The upper hand, crude salt market steady light, crude salt market supply shipments relatively flat;

Downstream, the normal operation of paohuajian, glass manufacturers take the goods in general device market.

Device, device manufacturers operating rate of soda production remained at around 60%, the market supply and demand balance.
“Golden nine silver ten” has passed, the soda ash market did not get bigger play at that time, then more difficult to set off more waves. In the short term will maintain soda balance of supply and demand situation, the market is firm operation.

To ensure the quality of pollution source census

The standard point of second national census sources of pollution in December 31, 2017, during the annual data for 2017 data. This census is divided into three stages, the first stage, the fourth quarter of 2016 to the end of 2017, to carry out the preparatory work for the census. The second stage, from the beginning of 2018, organizations around the survey and database construction, completed by the end of the census. The third stage, 2019, organize inspection, data collection and release of census results.

Data quality is of great significance, the industry and the public are very concerned about. How to protect the data in a rigorous and accurate? The responsible person said, according to the census of the requirements of the full implementation of accountability, the main types of data fraud liability according to law, the establishment of “institutional environment to fraud” from the top. In the census process, with the macro social economic data, satellite remote sensing survey data, environmental monitoring data and environmental statistics of historical data and other survey data compared to, make all kinds of subject “can’t fake”.

There are sources of pollution units and self-employed households are census
National pollution source census is a huge systematic project, in addition to the general survey of pollution sources has the characteristics of economic census, the census and the census of agriculture and other national census, there are two prominent characteristics: one is involved in a wide range. “Notice” clearly stipulates that all sources of pollution units and self-employed households are included in the territory of People’s Republic of China. Including: industrial pollution, agricultural pollution, domestic pollution sources, centralized pollution treatment facilities, and other mobile sources, emissions of pollutants facilities.

Another feature of the pollution source census is: professional, high technical requirements. All kinds of pollution sources, is the first census of pollution sources to expand a lot, but also further analysis to grasp the pollution situation, environmental pollution in China at the present stage of environmental impact, the scope and extent of pollution trend, and pollution control ability and the status quo, it puts forward new challenges to the professional and technical.

“As long as there is life and production activities, will produce pollutants. These activities involving different departments, industries, involves different stakeholders, and the main body of the relevant activities of information scattered in different departments, in this sense, the census is very high for the implementation of multi sectoral co-ordination requirements.” The responsible person stressed that we must fully mobilize and play the power of each department, this work to do, in order to have effect.

In order to ensure the implementation of the establishment of the State Council, the second national survey of pollution source census leading group, responsible for the leadership and coordination work. At the same time, the local people’s governments at or above the county level shall set up a leading group and its office of the pollution source in accordance with the unified provisions of the State Council, the second national pollution source census leading group and requirements, to the pollution source census work of the administrative region.

The “national pollution source census census is significant.” The responsible person said, the first national pollution census work carried out in 2007 has achieved remarkable results, and play an important role in the environmental protection work in 10 years. But after 10 years of development, China’s industrial economy and social structure of the population, and the type of pollution source, distribution, scale and nature have undergone tremendous changes. At the same time, influence of rural non-point source, non road mobile sources and volatile organic pollutants on the environment quality gradually, the urgent need for the investigation on the system of emission. With the whole society pays more attention to the quality of the ecological environment, the public need to obtain environmental information is more and more urgent.

What are the pollution source census? In short, who is in the range of sewage, where, what, how to arrange the pollutants, how governance, these are to find out.

The responsible person said, the census census includes basic information, pollutants and sources of pollutants and emissions, pollution control facilities construction and operation etc.. Not only that, we must establish sound files for key pollution sources, pollution source information database and environmental statistics platform.

The distribution of the number of pollution sources and industries and regions, generation and emissions of major pollutants and the treatment situation, this information is very important.” The responsible person said, in order to find out to accurately determine the current environmental situation in China, to improve the quality of the environment as the core to implement the environmental protection policy planning, and constantly improve the environmental management system, scientific, legal, fine and the level of information technology, accelerate the construction of ecological civilization, has important significance in comprehensive completion the construction of ecological environment in short of well-off society.

in 2017 the State Council organized the second national census of pollution sources. This survey covers a wide range, there are sources of pollution units and self-employed households are census. The census includes census information, pollutants and sources of pollutants and emissions, pollution control facilities construction and operation etc.. This census will be the main types of data fraud liability according to law, the establishment of data quality control system and pollution source census data quality control responsibility system, ensure the preciseness and accuracy of census data.

The State Council issued “on the day before the announcement” the second national census sources of pollution, according to provisions of the “Regulations” national pollution source census, every 10 years to carry out a national census of pollution sources, the State Council in 2017 organized the second national census of pollution sources.

26, the environmental protection department official responsible for the relevant matters of the interpretation of the census.

To find out the distribution of all kinds of pollution sources, the number of industries and regions
