Ten years of rapid development in chemical engineering technology – praising the prosperity and strength of modern China. This is just a starting point; more participation will make things even more interesting. With you here, HaiChuan becomes even better. [Ten years of progress in chemical engineering equipment] – continuous updates and summaries available; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html. Enhance quality awareness and promote high-quality development. ----------------------------------------- On August 30, 2023, it was reported by **Energy Group that the pilot project for the Z-N catalyst used in polypropylene production at the group’s Ningxia Coal Industry facility was successful in its first operation, with the first batch of products being produced successfully. This project produces 40 tons per year of a new type of polypropylene Z-N catalyst, which can meet two-thirds of the catalyst demand of the polypropylene plants in the Ningxia Coal Industry Coal Chemical Park. **Ningxia Coal Industry, part of the Energy Group, is the largest producer of coal-based polypropylene in China. Since the operation of its polypropylene production facilities began, it has carried out extensive research on polypropylene catalysts in an effort to reduce its reliance on imported catalysts. The polypropylene Z-N catalyst pilot project is Ningxia Coal Industry’s first pilot project that integrates research and production, utilizing a process technology package jointly developed over a decade by the Coal Chemistry Industry Technology Research Institute of Ningxia Coal Industry and the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The polypropylene Z-N catalyst can be used by Ningxia Coal Industry’s Olefin Branch 1 and Olefin Branch 2 to produce new polypropylene products, which are then utilized by downstream companies in applications such as small household appliance casings and modified automotive materials, offering broad development prospects. The successful first operation of this pilot project for polypropylene Z-N catalysts indicates that **Energy Group Ningxia Coal Industry has mastered the core technology related to polypropylene catalysts, achieving self-sufficiency in these catalysts. This lays the foundation for producing high-quality polypropylene products, and it will further promote the diversification, advancement, and cleaner production of polypropylene products.
