment plants – in major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen – are using cutting-edge methods, a situation that seems unlikely to change soon: “By the time new drinking-water standards are scheduled to come into effect on July 1, 2012, the proportion of water-treatment plants using advanced technology will have only increased by a single percentage point [since the end of 2009],” the source said. This means that, in the two-year gap between the two surveys, the percentage of plants using advanced technology increased at the most from 2% to 3% of the country’s total.

Meanwhile, in the five years since the plans for new standards were made public at the end of 2006, there has been little progress in upgrading water-treatment processes or transforming the country’s outdated network of water pipes. Chief engineer at the housing ministry’s water-quality monitoring unit Song Lanhe said that, in the immediate term, the new standards are only likely to act as a guide, and will be difficult to enforce. Local governments will continue to claim that their water quality “meets standards”.

Mining Equipment Developmental Tendency in China

Posted on July 07, 2012 02:57 AM

Applied in deep-processing and constructive exploration area, the mining equipments have continuously provided quantities of infrastructure industry products and energy for all walks of life, which has greatly promoted the rapid development of our national economy. For all above these, the mining equipment such as ore beneficiation manufacturing has played as the basement of our country’s independent industrial system, which has also become a key signal to the balance of one country’s industrial strength.

Mining machinery trend is ecological, digital, intelligent three areas, the so-called intelligence has been reflected in the following areas:

1. Automated underground mining of mineral resources. Advances in information technology, to promote intelligent unmanned mining techniques to mining and other high-technology features integrated into the main development of unmanned mine. No underground mining coal mining to achieve automated face.

2. Seabed mineral resources, remote and unmanned exploration. Oceans occupy 71% of the earth’s surface, while the ocean is the ocean floor is rich in mineral resources, exploitation of seabed resources away from control and unmanned machinery to allow the operator to operate immersive, dynamic real-time to complete the job .

3. Mining machinery automatic detection and diagnosis.

Mining machinery industry’s technological base is not strong, reform and opening up, the field of mining machinery in the market for technology has been improved level of product technology as the main way. Throughout the world of mechanical design development process, mainly to the single product single product design process design process design to the equipment evolution. China mining machinery manufacturing generally completed only stand-alone product design and manufacturing equipment used in the design process by a professional institute to do, stand-alone products, technology requirements are made by a professional institute and to help complete the factory, which resulted in equipment manufacturers and equipment between departments out of touch. Therefore, mining machinery manufacturing industry in the current process of design is relatively weak business case, in addition to good conditions in their own areas of expertise into the role of organizational strength as soon as possible, should be taken with foreign companies and professional design institutes to establish different forms of joint . screw classifiers:http://www.hxjqchina.com/product-list_37.html

Machinery use over time there will be some problems, problems with traditional mechanical testing of human need and repair, thereby increasing the consumption of human and financial resources. With advances in technology, intelligent self-aware state of the mechanical structure and the external environment, and timely decisions and respond to, the future development of mining machinery in one direction.

1.Infrastructure development opportunities for the mining machinery: mining machinery applications and infrastructure are closely related, the future will have a huge market. In local government investment plans, the focus is still the railways, highways, power plants, real estate and other infrastructure projects, which are related to the mining machinery industry in China are closely linked. This gives China mining machinery industry with the development of new opportunities, but also put forward higher requirements of sand washing machine, mining machinery industry needs to speed up technological innovation.

2. Low-tech, impeding the pace of development of the industry: mining machinery in China in general and to lag behind the international advanced level compared to 15 to 20 years, the majority of crusher products as sources of technology since the mid-1980s from abroad. Domestic market share of mining machinery products in the market less than 80% in the crusher manufacturers of imported products are mostly large, fine, sharp and very strong product sets, such as coal mining, large-scale and efficient separation equipment, crushers and grinding equipment, full-face boring machine and other products combined.

