Tellurium

Tellurium is a rare metalloid element found in small quantities in rocks around the world. It commonly occurs combined with other metals like gold, silver, and platinum in telluride minerals. Tellurium has properties of both metals and nonmetals. Most of the world's tellurium production comes from extracting it as a byproduct from processing copper and other metal ores. China is currently the leading producer and exporter of tellurium. Tellurium reserves exist in several countries including the United States, China, Sweden, Japan, and Russia.

Tellurium : The Bright Future of Solar Energy • Tellurium is one of the least common elements on Earth. Most rocks contain an average of about 3 parts per billion tellurium, making it rarer than the rare earth elements and eight times less abundant than gold. • Grains of native tellurium appear in rocks as a brittle, silvery-white material, but tellurium more commonly occurs in telluride minerals that include varied quantities of gold, silver, or platinum. • Tellurium is a metalloid, meaning it possesses the properties of both metals and nonmetals.

Tellurium – Global Scenario • World production of tellurium was estimated to be about 490 tons. • China was the leading producer of refined tellurium, recovering tellurium from copper anode slimes and from residues generated during the lead, nickel, precious metals, and zinc smelting processes

• About 75 percent of imported tellurium is from China and Canada, with lesser amounts from refineries in the Philippines and Belgium. • Globally, the primary producers of tellurium are Sweden, Japan, Russia, China, the United States, and Peru. • Tellurium reserves in the United States are about 15 percent of the global total (24,000 metric tons) and equivalent to approximately eight times the global annual production total (450 metric tons of tellurium).
