Yunnan Copper Industry Development Strategy

Based on the yield and consumption of copper in the world, the consume demand of copper was analyzed in China. In this paper, the resource, industry distribution and production is introduced and analyzed about copper in Yunnan province. The industrial development of copper in Yunnan province get behind in home and abroad. The development stratagem of Yunnan copper industry was brought out.Material and products of copper were applied to electric industry, electron industry, light industry, machine manufacture industry and traffic industry, and so on. At present, the main consumption of copper is electric industry, occupying 42% of total copper consumption. The rise rate of electron industry is quickest, occupying 10%. The total consumption of copper is 1800 tones in the world in 2006. It is estimated that the total consumption of copper is 2200 tones in the world in 2010.The most resources of copper coming from Chile, USA, Peru, Indonesia, Zambia, China, Russia, Mexico, Canada and Australia, and so on. Copper mines are opencast worked mostly by equipments of mining and dressing process which are big, high-cycle efficiency and high-level automation in abroad. The techniques of copper are advance, for example, the leaching process of copper mine is low invest and operating costs which produce dispose electrodeposited copper from low-grade ore and gangue. The advance processes and equipments of smelt copper are flash smelting process and Isa furnace process mostly. Main copper machines are high-precision, high-benefit and automation. The preponderance and characteristic of abroad copper industries is big project, advance technique and low-production costs.With the quickly development of economy recent years in China, the demand of copper materials is speedy ascended. Copper industries are developed. However, there are small reserves, low-grade ore and exploitation condition scurviness of copper resources in China. Scale of copper product enterprises is small and low-level equipment especially mines. Copper smelting factories are less than 60% total with world advantage technique. Copper machining factories are less than 30% total with world technique advantage technique. This status restricted severity competition ability of Chinese copper industry in international market.There is abundance nonferrous metals in Yunnan province, more than ten sort including copper, lead, zinc, tin etc.al. Therefore, Yunnan province is named "nonferrous metals kingdom". Whereas there is less scale factories, lower-level process and equipment, more illogicality products structure and less techno-innovation in Yunnan copper enterprise than in developed area and abroad.Aiming at problems of Yunnan copper industry, it is discussed that author thought about integrated manage experience and technical ideas of copper factory. It was put forward about strategy idea of Yunnan copper industry. Firstly, dominance copper resources will send to dominance factories. In order to increase capacity of raw self-supplying and build a big copper resource province, More resource reserves will be prospected and mine exploitation. Secondly, based on Yunnan copper group, cathodes is notability Chinese product which double output plan will put in practice and accelerate economical development. Thirdly, advance techniques will be fetched in and innovated. Old processes and equipments must be fell into disuse in order to renovate integer technique and equipments. Rich oxygen top blown smelt process will be prevalence, for example Isa furnace process. Fourthly, product configuration will be adjusted. Copper products will be extended. Fifthly, intensifying the economization and lessen let, developing cycle economic, reusing waste in order to build green industry. Sixthly, optimizing system, abroad capital and manage experiences will be fetched in our enterprise realizing internationalization management. Lastly, intensifying the policy support, actualizing multi-channel raising fund and people oriented, Yunnan copper industry will be built an industry flattop.
