Jinlong Copper Co, Ltd, a Sino-Japan joint venture, which was approved by Ministry of China National Foreign Trade and Economic Bureau. Jinlong Copper Co., Ltd is located in the Chinese Ancient Famous Copper Capital ---Tongling city, to its east is the Tongling city and the west the Changjiang River. It enjoys transportation convenient, with the trunk railway connecting with the Tong-Wu highway, and the direct sea lines can call all the near coastal cities, with the berth capacity of 5000tons in its private port.
Jinlong was established in 1992 and started construction on July 1, 1993; then in November, 1995 Jinlong project was listed by the State Council as a key project of Eighth five-year Plan; On December 28,1996, the Flash Furnace was preheated, and the trial start-up with copper concentrates feeding was done on April 8,1997. On November 8,1997 it began to start normal production. Nanchang Non-ferrous Metallurgy Design Company was the designer of Jinlong Project, China No.15 Metallurgy Construction Company and the construction company of Tongling Non-ferrous Metal (Group) INC as the builder, and the project supervisor was Beijing Xincheng Supervisal Company. Jinlong Copper Co, Ltd was the first smelter in China that was designed and built only by domestic force.
The total investment of the project was about RMB2.25 billion, and with the registered capital eight million twenty thousand and three hundred RMB.
The annual output of high-grade cathode is 150,000tons, and sulphuric acid was 500,000tons, as well some by-products like gold and silver,etc.
Now, the total employees are less than 500, and a half of them got the junior college diploma. And the employees who are on the key technical posts have been sent to the first-class copper smelters for further study or got trained, so the working efficiency in Jinlong is on the top level in China.
The most advanced smelting technology—Flash Smelting is introduced to Jinlong project. To the smelting process, the flash furnace adopts oxygen-enriched air, and three PS converter furnaces and two rotary anode furnaces are equipped to produce large anode plate for traditional electro-refining process. To the acid plant process, insulation thermal evaporating & diluted sulfuric acid scrubbing system and two stages converting and absorbing process are employed. General technology in Jinlong reached the 90’s world advanced level, operation for major process is monitored and executed through on- line computer system. Sulfuric recovery rate are more than 98%.
Jinlong Copper Co, Ltd is a customer smelter based on the international market with copper concentrates imported from oversea’s market and its main products are mostly exported, like cathode was sold mainly by long-term contracts, also with few spot sales.
With the help of the Tongling Non-ferrous Metal (Group) INC and the local existing condition, we have adopted the specialization and cooperation for some auxiliary jobs like equipment maintenance, transportation, water and electricity power supplied, etc.
Our company’s operating mechanism is that president is responsible for the whole management of the company under the leader of board meeting and major decisions are made by board meeting and executed by president.
In July of 1998, we obtained the ISO9002 awarded by SGS located in Hongkong in December, 2000, we obtained the Metrological Authentication Certificate of the PRC; and in December ,2001, we got the certificate of ISO14001 of China Import & Export Quality Centre.
