Analysis: the current situation and problems of domestic titanium dioxide industry this year

First, the overall condition of titanium dioxide industry in China

   Total output of industry and production

  Due to the nearly 15 years the rapid growth of national economy, lead to titanium dioxide

synchronous growth of the market, as a result, the industry appeared a series of expansion

Project and the month to join the project, make the titanium pigment production capacity

and sustained and rapid rise.

  Product structure optimization obviously

According to the international passage of pigment grade titanium dioxide on the structure

proportion, rutile type products accounted for 85% ~ 90%, sharp titanium products accounts

for only 10% ~ 15% . Rutile type titanium dioxide is the most versatile, mainly used in

paints/coatings, plastics, rubber, printing ink, decorative paper coating, etc. Sharp

titanium type and the world Titanium dioxide is used only for paper (paper fiber filled),

chemical fiber mat, and within a small number of occasions.

In the 1950 s, China's titanium white product level in a paint enamel, electrode, ceramic

is given priority to, sharp level gradually to the pigment in the 70 s Titanium type

development, since the 90 s, higher level of rutile type products began to appear on the

market, and the proportion is increasing.

apparent consumption

the concept internationally, domestic production and imports and exports to

remove, which is equal to the apparent demand (Apparentdemand) , its meaning lies in

"apparent" (surface), is not equal to "have" consumed, some might still be in circulation

way or in the warehouse.

In 2011 China's per capita occupancy of titanium dioxide is 1.18 kg, more than the global

average (0.7 ~ 0.8 kg). In 2012 the per capita titanium pigment Fee amount is 1.24 kg,

titanium dioxide consumption per capita in 2013 at 1.29 kg, continue to rise.

Over the state of titanium white industry in the current circular economy industrial chain

The biggest disadvantages of sulfuric acid method of titanium dioxide are "three wastes"

emissions, the high cost of processing, enterprises regard this as the heavy "baggage". How

to get the Passive to active, develop market commodity chains, is fundamental to titanium

dioxide enterprise long-term health development. At present, the industry in the "three

wastes" Processing and comprehensive utilization has obtained many achievements, appeared a

variety of so-called "combined method" clean production mode, it undoubtedly has a positive

for the company Meaning. But these "combined method" industrial chain has strong industrial

enterprises or the enterprise region characteristic, has the strong limitations, short It

is difficult to the popularization and promotion industry period.

Titanium pigment is a kind of typical ", high-energy-consuming and resource-dependent

"class industry, the production process to remove a large amount of acid gas (vapor), waste

water and waste residue, not only A lot of damage to the environment, is also a great

burden to the production enterprise.

In recent years, with the improvement of the environmental policy and the improvement of

environmental protection concept, environmental conditions of titanium dioxide enterprises

have obvious improvement, most Several companies have the environmental protection device

and put into normal operation, to achieve waste discharging standard. Various enterprises

adjust measures to local conditions, or to create a distinct enterprises Area

characteristic of clean production and circular economy industrial chain, including sulfur

- "ti", "sulfur - p - ti", "sulfur - iron - ti" and "ammonium sulfur - - Titanium "and so

on.

In terms of waste by-products of commercialization, various enterprises of the most

stressful primary sludge produced by waste water waste acid neutralization after gypsum

(red). although A handful of enterprise can realize part of reuse, but most companies still

sleep difficulties. Guangdong HuiYun titanium industry company according to the surrounding

environment, a targeted Create travel industry in the first pass pair of the

commercialization of clean production and circular economy industrial chain, not only do

zero discharge waste by-products of internal circulation, also Considerable economic and

social benefits were obtained. Therefore, February 27 ~ on March 3, the titanium white

industry expert group for the enterprise special inspection , forming investigation report,

the conclusion that the enterprise of "calcium sulfur - iron - titanium -" clean production

with remarkable achievements of circular economy industrial chain, is titanium white

industry in our country A model of circular economy, reached the international advanced

level.

This enterprise has become China's titanium dioxide industry clean production

and circular economy demonstration base, and titanium dioxide industry technology

innovation strategic alliance As one of the annual work plan, the key technology and

successes to industry.

Second, the development prospect is analyzed

The market overall better progressly

White, as a kind of basic inorganic chemical material, widely used in coatings/paints,

plastic (female), paper, ink and other areas, its Development is closely related to the

whole national economic environment and market both at home and abroad. Even if countries

pay attention to the transformation of the pattern of economic development, promote the

industrial structure Optimization and adjustment, the reasonable control of GDP growth, in

the long run, the titanium pigment market growth will also be synchronized or slightly

higher than that of GDP, to predict the future 3 ~ 5 Years, the annual growth rate of 8% ~

12% to 2015 ~ 2017, the Chinese titanium dioxide market consumption will reach 200 ~ 2.3

million t (as in 2013 1.946 million t). Which does not exclude the periodic fluctuate.

Imbalance between supply and demand, excess capacity

In 2013 in the titanium dioxide comprehensive production capacity of 2.8 million t/a (not

including surface treatment and processing enterprises), and the actual output is 2.155

million t, Industry capacity utilization rate is only 77.0%, the level is not high. Nearly

2 ~ 3 years, published around the expansion project, including the existing enterprise

technical renovation, expansion, Month to join the project up to nearly 30, although some

of them have been adjusted, delay, or put on hold, but there are quite a number of projects

to achieve completion , could not have increased dramatically in the future market

background, the trend of excess production capacity, market supply and demand imbalances

and will be more obvious.

There needs to be pointed out that the so-called excess current is only a "periodic",

"structural", think "not overall excess capacity", The facts will deny these misleading

views.
