The titanium dioxide industry in China has achieved rapid development in recent years. The scale of production has continued to increase, product sales have been very active, and the quality of economic operations has continued to increase, presenting a thriving scene. However, behind the excellent situation, the domestic titanium dioxide industry is also facing tremendous pressure, especially from the four major challenges.
Low-level expansion into hidden dangers In recent years, China's titanium dioxide industry's blind expansion of production capacity is very common. According to statistics, there are currently more than 70 titanium dioxide producing enterprises in China. In 2005, the total production of titanium dioxide reached 700,000 tons. It is expected that this year will reach 900,000 tons or more, an increase of 28%, which is several times the global average increase. According to statistics, currently there are as many as 12 to 14 new titanium dioxide projects in China at the construction, design, or planning stage. They are located in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Hunan, Hubei and Sichuan provinces, with a combined production capacity of approximately 250,000. ~ 300,000 tons. If we add the implementation of the existing enterprise titanium dioxide renovation and expansion project, by the end of the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan†or the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan†period, the total production capacity of China's titanium dioxide industry will reach 1.5 million tons per year.
Due to blind investment, the proportion of low-level, low-tech products in the industry is too large, too many small-scale enterprises, the market share expansion rate is lower than the expansion rate of the company scale, leading to the expansion of the dominant production capacity has not been achieved in an effective market. In other words, the traditional high-speed, high-consumption, high-pollution, low-efficiency growth mode has become a serious problem for the development of China's titanium dioxide industry.
Titanium Ore Constraints Development Titanium Dioxide Industry is one of the industries with high energy consumption and high material consumption. In the production of sulphate titanium dioxide, approximately 50% of the ilmenite or 2.15 tons of ilmenite and 4.15 tons of 100% sulfuric acid are consumed for each ton of titanium dioxide produced. According to a rough calculation, 2.5 million to 3 million tons of ilmenite should be consumed for each million tons of titanium dioxide produced.
Titanium ore products are divided into rock and sand mines according to their nature. Rock and minerals are mainly concentrated in Panxi and Hebei, and sand mines are mainly in Guangdong, Guangxi, and southern regions. At present, there are 965 million tons of titanium resources that have been identified in China. Although China is a big country with titanium resources, ilmenite mining technology and equipment are lagging behind, and has become a bottleneck restricting the development of titanium dioxide industry. In addition, there is a large gap between the quality standards of China's titanium ore products and internationally-accepted products, mainly due to its low grade, high impurity content, and unstable quality. Although the titanium ore industry has achieved rapid development through increased investment through technological advancement, overall, China's mines are scattered, small-scale, technological progress is slow, production equipment is backward, and labor productivity is low, and they are still unable to adapt to titanium. White powder industry needs development.
At present, the shortage of ilmenite in China has become a more and more prominent problem in the development of titanium dioxide industry, and individual companies have fallen into a situation where there is no rice. Many companies can only import large amounts of titanium ore from abroad in order to solve the pressing problem. It is predicted that the total amount of ilmenite and titanium slag imported from abroad this year will exceed 1.2 million tons. It is estimated that the demand for titanium ore will increase rapidly in the next few years. At the same time, the quality of domestic titanium concentrates is declining.
Sulfuric acid environmental protection issues Sulfuric acid production of titanium dioxide due to "three wastes" emissions, has always been the focus of environmental protection departments and the whole society. Although titanium dioxide production enterprises continue to increase their investment in environmental protection and do a lot of work in comprehensive utilization, there is still a gap compared with increasingly stringent environmental protection standards. In recent years, some manufacturers have been ordered to suspend production or rectify due to environmental pollution. According to the country's industry and environmental protection policies, whether the titanium dioxide industry can achieve clean production will become the most critical factor for survival and sustainable development.
Foreign companies hit the domestic market During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, DuPont and Astron built two large-scale titanium dioxide production plants in Dongying, Shandong Province and Yingkou, Liaoning Province, respectively, with an initial size of 200,000 tons per year. At present, the preparatory projects for these two bases are already in full swing and are expected to start production in 2010. After the completion of these two major chlorination process titanium dioxide production bases, they will mainly produce cutting-edge products and will pose severe challenges to domestic titanium dioxide production enterprises.
As the technological innovation capability of a company directly determines the competitiveness of the market, the competition between us and foreign large companies in the future is mainly technical competition. Therefore, production enterprises must speed up the establishment and improvement of technological innovation systems for enterprises, continue to strengthen technological development, increase investment in technology development funds, accelerate the development of technologies and leading products with independent intellectual property rights, and must actively explore technological innovation models and carry out Various forms of production, education and research combine to attract scientific research institutions and colleges and universities to jointly tackle the key technical problems of titanium dioxide production and promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into practical productivity.
In short, at present, China's titanium dioxide industry is facing a crisis of weakened competitiveness. Therefore, do a good job of “three wastes†governance, develop a recycling economy, control low-level expansion, change the mode of economic growth, integrate titanium resources, increase production concentration, strengthen independent innovation of enterprises, and increase market competitiveness, which will be the future of China’s titanium dioxide industry Year of effort.