China Iron Ore Production Market is Bright

Posted on July 07, 2012 02:57 AM

Iron ore is any rock that contains a usable quantity of iron. Common iron ore minerals include hematite, magnetite, limonite, and siderite. These are frequently found together with assorted silicates. Although iron does not occur in its pure form in nature, some kinds of iron ore contain up to 70% iron atoms. Iron ore consists of oxygen and iron atoms bonded together into molecules. To create pure iron, one must deoxygenate the ore, leaving only iron atoms behind. That is the essence of the refining process.

To create an even purer form of iron, known as pig iron, limestone must be added to the mix and the heat increased. This is done contemporarily in the silo-like structure known as a blast furnace. The calcium in limestone bonds with the silicates in the ore, creating a material called slag, which floats on top of the pure liquid iron. The iron is periodically drained into a mold from a port at the bottom of the blast furnace, where it cools. The pig iron can then be converted into wrought iron by mixing it with silicon, or processed further to create steel.

Iron ore impact crusher production of steel as one of the most important raw material, its development for the development of steel has a very big impact, but can also promote the development of steel iron ore mine development. China is the largest producer of steel, but also iron ore consumer. With the rapid economic development, China’s demand for iron ore increased substantially.

Shanghai, Tianjin and Beijing and other cities in export-oriented steel consumption has reached the level of South Korea and other developed countries, but the real appeal is that the needs of China’s inland provinces and cities just beginning to rise. Currently, the central and western China’s per capita steel consumption in coastal areas even less than half. Chinese government to narrow the wealth gap, increasing the infrastructure of the western investment, this policy will also boost demand for steel. China will continue to drive the next period of global iron ore demand, it is to open up the west ore market. stone jaw crusher:http://www.hxjqchina.com/product-list_11.html
magnetic separator:http://www.hxjqchina.com/product-list_66.html

Industry estimates, in eastern China’s steel output will peak in 2015, but the central and western regions will continue to grow. The next few years will continue to tight global iron ore supply. Based on national policy to promote, while China’s east coast closer to the peak business, the world’s biggest iron ore producers are seeking to enter China’s underdeveloped western regions, looking for its future growth potential. Xinjiang, western China’s industrialization and urbanization, the demand for steel will increase substantially, the Chinese demand for iron ore imports remain high, and constantly open up the region’s iron ore market.

Now the country’s development, rely on the technology continues to rise, so that not only saves resources, make full use of resources, but also energy saving, more rapid development. The current state of the majority of the market for iron ore and other mineral resources, needs, and gradually promote the crusher and other mining machinery industry, which not only has to open up the market, the technical requirements but also be promoted. This can lead mining crushers and other mining machinery industry forever at the forefront of sustainable development and better.

A Book about Green China in the Future

Posted on July 02, 2012 10:40 PM

A newest book in searching green China is published. It is a landmark for building green future in China.

The book, Green China: Chinese Insights on Environment and Development which is published by IIED with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and edited by James Keeley and Zheng Yisheng – is a collection of translated articles from the China Environment and Development Review. As such, it presents an interesting picture of sand maker not only of the environmental issues facing China, but also (so goes the premise of the book) of how these are discussed within the country itself.

The articles are divided into five categories, making up the five sections of the book: the first introduces the volume and outlines China’s main environmental challenges; the second describes case studies demonstrating approaches to conservation; the third deals with institutions and policies; the fourth considers a number of theoretical issues, and the fifth consists of a single chapter on the development of Chinese environmental NGOs.

A number of important topics are covered, including the fundamental role of institutions and administrative processes in the response to environmental crises, and the question of how to measure the impact of environmental damage on economic development. Another frequent theme is the effect of previous environmental policies, and how poorly planned or executed initiatives have shown themselves counterproductive, at times catastrophically so.

The more descriptive and detailed case studies of conservation from different regions in China are also interesting, and help to illustrate the sheer range of environments under threat. For the most part, the discussion takes place squarely in the context of China’s social and political demand for continued economic development, and it does tend to focus almost exclusively on China itself despite the global nature of the issues covered.

