Fluorine Industry Transformation Needs Multi-Stakeholder Cooperation

Fluorination is one of the new chemical material industries and is called the gold industry. Fluorine chemical products are widely used in the military, chemical, and mechanical fields because of their excellent properties such as chemical resistance, high and low temperature resistance, aging resistance, low friction, and insulation. They have become a rapidly developing and highly promising strategy in the chemical industry. Sex and emerging industries. The "Twelfth Five-Year Plan for Development of China's Fluorine Chemical Industry Industry" proposes that by 2015, the total production capacity of various fluorine chemical products in China will reach 4.5 million tons, of which the proportion of medium and high-end products will be increased to 20%, and the total output value of the fluorine chemical industry will reach 1500. 100 million yuan.

In the process of rapid development, China's fluorine chemical industry also exposed some problems. At present, there are thousands of fluorinated industrial enterprises in China, and a complete fluorinated industrial chain including fluoroalkanes, fluoropolymers, inorganic fluorides, fluorine-containing fine chemicals, and fluorine materials processing has basically taken shape. Fluorite and hydrofluoric acid The production capacity and output of fluorinated industrial products such as aluminum fluoride, fluorinated aluminum, PTFE, HCFC, HFC, and fluorine rubber are also among the highest in the world. However, due to the backwardness of the technological level and the lack of product innovation capability, the industry has experienced a serious phenomenon of low-level redundant construction and disorderly expansion of production capacity, resulting in excessive consumption of fluorite and other resources, which has seriously affected the sustainable development of the industry. Most of the fluorine chemical enterprises are concentrated in the upper reaches of the industrial chain. The total amount of basic fluorine chemical products is large, and the contradictions between the industrial structure and product structure are relatively prominent.

Based on this, to achieve the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" development planning goals, the fluorine chemical industry must focus on the theme of transformation, optimization and innovation, do a good job of structural adjustment, promote industrial transformation and upgrading, refinement, lightweight, composite and energy saving and environmental protection, Circular economy development.

Then, how to promote the adjustment of industrial structure and transformation and upgrading? The author proposes that we must actively play the role of coordination of industry associations, speed up the development of the fluorine chemical industry development rules, quickly form a policy system and management system in line with China's national conditions and characteristics of the fluorine chemical industry, and more To solve the currently constrained factors such as industrial policies, environmental protection regulations, and international trade; second, to speed up the elimination of backward products and processes that result in inferior product quality and cause environmental pollution, and strive to improve scientific and technological innovation capabilities and cultivate high-quality personnel, and introduce more favorable policies. The policy encourages and promotes the shift of the fluorine chemical industry to refinement, differentiation, specialization, and high-end development, and enhances the core competitiveness of the industry. Third, it scientifically positions and rationalizes the construction of the park to increase the protection and intensive exploitation of fluorite resources. Strengthen economic and technological exchanges and cooperation, create a development environment with complementary advantages, reasonable and orderly, and coexistence and common prosperity; Fourth, aim at the world’s scientific and technological frontier to develop new environmentally friendly refrigerants, PTFE, polyvinylidene fluoride, and poly Fluoroethylene propylene and other fluorine-containing fine chemicals, extending Industry chain, rich product line.

Fuxin City, Liaoning Province is the cradle of the development of fluorine chemicals in China, with a history of 40 years. The "Fuxin Fluorine Industry Development Plan" based on the three major advantages of local area, resources, and technology clearly defined the development of mainstream fluorinated industrial products such as fluoroalkanes and fluoropolymers, supporting the development of basic chemical products, and improving the development of fluorine-containing fine chemicals. general idea. At present, supporting facilities in the Fuxin Fluorine Chemical Industry Base in Liaoning Province with an area of ​​20 square kilometers have gradually become complete. A group of well-known domestic and foreign enterprises have been settled in succession. A number of refined, differentiated and high-end fluorine chemical products are being formed. Environmental protection refrigerants, aluminum chloride, and other finely-fluorinated products have entered the market.

Since the beginning of this year, the overall growth rate of the domestic fluorine chemical industry has dropped, and the new fluorine chemical industry has risen against the trend. Up to now, the growth rate of the main economic indicators of the fluorine chemical industry has reached more than 100%, and the road for Fuxin to build China's 100 billion fluorine capital is expanding. The development of the new fluorine chemical industry is not necessarily a mode that the industry can use, but there is no lack of inspiration and reference.
