NDRC Regulates Phosphate Industry Development

The 2011 edition Guiding Catalog of Industrial Structure Adjustment (the Guiding Catalog 2011), released by National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) of China, effectively regulates China’s phosphate industry.

The Guiding Catalog 2011 divides all industries into different types of encouraged, restricted and eliminated. Among the encouraged industries, NDRC’s encouragements are:

-- exploiting and utilizing low grade phosphorus ore and its associated ores;

-- full heat recovery thermal phosphoric acid production;

-- setting up large-scale production line of calcium phosphate with defluorination device;

-- comprehensive ardealite utilization and wet phosphoric acid purification device with capacity above 100,000t/a;

Besides, NDRC also encourages phosphoric acid iron battery materials. Meanwhile, NDRC restricts the development of some phosphate chemicals with characters of overcapacity, high energy consumption and heavy environmental pollution. The restricted type related to phosphate industry includes:

-- new sulfuric acid production lines with unit production capacity below 300,000t/a (sulfur burning process) and 200,000t/a (pyrite-based process);

-- new plants of STPP, PCl3, P2S5, feed grade calcium hydrogen phosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate, etc.;

-- new production line of yellow phosphorus with unit capacity below 30,000t/a;

-- new production device of ammonium phosphate fertilizer;

-- new production lines of glyphosate, triazophos.

The eliminated types related to phosphate chemicals are some inefficient capacity includes unit production capacity that is below 100,000t/a (both sulfur burning and pyrite-based); unit capacity below 5,000t/a and the devices which can not meet the requirements listed in Entry Criteria; unit capacity below 10,000t/a (STPP), 5,000t/a (sodium hexametaphosphate), 5,000t/a (PCl3) and 30,000t/a (feed grade calcium hydrogen phosphate).

Chinese Glyphosate Upstream Industry Webinar Was Successfully Held

A free online Webinar on Chinese glyphosate upstream industry was successfully held by CCM at 16:00 (GMT+8, Beijing Time) August 25, 2011.

“This webinar has been the most successful one so far. Nearly 50 people have registered, the biggest number of registration ever since. The topic of glyphosate upstream industry aroused great interest among those who have registered. But we feel sorry about the entry barrier to some of the participants. The number of the participants was far more than the limited quota assigned for the webinar. We had worked hard on this issue to solve this problem.” Rico Chen, the speaker of the webinar stated.

 “Most attendees were from renowned companies, such as Syngenta, Monsanto, Rhodia and Taminco, etc.” Rico said, “More than 70% of the attendees think the webinar was quite valuable and some information was impressive and useful. They have benefited a lot from this webinar.”

During this webinar, CCM reviewed the production, consumption, import and export situation of glyphosate upstream industries (DAE, Glycine, Paraformaldehyde, IDAN and Phosphorus Chemicals) in China. The development trend of the products in the past few years was shown by the displaying charts, which helps to better understand the demand and price dynamic in Chinese market. What’s more, Rico analyzed that the reasons resulted in recession of glyphosate lie in overcapacity, export barrier, rising cost and climate. Combined with the industrial chain, CCM made forecast on the future trend and opportunities of the upstream products and the producers. On the whole, the glyphosate will be in downturn for the time being, but the upstream industries are still able to see the opportunities.  

“The information prepared for the webinar is mainly referred to CCM’s existing report Global Commercial Opportunities Derived from Glyphosate Industry and other researches related to glyphosate, such as Glyphosate China Monthly Report.” Rico explained.

CCM will keep hold such kind of live webinars frequently. We are looking forward to your attendances in CCM’s next webinar!

Large Phosphorus Ore Exploiters Benefit from Policy Switch

Phosphorus Industry China Monthly Report released by CCM shows that large phosphorus resource exploiters are to benefit from the policy switch related to phosphorus resource.

As the most important raw material of phosphate industry, phosphorus ore draws more and more attention. To protect and make effective use of phosphorus resource, Hubei Province, the second largest region on phosphate in China, has recently promulgated that provincial government will stop proving any mining exploration and exploitation rights in the phosphorus mining areas, excluding provincial geological survey fund projects.

Meanwhile, provincial government will promote the restructuring and closure of phosphorus, exploit company with the production capacity below 150,000t/a, and promote the phosphorus resource focusing on larger exploiters.

The policy switch is beneficial to the large phosphorus ore exploiters, especially that in Hubei Province, such as Hubei Xingfa Chemicals Group Co., Ltd. (Hubei Xingfa). It is reported that Hubei Xingfa will gain the exploitation right of 60.26 million tonnes phosphorus ore from Yichang Phosphorus Chemistry, which will boost its annual exploitation capacity to 4.3 million tonnes from the current 2.25 million tonnes.

The following highlights are covered in the first issue of Phosphorus Industry China Monthly Report:

-China encourages low grade phosphorus ore exploitation.

-Large phosphorus ore exploiters are benefit from policy switch.

-Yellow phosphorus export still sluggish without special export tariff.

-China continues to eliminate yellow phosphorus inefficient production capacity in 2011.

-MIIT is to promulgate Entry Criteria for Phosphate and Ammonium Production in 2011.
