On February 6, the construction site of the Sinochem Xinxiangyun New Materials project, with a total investment of 25.5 billion yuan, was in full swing at the Makou Industrial Park in Wuque City. Chen Yanwei, the person in charge of the project’s construction, said that work on the project resumed on February 4, with over 1,000 construction workers working hard to advance the civil engineering tasks and equipment installation, with the goal of starting trial production for the first phase of the project by April. The Zhonghua Chemical Xinxiangyun New Materials project covers an area of approximately 4,350 mu. It is jointly invested by Zhonghua Chemical China Wuhuan Engineering Co., Ltd. and Hubei Xiangyun (Group) Chemical Co., Ltd., and includes three main sectors: phosphorus chemicals, fluorine chemicals, and coal chemicals. The project will be built in three phases. It is understood that the main structure of the fluorine chemicals segment has entered the final stages of completion. China’s Five Rings utilizes green technologies for extracting associated fluorine resources to produce electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid and electronic-grade polyvinylidene fluoride, which can be used in the manufacture of batteries for new energy vehicles and semiconductors. A representative from Xiangyun Group said that once completed, this project will be able to process over 30,000 tons of fluorine resources each year, thereby replacing the scarce fluorspar resources and contributing to more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly practices. On one side of the project site, Hubei’s first Research Institute for Phosphorus and Fluorine Fine Chemical Industry Technology and Sinochem Wuhuan Innovation Incubation Center have been largely completed, with pilot tests set to begin at the end of March. Hu Sibin, director of the Department of Five Rings Technology and Digitalization in China, explained that this platform was developed jointly by Five Rings, Xiangyun, Wuhan University of Technology, and other organizations. It aims to address the key and cutting-edge technical challenges in the phosphorus-fluorine fine chemicals industry chain, thereby overcoming the \"last mile\" obstacle in turning technological achievements into commercial products. “The first pilot plant will conduct experiments on a high-end new chemical monomer that is highly dependent on imports; using this monomer as a raw material, special materials with low weight, high heat resistance, and strong strength can be produced. Once the experiment is successful, it will break the foreign monopoly in one go. ”Hu Sibin said with confidence.
