Strong leaders in Lufeng City gather to build the "Green Titanium Valley" in central Yunnan

In recent years, relying on titanium resources and leading enterprises, Lufeng City of Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture has promoted the extension chain of titanium industry and the iterative upgrading of titanium technology, made great efforts to improve the scale, quality and core competitiveness of titanium industry, and accelerated the construction of titanium valley in central Yunnan.

Walking into the titanium dioxide packaging workshop of Longbailufeng Titanium Industry Co., Ltd., bags of packed titanium dioxide are placed neatly by automatic palletizer through the conveyor belt. According to reports, 380 tons of titanium dioxide are shipped out every day. In the first quarter, the enterprise's two full production lines produce a total of 30,000 tons of titanium dioxide, with a production and marketing rate of 100%.

Longbai Lufeng Titanium Industry Co., Ltd., located in Lufeng City, as a typical representative of rich titanium ore resources in Chuxiong Prefecture, Longbai Group has continuously optimized its product structure through enterprise restructuring and reform. gradually developed into a collection of mining, smelting, chemical industry, product processing as one of the enterprises, forming a complete titanium concentrate-titanium chloride slag-chlorinated titanium dioxide-titanium metal whole industry chain. With the vigorous development of industrial economy in the industrial park, the titanium industry chain represented by Longbailufeng Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. is ushering in new vigor and vitality.

At present, Longbailufeng Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. has three production lines, producing an average of 380 tons of titanium dioxide per day, reaching 30, 000 tons in the first quarter alone, achieving a 100 percent production and sales rate, and the company expects the annual output to reach 160000 tons.

Zhu Hui, vice chairman of the trade union of Longbailufeng Titanium Industry Co., Ltd., said: "as an 'industrial monosodium glutamate', titanium dioxide is widely used in many fields such as coatings, plastics, inks, chemical fibers and ceramics. Our annual output of titanium dioxide has increased rapidly from 50, 000 tons to 260000 tons, and the company has been rated as a provincial-level high-tech enterprise and a provincial-level special new 'little giant' enterprise. "

Xu Youbao, workshop director of Longbailufeng Titanium Industry Co., Ltd., said: "We have three production lines, one of which can produce 200 tons a day. Our titanium dioxide can be shipped away on the same day, and most of our products are exported to Europe and the United States."

In addition to titanium dioxide, sponge titanium is also one of the main products of Longbailufeng Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. Sponge titanium is a spongy metal titanium produced by metal thermal reduction. Because of its good toughness and plasticity, it can withstand the test of-100℃, maintain good toughness without brittleness, and can also withstand 400℃-500℃ high temperature, especially the titanium alloy engine, which can maintain normal operation at high temperature, so it is widely used in aerospace medical materials, and titanium is found in all parts of Shenzhou spacecraft.

Dai Xiaowei, director of the steaming workshop of Longbai Lufeng Titanium Industry Co., Ltd., said: "our sponge titanium is 250 kg per barrel, with an annual production capacity of 80,000 tons, and can produce about 500 barrels a day."

Lufeng City is not only continuously optimized on the basis of the industry, but also committed to promoting the chain development and green process of the titanium industry. Since the 14th five-year Plan, Lufeng Industrial Park has made full use of the advantages of talent, technology, resources and market of Longbai Group and Yunti Company to build an innovative area of titanium industry agglomeration in Yunnan and the largest sponge titanium production base in the world. Relying on the leading enterprises such as Longbai Group and Yunnan Titanium Industry Company, Yunnan Lufeng Industrial Park has introduced deep processing application-grade companies such as new titanium materials to promote the development of industrial clusters. At present, it has formed a relatively complete titanium industry chain from titanium mining to high-titanium slag, titanium dioxide, titanium sponge and titanium processing trade, with good conditions for the development of high-end titanium alloy products and extending the titanium industry chain downstream. At the same time, through scientific and technological research and technological innovation, vanadium-titanium magnetite smelting technology has been formed, which provides a resource guarantee for the layout of vanadium-titanium metal intensive processing, green assembly construction and other industries, and can continuously promote the development of superior industrial chains. Steadily moving towards the goal of "Central Yunnan Titanium Valley".

It is understood that at present, there are 31 titanium industrial enterprises in Chuxiong Prefecture, with a production capacity of 500000 tons of high-titanium slag, 300000 tons of chlorinated titanium dioxide and 80, 000 tons of sponge titanium under construction. it has good conditions for the development of high-end titanium alloy products and the extension of titanium industry chain downstream.
