Industry Initiative to Lead the Development of Titanium Dioxide Industry with Chlorination

At the seminar on titanium dioxide development in the chlorination process held last week, there were more than 60 domestic and overseas titanium dioxide experts in view of the shortage of high-end and special-purpose rutile products at home and abroad, and the overcapacity of domestic low-grade anatase titanium dioxide products. Issued an initiative: During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, advanced technology should be adopted to advance the diversified and high-precision development of the titanium white structure, and the chlorination production technology is used to lead the development of the titanium white industry.

Experts at the meeting proposed that China's titanium dioxide enterprises must change the status quo of fewer high-end products, and the adjustment of product structure is imminent. Although both the chlorination process and the ** process can produce rutile titanium dioxide, the titanium dioxide produced by the chlorination process is superior to the ** method in terms of whiteness, harmful impurity content, and semi-finished product stability in particular. In addition, the economic scale of the chlorination plant is stable and its cost will be lower than the ** method. At present, most products in the high-end titanium dioxide market are produced by the chlorination process.

According to Ding Zhi, the deputy secretary-general of China National Coatings Industry Association, after 20 years of development, China's titanium dioxide market has continued to expand and has become the world's second largest producer of titanium dioxide. With the rapid development of the global coatings, paper, rubber, and automotive industries, the shortage of high-end titanium white products has become an indisputable fact. In this context, Jinzhou Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. broke the Western countries' technological standards, conquered many technical difficulties, mastered the key core technologies for the production of titanium chloride, and optimized processes and equipment. At present, Jinzhou Titanium has established a 10,000-ton chloridizing titanium dioxide production line with independent intellectual property rights, completed the world's first fusion of molten salt chlorination technology and gas phase oxidation technology, and developed a CR rutile series product, which has been realized in many fields. Replacement of imported titanium dioxide products. This means that the chlorination process of Jinzhou Titanium Industry has matured and has the technical conditions for large-scale industrialization.

Liu Changheqiang, consultant and expert group leader of the Chinese Coatings Association Titanium Dioxide Association, believes that the current chlorination process is being recognized as an advanced industrial technology route, and the determination and confidence of domestic large-scale chlorination titanium dioxide production plants is being built and promoted. Being formed, chlorination process promotion has already made a good start. The advantages of the chlorination process in technology and clean production will surely lead the titanium white enterprises to choose more chlorination titanium dioxide processes.

It is understood that the State's "Planning and Revitalization of the Petrochemical Industry Plan" has included the chlorination of titanium dioxide production as a key support target, which has created favorable conditions for the orderly promotion and amplification of China's chlorinated titanium dioxide production technology. Experts suggest that Jinzhou Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. timely duplicate and amplify the advanced chlorination method of building a 10,000-ton device, and accelerate the development and formation of a group of titanium dioxide industry groups with independent intellectual property rights and high-tech content.
