In
metallurgy, a non-ferrous metal is a metal, including alloys, that does
not contain iron (ferrite) in appreciable amounts. Generally more
expensive than ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals are used because of
desirable properties such as low weight (e.g. aluminium), higher
conductivity (e.g. copper), non-magnetic property or resistance to
corrosion (e.g. zinc). Some non-ferrous materials are also used in the
iron and steel industries. For example, bauxite is used as flux for
blast furnaces, while others such as wolframite, pyrolusite and chromite
are used in making ferrous alloys.
Important
non-ferrous metals include aluminium, copper, lead, nickel, tin,
titanium and zinc, and alloys such as brass. Precious metals such as
gold, silver and platinum and exotic or rare metals such as cobalt,
mercury, tungsten, beryllium, bismuth, cerium, cadmium, niobium, indium,
gallium, germanium, lithium, selenium, tantalum, tellurium, vanadium,
and zirconium are also non-ferrous. They are usually obtained through
minerals such as sulfides, carbonates, and silicates. Non-ferrous metals
are usually refined through electrolysis.

Answer: When an application is pending a decision it means that your school has received it and no admissions decision has been made yet. The admissions office may have reviewed your application package or may not have.
The main cause of a pending application is usually incomplete application documents. As a result you will be requested by the school’s admission office to re-check and modify all submitted application documents or perhaps even add extra documents and then re-submit them.
To avoid further delays, carefully read the university’s comments, modify your application form on ACASC, and re-upload the required application documents. You can contact ACASC on admission@acasc.cn for any help with regards to your pending application
Processing time varies for different applications. For example to process a degree program application requires more time than a Chinese language application. Confirmation for Chinese language application by the admission office usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. However, time for degree programs application differs. For example fall semester application processing is after March, and it takes a period of 1 to 2 months. This also depends on your qualification and the number of applicants.
