Abstract
China is faced with many problems in the import and export trade of slag ash. This paper analyzes the network pattern of slag ash trade from multiple perspectives by using the trade data of UN trade database for five years from 2007 to 2022 and using social network analysis method. The conclusion shows that the slag ash trade network presents the characteristics of low aggregation and concentrated fluctuation, and the slag ash trade relationship between countries is not very close, but with the increase of years, the trade volume continues to rise. Therefore, this paper suggests that China should make full use of trade relations and hub advantages to realize the combination of "bringing in" and "going out" to promote the development of slag ash trade.
