China's wet-process phosphoric purification facility, 2012

China's wet-process phosphoric purification facility, 2012

In China, few companies are capable of realizing the mass production of wet-process phosphoric acid purification. Nonetheless, there're still a lot of Chinese companies with great interest in promoting the technology of wet-process phosphoric acid purification due to its cost advantages.
 
Take the wet-process phosphoric acid produced by Wengfu Group for example, its technical-grade acid and food-grade acid were sold USD48/t less and USD79/t respectively less compared with those acid with the same quality produced by other producers in the same region.
 
At present, other three wet-process phosphoric acid purification facilities are under construction in China, together amounting to a capacity of 300,000t/a . It's estimated that these new additions of capacity would be put into operation within two years. By then, these cheaper wet-process phosphoric acid commodities would get at least 15% shares of China's phosphoric acid market which was originally taken by thermal-process phosphoric acid.

Wengfu (Group) Co., Ltd. (Wengfu Group), the leading producer of wet-process phosphoric acid in China, has expanded its production capacity of wet-process phosphoric acid to 350,000t/a by the end of 2012.
 
On Dec. 15th, 2012, Wengfu-Dazhou Chemical Co., Ltd. (Wengfu-Dazhou Chemical) announced that it has succeeded in the commissioning for its third wet-process phosphoric acid purification facility (capacity: 150,000t/a).
 
Wengfu-Dazhou Chemical, a subsidiary of Wengfu Group, is responsible for Wengfu Group's production operation in Dazhou City, Sichuan Province. With the addition of this purification facility, Wengfu Group is to have strong competitiveness in China's phosphoric acid market.

Leading Phosphorus Enterprises Rushing Area of Fluorine Through Alliance

For the first time, China’s two leading phosphorus enterprises decided to step into the business of phosphorus-fluorine integration through a strong alliance, according to CCM International’s April issue of Phosphorus Industry China Monthly Report.

On Apr. 5th, 2012, Hubei Xingfa Chemicals Group Co., Ltd. (Hubei Xingfa) and Wengfu (Group) Co., Ltd. (Wengfu Group) launched their third cooperation since they signed a framework cooperation agreement in Nov. 2011 (the details see page 8 issue 5, Vol.1: Hubei Xingfa joints hands with Wengfu for complementary advantage). As China’s two leading phosphorus enterprises, they would jointly develop and utilize accompanying resources (fluorine resources) in phosphorus ore. 

 

In accordance with the announcement issued by Hubei Xingfa, it will combine Wengfu Group to set up a 51:49 joint venture named Hubei Wengfu Lantian Chemical Co., Ltd. (Wengfu Lantian), through their respective holding subsidiary. With the investment of USD15.85 million in total, Wengfu Lantian will be mainly dedicated to the production and sales of fluorine products. Nevertheless, Wengfu Group and Hubei Xingfa are still negotiating the details of this cooperation.

Since the concept of phosphorus-fluorine integration was put forward in China, both phosphorus enterprises and fluorine enterprises have been keeping keen eyes on the accompanying resources in phosphorus ore. Also the China Government encourages relative projects out of effective resources utilization. Meanwhile, there are already some enterprises involved in this business—recovering fluorine resources from phosphorus ore to produce fluorine chemicals.

 

For now, there are four leading phosphorus enterprises engaged in phosphorus-fluorine business in China, including Hubei Xingfa (the details regarding other three leading phosphorus enterprises which are involved in this business see page 2 issue 2, Vol. 2: Guizhou phosphorus enterprises lead phosphorus-fluorine integration). In the meantime, Do-Fluoride Chemicals Co., Ltd. (Do-Fluoride Chemical)—an listed fluorine enterprise has also cooperate with Yunnan’s phosphorus mining enterprises to develop the fluorine resources contained in phosphorus ore early in 2011.

Relatively speaking, the cooperation among domestic phosphorus giants has impressed phosphorus and fluorine industry to a greater extent than previous projects of phosphorus-fluorine integration invested by any other enterprise. After all, Hubei Xingfa has years of experience in production and marketing of fine chemical, while Wengfu Group has mastered mature technology in recovering fluorine resources from phosphorus ore.
