precision component parts, 3) Brass-alloy manufacture
and 4) Raw materials for paint industry. Sulfuric
acid as its by-product is an essential item for such key
industries as fertilizer, steel-making and textile industries.
It can also supply cadmium metal and copper products
(copper ingot and cupric sulphate) as by-products
to enhance its profitability, thus significantly
contributing to motivating the progress of key industries,
as well as development of available resources
