Recently, the signing ceremony for the billion-yuan electronic chemicals and related projects between Yantan District of Zigong City and Ruibai Group was held in Chengdu. The total investment in this project is 11.3 billion yuan, primarily used for the development of green solvents, wet electronics chemicals, and related facilities. The project is located in the Zigong Southern Sichuan New Materials Chemical Park, covering an area of 1,000 mu. It will be developed in two phases to produce green solvents, wet electronics chemicals, and related facilities. Phase 1 of the project plans to invest 6.5 billion yuan in building facilities for producing acetic acid, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, anhydrous ethanol, and electronic-grade carbonates through natural gas cracking. Once all facilities are in operation, the total output value is expected to reach 12 billion yuan, with total profits and taxes amounting to 2 billion yuan; additionally, 600 new jobs will be created. The second phase involves an investment of 4.8 billion yuan to build production facilities for sorbic acid (potassium), acrylic acid, acrylates, and other products. Acetic acid, also known as vinegar acid, is one of the most important organic acids. It is mainly used in the production of acetic anhydride, acetates, and cellulose acetate. Polyvinyl acetate can be made into films and adhesives, and it is also a raw material for the synthetic fiber vinylon. Methyl acetate is primarily used as an organic solvent, and it serves as a raw material for spray paints, artificial leather, and fragrances. Ethyl acetate, also known as ethyl acetate acid, is one of the most widely used fatty acid esters. It is a fast-drying solvent with excellent solvating capabilities, making it an ideal industrial solvent; it can also be used as an eluent in column chromatography. Ethanol is an important organic solvent that is widely used in various fields such as pharmaceuticals, coatings, sanitary products, cosmetics, and oils, accounting for about 50% of the total ethanol consumption. Ethanol is an important basic chemical raw material used to produce acetaldehyde, ethylene, ethylamine, ethyl acetate, acetic acid, chloroethane, and so on; it also serves as a precursor for many intermediates used in the manufacture of products such as pharmaceuticals, dyes, coatings, fragrances, synthetic rubbers, detergents, and pesticides. Battery-grade carbonates are key materials in the production of lithium batteries, and can ultimately be used in fields such as new energy vehicles and smart mobile devices.
