MIIT begins accepting applications for enterprises to become qualified yellow phosphorus enterprises

According to Phosphorus Industry China Monthly Report 1309 issued by CCM, On Aug. 12, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of People's Republic of China (MIIT) began accepting applications for enterprises to become qualified yellow phosphorus enterprises. The Entry Criteria for Yellow Phosphorus has been in operation since Jan. 1, 2009, and is aimed at obsoleting backwards production technologies and methods, promoting the transformation and upgrading of the domestic yellow phosphorus industry and optimising the distribution of resources. Enterprises must meet the requirements stipulated in the Entry Criteria for Yellow Phosphorus in order to become qualified yellow phosphorus enterprises.  

On Nov. 19, 2012, 36 domestic yellow phosphorus manufacturers were listed as the first group of qualified yellow phosphorus enterprises. They will be continuously monitored as stated in the recent announcement of MIIT. (for more details about the Entry Criteria for Yellow Phosphorus, please refer to P3, Issue 12, Vol. 2: Producers meeting Entry Criteria for Yellow Phosphorus decrease to 36) 

In recent years, some yellow phosphorus manufacturers have made considerable progress and achievements on energy conservation and clean production. These goals are emphasized in the Entry Criteria for Yellow Phosphorus. Professional energy-saving service companies have also played a part in this process.

On May 28, Baokang Chufeng Chemical Co., Ltd. (Baokang Chufeng Chemical), a subsidiary of Xingfa Group, completed its Waste Heat Utilization and Motor System Energy Saving Renovation Project. As a result of this project, Baokang Chufeng Chemical's energy consumption per RMB10,000 output value dropped by 28.2%.

Also, Datang Shidai Energy Conservation Technology Co., Ltd. (Datang Shidai Energy Conservation) obtained three patents on yellow phosphorus exhaust treatment and electricity generation in early August. The three patents are: the "Yellow Phosphorus Exhaust Treatment Purification and Electricity Generation", which uses combustible gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen and methane in yellow phosphorus exhausts to generate electricity; the "Purification Device of Yellow Phosphorus Exhausts"; the "Deep Purification Device of Yellow Phosphorus Exhausts".

Both the Purification Device of Yellow Phosphorus Exhausts and the Deep Purification Device of Yellow Phosphorus Exhausts clean the exhausts with the processing methods of alkali wash and water wash in order to eliminate corrosive substances such as dust, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, phosphorus and fluorine. There is no doubt that these patents will bring Datang Shidai Energy Conservation significant economical, social and environmental benefits. 

The overcapacity of low-purity yellow phosphorus and the shortage of high-purity yellow phosphorus are other major issues that should also be addressed. Yellow phosphorus is an important basic raw material for the fine phosphorus industry. The demand for high-purity yellow phosphorus is growing as a result of the increasing consumption of China's electronic grade phosphoric acid. Methods to address these issues include providing more subsidies or other preferential policies to help accelerate the development of China's high-purity yellow phosphorus and fine phosphorus chemical industries.

Yellow phosphorus price to show downside


Price of yellow phosphorus is expected to keep downward trend and stay at the bottom till Oct., 2013, primarily due to the flat demand and seasonal production cost cut, according to Phosphorus Industry China Monthly Report, the monthly newsletter issued by CCM.

In the wake of the weakening downstream consumption, China's demand for yellow phosphorus finally ended its high consumption growth during 2008–2011.

China saw a high growth in domestic demand for yellow phosphorus as of 2008. From 2008 to 2011, the apparent consumption volume of yellow phosphorus increased by a compound annual growth rate of 5.5% in China.

However, the apparent consumption volume of yellow phosphorus dropped to 797,241 tonnes in 2012. Moreover, China's yellow phosphorus apparent consumption volume touched 103,803 tonnes in the first quarter of 2013, decreasing by 14.05% year-on-year as compared with that in the corresponding period of last year.

Generally speaking, the price of yellow phosphorus will remain on the downside with the coming wet season (June–Sept.), because the production cost of yellow phosphorus showed a 5–10% seasonal decline along with a price cut in electricity retail price during this period. However, the yellow phosphorus price is expected to usher in a decline in advance in 2013.

According to certain yellow phosphorus producers in Yunnan Province, they were orally informed that the retail price of electricity in May would be charged in line with that in wet season. In this case, the price of yellow phosphorus will be on the way down a month earlier than usual.

However, some yellow phosphorus purchasers have indicated that the main yellow phosphorus production province in China—Yunnan Province—generally suffers serious drought during the regular wet season, which causes wide electric power shortages and thus hold up the production of yellow phosphorus. Therefore, they are still worried that the drought might reverse the price decline.

Fortunately, Yunnan Province has made some preparations to resist droughts. In addition, the local water authority has advised that the current volumes of water in storage are more than that of previous years. Relatively speaking, these have reduced the possibility of electric power shortages in Yunnan Province.
