Heavy! Longbai Group won the first prize in Science and Technology Progress Award of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation

On December 5, the 2023 China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation Science and Technology Awards Ceremony was grandly held in Wuhan. Longbai Group's "Development and Industrialization of Complete Technology for the Manufacturing and Resource Utilization of Titanium Dioxide by Filing Chlorination Process" project won the first prize for scientific and technological progress, and also won a patent excellence award for the petroleum and chemical industry. The award of this honor is not only an affirmation of Longbai Group's scientific research strength, but also a spur to Longbai's innovative development.

In order to break the monopoly and blockade of European and American countries on the boiling chlorination process and solve the problem of boiling chlorination technology stuck, Longbai Group has built China's first large-scale boiling chlorination furnace after more than 10 years of research. In view of the lack of high-quality titanium raw materials and core processes and equipment for the boiling chlorination process, lack of high-end special titanium dioxide coating control technology, and difficulty in treating chlorination waste. A complete set of technologies for the manufacturing and resource utilization of boiling chlorination titanium dioxide was formed and successfully industrialized, realizing the innovation of the entire industry chain of chlorinated titanium dioxide from "raw materials-equipment-process-product-resource comprehensive utilization". The successful implementation of this project not only effectively broke the blockade of foreign chlorination process technology, but also reduced China's dependence on foreign countries from 90% to 47.3%. The import of high-end chlorinated titanium dioxide exceeded 300,000 tons per year. It also changed the pattern of China's titanium dioxide industry dominated by sulfuric acid, increasing the proportion of China's chlorinated titanium dioxide from less than 2% to 12.7%. It has achieved independent control of China's high-end titanium raw materials and clean production and green manufacturing of titanium dioxide, effectively promoted the optimization and upgrading of the titanium industry structure, provided a good example for wastewater treatment and utilization in the inorganic chemical industry, and also laid the foundation for Panxi Vanadium-titanium The foundation for the high-value utilization of magnetite provides security for the high-quality development of national strategic titanium resources and provides strong support for a strong titanium industry.

For a long time, Longbai Group has always adhered to the industrial innovation concept of "whole industry, large circulation", firmly anchored the green circular economy strategy, persisted in relying on innovation to drive high-quality development, and won 31 scientific and technological progress awards at or above the provincial and ministerial levels. Among them, the core patent for the co-production process of titanium dioxide won the China Patent Excellence Award;"Key Technology and Industrialization of Multi-level Resource Utilization of Titanium Dioxide By-Products" won the first prize in the first "Zero Carbon Central Plains Cup" Henan Province Green Manufacturing Technology Application Innovation Competition;"Research on Efficient and Green Comprehensive Recovery Process and Equipment of Vanadium-Titanium Magnetite" won the first prize in Science and Technology Progress by China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association;"Key Technology and Application for Manufacturing of High Weatherability and High Gloss Paint Grade Chlorinated Titanium Dioxide" won the third prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award in Henan Province.

In the future, the Group will unswervingly follow the path of scientific and technological innovation, be problem-oriented and demand-driven, work hard on the foundation of innovation, innovation subjects, and innovation resources, devote itself to in-depth research of the industry, and empower new materials with more cutting-edge technologies and research results. Products, using technological innovation to make new and greater contributions to the high-quality development of the titanium industry.
