The global supply-demand pattern for antimony-containing materials is changing as China’s mine production declines and global demand for antimony-containing materials increases in new energy sectors. An analysis of the global antimony raw materials trade pattern can help countries build their own resilient supply chains of antimony raw materials. Using material flow and complex network analysis methods, this study quantitatively depicts the global trade pattern of four types of antimony raw materials(antimony ore, antimony metal, primary processed materials of antimony, and secondary antimony) from 2002 to 2020. Additionally, the evolutionary characteristics of the global antimony raw materials trade pattern and national status are analyzed.Primary processed materials containing antimony were found to be the most important type of commodity, with trade volumes accounting for more than half of the global trade volumes of antimony raw materials. China and the United States were found to be the two countries with the most comprehensive trade status, while India, the EU,and South Korea were the countries(regions) with the fastest rise in comprehensive trade status. The EU’s import sources of antimony showed an obvious diversification trend, which significantly reduced its import dependence on China, indicating that the EU’s import strategy of critical raw materials has achieved remarkable results in recent years. China’s absolute dominance in the global supply of antimony raw materials is declining with the development of a more diversified pattern of global antimony raw materials trade.
In this paper, a research framework was formulated to analyze the complete life cycle of aluminum by using material flow analysis(MFA), which applied the ‘top to bottom’ approach to track the flow, stock, and secondary supply of aluminum in China from 1949 to 2021. The results revealed the following: 1) The inflow of aluminum from bauxite in China was 586 Mt(million tons) from 1949 to 2021, with the domestic production and import accounting for approximately half of this number, while the actual consumption was 374 Mt. The loss of aluminum during the life cycle was severe, and the volume of resources lost reached 239 Mt. 2) In 2021, the per capita aluminum social stock was 208.9 kg, which is consistent with that of North America and Japan in the same period of economic development. 3) From 1990 to 2021, the cumulative supply of secondary aluminum in China reached 77 Mt, of which 76.7% was produced in China. As aluminum-containing products reach their life and the future demand for these products continues to rise, the era in which aluminum-containing products being scrapped will gradually usher in. Therefore, it is suggested that the loss of aluminum be reduced at every stage from the perspective of its complete life cycle. Creating a rational layout of the recycled aluminum industry,improving the utilization of secondary aluminum, optimizing the aluminum supply structure, and promoting the low-carbon transformation of the aluminum industry will help achieve the ambitious ‘carbon neutral’ and ‘carbon peak’ targets.
With the rapid development of the new energy industry, the global lithium carbonate trade volume has gradually increased, but lithium exports are concentrated in a few countries, which means that certain risks exist in the global lithium carbonate supply. To deeply understand the evolution of the global lithium carbonate trade pattern and the transmission path of its supply crisis, we constructed a global lithium carbonate trade network and cascading failure model from 2000 to 2021, outlined the trade flow of major exporters and the evolution of their trade patterns, and simulated the avalanche scale, propagation path, and impact of different supply crisis sources.We found that:(1) The global lithium carbonate trade concentration has gradually increased over the past 20 years,the top three exporting countries have remained stable, the top importing countries have substantially changed,and the trade pattern has shifted from South America supplying the world to South America supplying East Asia.(2) The impact of the lithium carbonate trade supply crisis has gradually expanded, which has gradually become dominated by indirect transmission.(3) The impact of the supply crisis in Chile has gradually expanded to China,Japan, and South Korea, but it has had the strongest impact on Europe. Avalanche frequency in Argentina and China is increasing, as are their transmission times, while the opposite has been occurring in the United States of America. We combined the evolution of the trade pattern with the spread of the crisis and clarified the degree of influence and transmission path of the main global lithium carbonate trading countries: Chile, Argentina, China,Germany, etc., as the sources of the supply crisis. The above results can be applied to help maintain the stability of global lithium carbonate trade and help major trading countries to adopt corresponding measures to alleviate the supply crisis.