Broadly speaking the book is very accessible, and the English text is clear and consistent. Each chapter is self-contained, and can easily be read on its own without reference to the others. The collected articles do not perhaps provide a balanced or comprehensive overview of the current environmental debate in China, and some topics, such as green GDP accounting, are arguably overrepresented. The chapters also differ in the amount of data and analysis they present, and many of them limit themselves to general description and the statement of arguments, though most remain convincing. screw classifier:http://www.hxjqchina.com/product-list_37.html
sand washing equipment:http://www.china-mills.com/p9.html

In describing the challenges faced by China, several crucially important points are made, one of which is the importance of institutional and legal structures as well as administrative processes in tackling environmental problems. In their chapter on environmental law, Wang Jin and Wang Mingyuan illustrate how China’s legal system has failed due to a consistent preoccupation with economic development in the framing of laws, and a lack of clarity and accountability in implementation and enforcement.

Similarly, Shen Keting’s chapter on relations between central and local government shows how incentives at every level, from taxation structure to performance assessment for civil servants, constantly pushes local government to pursue economic growth over environmental concerns, even to the point of defying central government regulations.

These and other chapters reveal the systemic nature of China’s environmental governance problems, and demonstrate the need for coordinating environmental regulation and integrating it with other legal and administrative priorities. This analysis of the inherent flaws in the system that lead to environmentally detrimental decision-making helps to provide a nuanced view of the problems – one that avoids the pitfall of simplistically and unconstructively shifting the blame onto individual or corporate self-interest.

Confusions of China's Carbon Market

Posted on June 20, 2012 11:28 PM

Carbon markets trade in a virtual product, created by policy alone. And so policy stability is essential. The outlook for climate change talks is bleak; the EU and American economies are in the doldrums; and economic targets are taking precedence over climate goals. There is no question that China’s ability to provide a stable demand for emission cuts will be crucial to getting its carbon markets up and running.

The World Bank estimates that carbon trading globally could be worth US$3.5 trillion by 2020, meaning it would overtake oil to become the world’s largest market. Spurred by this rosy outlook, China had 100 carbon exchanges in operation or under preparation by late 2011. Most were quickly taken over by speculators, however, while genuine carbon trading remained rare. None of the three main exchanges saw a single real carbon trade in its first year of operation.

On 29 October last year, the National Reform and Development Commission (NRDC), China’s top economic planner, announced that carbon trading trials would run in seven of the country’s most important cities and provinces: Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, Guangdong, Hubei and Shenzhen. Each of these locations already has its own carbon emissions exchange. (Compared with the existing exchanges, these trial platforms will enjoy policy-created-demand and guaranteed customers, and so in theory be free from worry about their sales performance.)

But as part of a clampdown on dubious jaw crusher trading practices, on November 11 last year the State Council – China’s highest administrative organ – tightened regulations on all of the country's exchanges, from equity exchanges and commodities exchanges to those trading 'cultural artwork'. The rules, which were intended to reduce financial risk, included a ban on trading in shares of assets (except from stocks and permitted financial products) which effectively blacklisted the core business of carbon markets. screw classifier:http://www.hx-crushers.com/p60.html
impact crusher:http://www.hxjqchina.com/product-list_12.html

The two almost parallel announcements highlight the government’s lack of coordination on carbon-markets policy. As there is no physical commodity, carbon emission allowances are always traded as shares. The State Council proclamation was in clear conflict with the fortnight-old NDRC document. But, in February, state news agency Xinhua reported in a local news that “The Shanghai United Assets and Equity Exchange has been designated by the NDRC as an environment and energy trading platform,” indicating that the threat posed by the policy restrictions of the State Council document had been overcome.

But those licensing issues are nothing compared to the real problem facing carbon markets: how to make tradable emissions permits appropriately scarce. The 2007 crash in the EU-ETS market was caused by a glut of allocated emission rights, far exceeding demand. There was next to no scarcity.

