On August 20, a negotiation meeting and signing ceremony were held in Xingren County, Guizhou, for a project undertaken by Suzhou Tailida Technology Co., Ltd., aimed at producing 1,500 tons of nickel-based catalysts and 50 tons of precious metal-based catalysts per year. Fang Xianhong, Deputy Secretary of the Xingren County Party Committee and County Head; Feng Zijian, Member of the County Party Committee and Executive Deputy County Head; Yao Yuangen, an expert from the Institute of Solid State Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; Hua Fengnan, Chairman of Suzhou Tailida Technology Co., Ltd.; and officials from relevant departments attended the signing ceremony. During the meeting, Fang Xianhong had in-depth discussions with Hua Fengnan on topics such as Xingren’s unique climate conditions, the foundation for the development of the coal chemical industry, the progress of coal-based ethylene glycol projects, and the use of business networks to attract further investment. It is understood that in order to further develop the coal chemical industry and related industries in Xingren County, to form industrial clusters and complete the coal-based ethylene glycol production chain, and in line with the actual efforts being made to attract investment to local industries, Xingren County has used the coal-based ethylene glycol project as a foundation for attracting investment. Through the mediation of Yao Yuangen, an expert from the Institute of Structural Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the county established connections with Suzhou Tailida Technology Co., Ltd. The company has been collaborating with expert Yao Yuangen from the Institute of Solid State Structure of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for many years; it is a specialized enterprise in the production of aluminum-nickel alloy catalysts as well as catalysts based on precious metals (palladium, platinum). After numerous discussions and on-site inspections, the company has reached an investment agreement for a project to produce 1,500 tons of nickel-based catalysts and 50 tons of precious metal-based catalysts per year. It is reported that this project takes advantage of factors such as the coal-to-ethylene glycol project in Xingren County, the local power grid, and its strategic transportation location; it replicates the model used in the factory in Jiangsu and brings in a professional technical team to carry out the construction of the catalyst production facility in the Baling Heavy Industry Zone of Xingren County. The project requires approximately 30 mu of land for planning, with a total investment of around 50 million yuan. Of this amount, 25 million yuan will be invested in the first phase and another 25 million yuan in the second phase. The plan is to build production lines capable of manufacturing 1,500 tons of nickel-based catalysts per year, 50 tons of precious metal-based catalysts per year, and 20 tons of mercury-free PVC catalysts per year. Once fully completed and put into operation, this project will directly supply raw materials for the coal-based ethylene glycol project in Xingren County, and it will also fill the gap in the catalyst industry there.
