The Fujian Provincial Government website announced that on May 24, the signing ceremony for the introduction of technology from Johnson Matthey, the world's largest BDO project with an annual output of 900,000 tons, was held in Fuzhou on May 24.
Zhongjing Petrochemical is the largest manufacturer of biaxially oriented polypropylene film (BOPP) in the world. It has invested 28 billion yuan so far. Thin film" completes the carbon three-full industrial chain, and will enter the top 500 Chinese enterprises in 2023.
The C4 new material industry chain project utilizes a large amount of by-product hydrogen produced by propane dehydrogenation to propylene to produce a new chemical material BDO (1,4-butanediol), which can be used to produce lithium batteries, high-end fabric spandex, and fully degradable plastics wait. The total investment of the project is 18 billion yuan, and the annual output value exceeds 60 billion yuan. It will be constructed in three phases, and it is planned to be completed and put into operation within three years.
At present, Zhongjing Petrochemical produces 135,000 tons of hydrogen per year in the process of propane dehydrogenation to propylene, which is mainly used as fuel, and its value can be more than doubled after being used as industrial raw materials. The enterprise builds the C4 industrial chain, uses the maleic anhydride hydrogenation device to consume the hydrogen of the C3 industrial chain, and uses the large amount of reaction heat generated by the oxidation of butane to produce maleic anhydride to generate ultra-high pressure steam for the C3 industrial chain, perfectly utilizing the coupling The advantages solve the problems of hydrogen, steam supply, and reaction heat utilization.
It is reported that the important core patented technology of the project - maleic anhydride legal BDO adopts Johnson Matthey's advanced technology.