China Energy Consumption Overview

Posted on June 03, 2012 09:41 PM

Among its many environmental challenges, China faces an enormous increase in energy consumption by buildings over the coming decades. Bricks and mortar already account for 25% of China’s total primary jaw crusher energy consumption, but are currently consuming energy at a very low level compared to developed countries. In fact, Chinese urban buildings consume three times less energy per unit of floor area, and 10 times less energy per person than those in the United States.

By examining the historical trajectory of building energy consumption in developed countries like the United States and Japan, we can find clues to what lies ahead for China. As per capita GDP rises, building energy usage intensity (EUI) – a measurement of the amount of energy used per unit of floor area – also increases.

China’s EUI is currently the same as Japan’s was in the 1960s and America’s in the 1950s. Since then, advances in heating and cooling technology have transformed how buildings are designed and operated. Along with the changes in lifestyles and consumption habits that have come with rising incomes, this transformation has led both the United States and Japan to double their building EUI. Unless this shift in design mode can be slowed or prevented, China can be expected to see a similar surge.

Most western architects and engineers are surprised that China’s buildings consume such a small amount of energy. In general, Chinese buildings have less insulation, leakier skin and windows and less advanced and efficient heating and cooling technology than their counterparts in developed countries. But they still manage to consume much less energy. Why? The explanation for this paradox lies in two interrelated factors: lifestyle and system design. Understanding how the combination of these factors drives increased energy consumption is critical to preventing a future boom in the amount of energy used by Chinese buildings. cement production line:http://www.china-mills.com/p37.html
vibrating grizzly feeder:http://www.hx-crusher.com/vibrating_feeder.html

In China, energy-consuming appliances – most importantly clothing dryers – are less widely used and Chinese occupants are more willing to accept larger ranges of temperature in their indoor environment. Utility bills also make up a greater proportion of disposable income, which encourages people to save money by saving energy.

But differences of habit and income don’t alone explain the large gap between the energy usage of Chinese and western buildings. The culture of low energy consumption is also influenced by design of heating and cooling systems, as well as architectural form. Professor Jiang Yi at Tsinghua University describes China’s standard heating and cooling system as “part-time part-space”, while the US most commonly uses a “full-time full-space” method.

Advances in Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system technology in developed countries have made possible the rise of fully enclosed glass structures, in which one very large system provides all the services for the building in nearly continuous operation. A standard Chinese building, on the other hand, uses operable windows and decentralised systems, where each room has its own air-conditioning unit or heater. In “part-time part-space” operation, building occupants actively control the temperature in individual rooms, while in “full-time full-space” operation, the system generally has automatic controls based on a set schedule.

China Coking Coal Import Sees Mass Increase

Posted on May 14, 2012 10:40 PM

China's import of coking coal, a key steel-making ingredient, is seen to rise 10 percent to reach around 50 million tonnes this year, with most of the rebound seen coming through in the fourth-quarter, two major Chinese players said on Wednesday.

Despite a double-digit percentage gain, the increase of around five million tonnes in terms of volume is seen as lacklustre compared with global coking coal export supplies of 240 million tonnes last year.

'We see 2012 imports at around 50 million tonnes and prices could be pressured because China will be receiving a lot of supply options from every exporter in the world,' Sun Xuefeng, manager at Sinosteel Raw Materials, told the Coaltrans conference in Beijing.

China is the world's largest coking coal producer and imports only around 10 percent of annual consumption.

China is poised to accelerate coal imports to take advantage of the cheapest international prices in 20 months relative to domestic supplies.The CHART OF THE DAY shows the price difference in southern China for thermal coal delivered from the northern Chinese port of Qinhuangdao compared with shipments from Newcastle, Australia. The gap expanded last month to as much as $8.30 per metric ton, the widest since August 2010, according to data from CLSA Ltd. Also tracked are China's monthly coal imports, which typically climbed as the price spread expanded.

