1. Highly dependent on resources: Severely reliant on the stable supply of upstream mineral resources, and prices are greatly influenced by fluctuations in the global commodity market.
2. High capital intensity: Initial investment is huge, production equipment is expensive, and the proportion of fixed assets is high.
3. Extremely high energy consumption: The core processes such as electrolysis and smelting are energy-intensive operations, and energy costs account for a significant proportion of the total cost.
4. Process-based production: It adopts a continuous assembly line production method, with complex processes and exposure to high-temperature and high-pressure environments.
5. Heavy environmental pressure: During the production process, emissions of waste gas, wastewater and waste residue are generated, and there is a need to comply with strict environmental regulations and face the pressure of reducing emissions.
6. Significant scale effect: The enterprise effectively reduces the high fixed costs and energy costs by expanding its production scale.
