Yesterday, it was reported by the Anhui Provincial Department of Science and Technology that the project aimed at developing technology for methanol-to-propylene production using a fluidized bed, which is being carried out jointly by China National Chemical Engineering Corporation, Tsinghua University, and Anhui Huahua Group Co., Ltd. To date, 11 tons of catalyst powder have been produced, secondary fluidization tests have been conducted, and the entire system’s process flow has been fully established. 　　 It is reported that the establishment of this project within Huahua Group will not only help Huahua gain core technologies with independent intellectual property rights in the field of coal chemical industry and seize a competitive advantage in this sector, but it will also enable the training of a large number of professional technical talents, providing technical and human resources support for Huahua’s 1.7 million tons per year methanol-to-olefins project. 　　 As an important basic raw material in the petrochemical industry, propylene is severely in short supply. Methanol to propylene (MTP) is the most promising process for producing olefins as a substitute for petroleum-based routes. This project utilizes the patented technology for methanol-to-propylene conversion (FMTP) developed by Tsinghua University to build an industrial pilot plant with an annual capacity of 30,000 tons for methanol-to-propylene production within the Huaihua Group’s facility, thereby developing a methanol-to-propylene (FMTP) technology that possesses independent intellectual property rights in China. It seems like this project isn’t progressing very well. Is there anyone who knows the specifics? . Note $ # , $ $
