On April 20, a reporter from China Chemical Industry News learned from Inner Mongolia Guocheng Resource Comprehensive Utilization Co., Ltd. that the company has recently signed an EPC general contract for the gasification unit required for the \"Sulfur-Titanium-Iron Resource Circular Comprehensive Utilization Project\" with Jinan Huangtai Gas Stove Co., Ltd. in Shandong Province. It is understood that the project will utilize two sets of 30,000 Nm³/h circulating fluidized bed gasification units produced by Huangtai Company, along with the associated equipment. At present, the manufacturing of these devices is in full swing in accordance with the schedule specified in the contract, which indicates that progress is being made on the construction of the titanium dioxide production facility of Guocheng Resources Company located in the Qingkele Industrial Park in Wulat Houqi, Bayannur City, Inner Mongolia. It is reported that Inner Mongolia Guocheng Resource Comprehensive Utilization Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guocheng Mining Co., Ltd. Its \"Sulfur-Titanium-Iron Resource Recycling and Comprehensive Utilization Project\" is located in the Wulat Houqi (Qingkele) Industrial Park in Bayannur City, Inner Mongolia. It covers a total area of 1,047.14 mu, with a total investment of 2.983 billion yuan. The main production facilities include: a plant capable of processing 1 million tons per year of non-ferrous metal mining tailings to produce sulfuric acid from ferrous materials, a plant for producing titanium dioxide at a rate of 200,000 tons per year, and a plant that generates 1 million tons per year of high-quality iron ore concentrate as a by-product. The energy-saving report for this project was approved by an expert panel in the first half of 2020; on May 1 of the same year, it received the \"Review Opinion on the Energy-Saving Report for the Project of Comprehensive Utilization of Sulfur, Titanium, and Iron Resources by Inner Mongolia Guocheng Resources Comprehensive Utilization Co., Ltd.\" from the Development and Reform Commission of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (Document No. Nei Fa Gai Huan Zi [2020] 430). Ma Xianguo, deputy general manager and chief engineer of Guocheng Resources Company, told reporters that the main facilities to be constructed under the company’s projects include: the titanium dioxide production facility, the ferrous sulfate production facility using iron monohydrate, the sulfuric acid production facility, the facility for producing sulfuric acid by mixing tailings with ferrous sulfate, as well as auxiliary facilities and various supporting utility and service systems throughout the site. According to Bian Haifeng, chairman of Jinan Huangtai Gas Stove Co., Ltd., the company is a high-tech enterprise focused on gasification technology research and development as well as product manufacturing, with its main products being efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly coal-to-gas equipment. In particular, the processes using low-rank coal as raw material in atmospheric pressure circulating fluidized bed gasifiers to produce syngas and industrial fuel gas have become mature, standardized, and serialized, and have been successfully applied in industries such as non-ferrous metals, metallurgy, ceramics, ammonia synthesis, chemicals, and coking. It is reported that a responsible official from Guocheng Mining (000688.SZ) revealed recently that preliminary work for the project aimed at the comprehensive recycling and utilization of sulfur-titanium-iron resources began in 2019, including the evaluation of the project’s technical processes, the selection of construction contractors, preparation of the construction site, and the creation of design drawings. The construction period was set at 24 months; construction on the project started in full scale in 2020, with completion and operation expected by early 2022. Source: Refining and Petrochemical News
