2005年硫酸市场形势不容乐观

2005年上半年全国磷肥产量（以P205计）5440 kt,同比增长9.1%;硫酸产量22 099 kt,同比增长18.4%,其中硫磺制酸9 204 kt、同比增长26.6%,硫铁矿制酸7 939 kt、同比增长13.8%,冶炼烟气制酸4 682 kt、同比增长13.7%;进口硫磺4 123 kt,同比增长29.0%.由于新增能力过大、部分磷复肥企业降低产量、有色冶金企业大幅降低硫酸价格,硫酸市场逐步呈现供大于求的态势,下半年形势不容乐观.

China's sulphuric acid market in 2005 is not optimistic

China's phosphate fertilizer output ( as P2 O5) is 5 440 kt for the first half of 2005, an increase of 9. 1% over the same period of last year and the output of sulphuric acid is increased by 18. 4% to 22099 kt. The sulphuric acid output from sulphur is increased by 26. 6% to 9 204 kt, from pyrite is increased by 13. 8% to 7 939 kt, and from smelter off-gas is increased by 13. 7% to 4 682 kt. Sulphur import is increased by 29. 0% to 4 123 kt. Because too much of production capability is installed, some phosphate fertilizer plants reduce their output and smelters largely lower their sulphuric acid price, the oversupply of sulphuric acid market is emerging and the situation for the second half is not optimistic.