'China's coal imports will probably increase due to the wide premium' of Qinhuangdao over Newcastle prices, said Helen Lau, a Hong Kong-based analyst at UOB-Kay Hian Ltd. 'The price gap could narrow with Newcastle prices rebounding on higher demand from China.' Newcastle is the world's biggest coal harbor. Sand maker:http://www.hxjqchina.com/product-list_57.html

Chinese demand helped a recovery in the regional seaborne coal market in 2009, when the world's biggest consumer of the fuel became a net importer for the first time as Chinese buyers snapped up cheap overseas supplies.

Rising imports this quarter may keep the price of Newcastle coal with a heating value of 6,700 kilocalories per kilogram, a benchmark grade for Asia, at an average of $112 a ton, Lau said. The price was at $101.55 on April 20, IHS McCloskey data compiled by Bloomberg show.The Chinese government seeks to encourage coal imports and cap annual domestic production at 3.9 billion tons by 2015 to curb pollution, according to a five-year plan released by the National Energy Administration in March. China's growing demand for mining machines impact crusher included electricity has been supporting domestic prices of the fuel.

China's coal imports rose for a second straight month in March, to 17.1 million tons, according to customs data published yesterday. Imports rose 10 percent from a year earlier to a record 183 million tons in 2011, according to Bloomberg calculations from customs data. China gets about 70 percent of its energy by burning coal in power stations.

April inflation Indicates Stable Economy in China

Posted on May 14, 2012 10:27 PM

New evidence that the Chinese economy has bottomed out and is now stabilizing is likely to be seen in a raft of data due out on Friday, with inflation falling and output strengthening, a Reuters survey showed.

Analysts polled by Reuters expect annual consumer price inflation to have moderated to 3.3 percent, from 3.6 percent in March, remaining well below the government's 4 percent target. Month-on-month, prices are expected to have dropped by 0.5 percent after March's 0.3 percent fall.

Rising inflation last year had prompted Chinese policymakers to sharply reduce credit supply, especially to private borrowers, throwing the real estate sector into disarray and cooling economic growth.

The government has eased economic policies since in a program of 'fine-tuning' which has seen it cut 100 basis points from the required reserve ratios of banks to support credit growth since autumn, while cutting business red tape and taxes.

'We think April data would show that economic activity is rebounding modestly, but may not be sufficient to clear all the doubts,' analysts at UBS said in a note to clients.Producer prices are likely to have fallen by 0.5 percent on year in April, the Reuters poll showed. That would be more than the 0.3 percent drop in producer prices for March, as a slow real estate sector reduced the demand for raw materials.

International crude oil prices sank in April compared with March this year, and April's prices were also lower than a year before.However, Chinese gasoline and diesel prices have been at historical highs since mid-March. Power prices are also at record highs as China raises state-set prices to gradually bring them in line with generation costs, although residential prices are adjusted slowly to minimize the impact on inflation. vibrating screen:http://www.hxjq-crusher.com/40.html

rotary kiln:http://www.hxjq-crusher.com/23.html

An earlier purchasing managers survey indicated that input prices are rising, but increased buying by factories primarily reflects restocking, with domestic demand for mining machinery such as sand maker and raymond mill still tepid.

Overall, the PMI surveys also pointed to an uptick in the economy after a trough in the first quarter. But both the official PMI and an independent survey published by HSBC showed a continuing discrepancy between growth enjoyed by larger firms and the difficulties of smaller firms struggling to get credit.

Continued difficulty in getting loans may have contributed to a softening in fixed asset investment, which analysts expected to have slowed to 20.5 percent growth on year in April, down from 20.9 percent in March.

Fixed asset investment has underpinned the economy as export growth has wilted, though government action to crimp the speculative real estate bubble it has fuelled is beginning to bite.

Retail sales, also due on Friday, are expected to be steady year-on-year from March's 15.2 percent level. Economists point to urban and rural per capita incomes rising faster than GDP so far this year as offering key support to consumption growth as inflation eases.
