Recently, the second phase of the ultra-pure electronic chemicals project at the Central China facility of Zhongju Xin Technology Co., Ltd., as well as the project to upgrade and expand the production capacity of electronic-grade sulfuric acid, commenced construction in Qianjiang, Hubei. 　　“The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year, with operations starting in March 2026. ”According to Lu Zhencheng, general manager of Zhongju Xin (Hubei) Technology Co., Ltd., with the growth of strategic emerging semiconductor industries such as integrated circuits and flat-panel displays, the demand for electronic-grade sulfuric acid continues to rise, and the industry’s requirements regarding the quality of this substance are becoming increasingly stringent. The second phase of this ultra-pure electronic chemicals project, as well as the project to upgrade and expand the production capacity of electronic-grade sulfuric acid, will enable the production capacity of electronic-grade sulfuric acid at the Central China facility to be increased from 40,000 tons per year to 60,000 tons per year. This will further improve the quality of the product, thereby maintaining its competitive advantage and meeting future market demands. 　　It is reported that the Zhongju Xin Huazhong base project has a total investment of 1.38 billion yuan and is located in the Qianjiang Microelectronics Materials Industrial Park. The project uses by-products such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and hydrogen produced in the nearby Jianghan Salt Chemical Industrial Park as raw materials to manufacture products such as electronic-grade sulfuric acid, electronic-grade ammonia water, electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid, and high-purity chlorine gas, which are used in the production of integrated circuits. Once operational, the project’s output value is expected to reach 1.2 billion yuan. At present, the first-phase project for producing 52,500 tons per year of ultra-pure electronic chemicals was officially put into operation on February 18, 2023.
