HOUSTON, Kaum Ob Hlis 4th (Argus) - Tetra Technologies, headquartered hauv Texas, tab tom tshawb nrhiav kev rho tawm cov hlau magnesium los ntawm nws cov bromine cog hauv Arkansas los pab txhawb cov khoom siv hauv tsev ntawm cov pob zeb tseem ceeb no siv hauv kev lag luam, aerospace, thiab kev siv tiv thaiv. Tetra tau kos npe rau daim ntawv cog lus nrog Magrathea Metals, lub tuam txhab nyob hauv California, thiab muaj peev xwm tsim kom muaj kev sib koom ua lag luam txhawm rau siv Magrathea's electrolysis technology rau magnesium extraction.
Qhov kev sib koom ua lag luam no tau txais kev txhawb nqa los ntawm US Department of Defense thiab tau teem sijhawm pib ua haujlwm thaum kawg ntawm 2027. Tetra bromine cog nyob hauv Stamps, muaj peev xwm tsim tau bromine ntawm 75 lab phaus hauv ib xyoos. Tetra tuav txoj cai mining rau kwv yees li 40,000 acres ntawm brine mining thaj chaw nyob rau sab hnub poob Arkansas, uas muaj cov minerals tseem ceeb xws li bromine, lithium, magnesium, thiab manganese. Txoj kev tshawb nrhiav qhov ua tau zaum kawg hloov kho los ntawm Tetra thaum lub Cuaj Hli qhia tau hais tias qhov ntsuas thiab qhia txog magnesium cov peev txheej hauv Tetra- cheeb tsam tswj tau ze li 2.2 lab luv tons. Vim qhov kev tso tseg ntawm US Magnesium hauv Utah, qhov kev sib koom ua lag luam no yuav yog thawj zaug kev lag luam - nplai ib txwm muaj magnesium hlau ntau lawm hauv Asmeskas txij li xyoo 2022. US Geological Survey kwv yees tias Tuam Tshoj dominates ntiaj teb magnesium ntau lawm, accounting rau 86% ntawm tag nrho cov smelting muaj peev xwm nyob rau hauv 2024. Nyob rau hauv Tuam Tshoj account rau 2024. 39%), ntawm 917 metric tons, tab sis cov khoom xa tuaj ntim tau poob qis thaum Lub Yim Hli mus rau 158 tons xwb. Txawm li cas los xij, cov khoom siv hlau magnesium txawv teb chaws los ntawm Asmeskas hauv thawj yim lub hlis ntawm lub xyoo no tau tshaj li ntawm 2024, vim tias cov neeg siv Asmeskas tuaj yeem tau txais ntau cov khoom siv los ntawm Brazil, Canada, thiab Kazakhstan. Qhov kev ntsuam xyuas tsis ntev los no los ntawm Argus ntawm US warehouse off- coj tus nqi ntawm magnesium (yam tsawg kawg 99.9%) yog $7,055 - $7,606 ib tuj. Txij li thaum nce tus nqi vim Sino- US kev lag luam tensions ua ntej lub xyoo no, tus nqi tau nyob ruaj khov txij li ib tug tseem ceeb nce los ntawm $6,{29}} $6,945 ib ton.
