Description
This dataset is a market activity dataset, representing a combination of provincial "magnetite concentrate" markets within the Northwest region of China, i.e., the "magnetite concentrate" market group for the Northwest region. Transportation losses, transport vehicles, and transportation infrastructure are not included in this dataset; they are covered in the respective provincial market datasets. The Northwest region of China includes the following provinces: Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, and Xinjiang. Data sources include the China Communications Yearbook, China Energy Statistical Yearbook, China Statistical Yearbook, and customs statistics from the General Administration of Customs.
Activity Description
This dataset is a market activity dataset. Each market represents a consumption mix of products within a specific region, connecting suppliers with consumers of the same product within that region. Markets encompass both producers and importers of the product within the same geographical area. Additionally, markets account for the transportation of products to consumers, as well as losses occurring during the transport process.
Process Description
Magnetite concentrate is the main product of the ore dressing process. The primary component of magnetite concentrate is magnetite (Fe₃O₄). Due to the good magnetic properties of magnetite, the contents of impurities such as silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur in the ore are low, with strict impurity control, making it suitable for iron and steel smelting.
