Gallium |
Data on world production of primary gallium are unavailable because data on the output of the few producers are considered
to be proprietary.
|
In 2007, world primary production was estimated to be about 80 metric tons. China, Germany, Japan, and Ukraine were the leading producers. |
Countries with smaller output were Hungary, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Slovakia. Refined gallium production was estimated to be about 103 metric tons; this figure includes some scrap refining. |
Gallium was recycled from new scrap in Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. |
