The World Bank expects global economic growth to slow significantly, from 5.5% in 2021 to 4.1% in 2022 and further to 3.2% in 2023. Growth in East Asia and the Pacific is expected to slow to 5.1 percent in 2022, reflecting the impact of China's economic slowdown, the report said. China's economic growth is expected to fall to 5.1% in 2022, close to potential growth, due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Chinese government's tightening of regulations in certain sectors of the economy. The report said that the rapid spread of the Omicron variant means that the new crown epidemic is likely to continue to disrupt economic activity in the near future. In addition, decelerating growth in major economies, including the United States and China, will depress external demand in emerging markets and developing economies.
Slow economic growth has a huge impact on concrete additive.

At first, concrete additives were used only to save cement. With the development of construction technology, admixture has become the main measure to improve the performance of concrete.

What are advantages of concrete additives?

It can reduce the water consumption of concrete. Or the fluidity of concrete can be increased without increasing water consumption.

The setting time of concrete can be adjusted.

Reduce bleeding and segregation. Improve workability and water elutriation resistance.

The slump loss can be reduced. Increase the pumpability of pumping concrete.

It can reduce contraction. The addition of expansive agent can also compensate for shrinkage.

Delay the initial hydration heat of concrete. Reduce the temperature rise rate of mass concrete and reduce the occurrence of cracks.

Improve the early strength of concrete. Prevent freezing at negative temperature.

Improve strength, increase frost resistance, impermeability, wear resistance, corrosion resistance.

Control alkali-aggregate reaction. Prevent the corrosion of steel bar and reduce the diffusion of chloride ion.

Made into concrete with other special properties.

Reduce the viscosity coefficient of concrete.

Where are concrete admixtures used?

1. It is suitable for mass concrete, high-strength and high-performance concrete, roller compacted concrete, concrete constructed in hot weather, concrete poured in a large area, concrete produced by cold joints, concrete that needs to be parked or transported for a long time, self-leveling vibration-free concrete, slip form construction or horizontal construction and other concrete that needs to delay setting time.

2. It is suitable for different grades of concrete under the daily minimum temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, as well as various continuous pouring projects of high flow concrete, commercial concrete, pumping concrete, prestress and reinforced concrete.

3. It is not suitable to be used alone for concrete with early strength requirements and steam curing concrete.

Indonesia plans to increase the content of palm oil-based fuel in biodiesel from 30% to 35%, from B30 to B35, starting from July 20, a senior official from Indonesia's Ministry of Energy said this evening, according to Reuters.

Indonesia, the world's largest palm oil producer, imposed a three-week export ban in May to control domestic cooking oil prices, leading to an increase in palm oil stocks. At present, the authorities are considering reducing the export tax on palm oil to stimulate exports.

Indonesia's Ministry of Energy said that while implementing B35, the ministry will also launch road tests of B40 fuel. Indonesia's senior cabinet minister Luhut Pandjaitan estimates that if Indonesia implements B40, the domestic market may absorb an additional 2.5 million tons of palm oil.

A German government spokesman confirmed that Germany has always wanted Canada to release parts of the "Nord Stream 1" natural gas pipeline sent by Siemens for repair, and this request has received a "positive" response from Canada.

The "Nord Stream 1" natural gas pipeline is the main pipeline for Russia to transmit gas to Europe. At present, the gas output of " Nord Stream 1" has been reduced by 60% compared with the beginning of June, and this is an important time for Germany to store gas for the winter. The German government plans to increase its natural gas inventory to 90% of its gas storage capacity by November, compared with 62% now. Therefore, there is a great need for "Nord Stream 1" gas transmission to fill the inventory.
