Since 1998, China's titanium dioxide industry has been a rapid development momentum, the emergence of a group have good market effect of famous brands, a number of international advanced production equipment and technology in the industry has gradually achieve universal and Localization of China Titanium Dioxide Industry the overall strength has improved significantly. But titanium dioxide industry combined capacity and actual output devices increased substantially, the market oversupply, competition is increasingly fierce, not conducive to the sustainable development of the industry, the state chemical industry Productivity Center Director of the Center for Bi Sheng-white, and other experts recommended that the use of market lever accelerate industry restructuring, and to the scale of intensive development, while enhancing the quality of products and achieve Titanium Dioxide industrial upgrading.
Intensive follow scale of the road

Bi Sheng, China's titanium dioxide production capacity ranks second in the world has been six years, but the entire industry as a whole, in terms of raw materials, process equipment to product quality, or one-lane capacity to enterprise distribution and product mix, almost have no correlation with the production of power. The current continued to show the blossom everywhere uncontrolled expansion of the phenomenon, in fact prejudicial to the industry by large-changing. Industry-wide environmental protection and clean production level is far from being at a satisfactory level, the industrial development of raw materials are not synchronized to a considerable extent, this has hampered the development of titanium dioxide industry.

According to Bi Sheng, in recent years the international trend of industrial development TiO2 production capacity is more focused. Now, the global TiO2 capacity 4.5 million to 4.7 million tons (excluding China), and the world's top five manufacturers an annual capacity of and accounting for 76 percent to 78 percent. At present, apart from the world outside China, a total of only about 20 titanium dioxide producers, the total number of production plants are only 56 to 57. By contrast, China's former five manufacturers and the production of only the national total 26.7 percent, the first 10 delicacies can be accounted for 43.1%, the former 30's delicacies can be accounted for 78.4%, the concentration of production capacity formed with international counterparts a tremendous contrast.

Participating experts generally believe that the development of titanium dioxide industry should conform to international trends and improve concentration, speed up the pace of industry restructuring, the industry reshuffle is inevitable. Only individual producers can increase production to a certain size, can enhance the anti-risk ability, but also can have the basic conditions for long-term development. The upgrading and enterprise scale, can not rely solely on the extension of the new device, the industry combination and reorganization is a more practical choice.

China Coating Industry Association white branch chairman Yao Hengbo, told reporters that TiO2 industry in the past few years to achieve scale, intensive and the improvement of the degree of centralization has been achieved fruitful progress. Pangang taken the lead in organizing a large-scale titanium dioxide mainly to the Titanium Group; some white Guangxi enterprises to assets (equity) as a link established with an annual output of 100,000 tons rutile titanium dioxide post-processing factories in Shandong and the future some enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta may also through investment holding, equity participation and other forms of the implementation of merger or acquisition, integration of a number of small and medium enterprises, and take of scale, market-oriented operation of the road.

Grades and upgrading product quality

National Chemical Industry Productivity Center white centers Tangzhenning the expert team believes that the current production technology to China titanium dioxide mainly sulfuric acid method, the lengthy process, "three wastes" serious pollution; products mainly to anatase, Pigment performance and weatherability worse than rutile, titanium dioxide industry of China in the world in a backward position. White belongs to the "two high a capital" products, continue to lower value-added products line is certainly not feasible. In addition to production of rutile products, Tangzhenning also recommended that the industry should be anatase to rutile start, the adjustment of product structure, the development of chemical fiber with titanium dioxide, mica Pearlescent titanium dioxide, food grade white medicine, catalyst white, high-purity white high value-added products.

It is understood that trades on the grade and quality of products has been growing importance of a clear understanding, and take a variety of measures to be improved. For example, Pangang Titanium years and Steel研院close cooperation with the Pan Yu Titanium Technical College to build R & D center, Shandong Dong Jia introducing high-grade TiO2 anatase chemical fiber production lines, Sichuan Lomon will be more advanced technology at home and abroad, such as integration . In addition to product performance, Tangzhenning also reminded the industry to the stability of performance, because downstream users require different batches of product performance must maintain consistency and stability.

Relying on the development of family resource advantages

China has reserves of the world's leading original rock perovskite, but because this is a multi-element titanium minerals symbiotic nature of the election and mining have a high degree of difficulty separation, mostly iron from the iron and steel industry after the election again in the separation of tailings the vanadium and titanium components, formed steel, vanadium and titanium industry chain. But experts also advise, we should be mindful of the ironmaking blast furnace slag in the future as much as 20% ~ 22% of the titanium-containing ingredients to the recovery. For example, the existing production capacity to Pangang, the day produced 10,000 tons above blast furnace slag, slag year total of more than 300 million tons a year of titanium dioxide from the loss of more than 60 million tons. In recent years, the Panzhihua regional and national research institutions around this part of the recovery of titanium dioxide done a lot of work, initial results have been achieved.

Bi Sheng, in the development of titanium industry, in terms of Panzhihua as an example, with the exception of titanium concentrate, should also focus on deep processing products Titanium Slag and titanium dioxide, as well as titanium tetrachloride and Titanium Sponge. Power will be relatively cheap and abundant resources perovskite combination of acid-soluble development of Titanium Slag will have a unique advantage, Panzhihua which may develop into Australia and Canada similar to the world-renowned high-precision titanium raw material base, and then sulfuric acid law and the chlorination process titanium dioxide production base, together with titanium tetrachloride and Titanium Sponge, and ultimately China is expected to develop into a unique integrated titanium industrial base.

It is understood that the normal production of titanium dioxide enterprises total 67, belonging to 62 producers, the total installed capacity of 1.15 million tons, of which 50,000 to 60,000 tons of non-paint-class products; 2006 actual output 860,000 tons of non-paint-class products accounted for more than 50,000 tons. All parts of the country under construction, design, approval, planning, and other various stages of the new Titanium Dioxide and expansion projects launched at least 30, of which 2007 years be completed and commissioned by five, the annual capacity of 160,000 tons. But in 2007 because of environmental reasons for the shutdown have two production lines, the capacity of 30,000 tons. Therefore, in 2007 TiO2 combined capacity than the previous year net increase of 130,000 tons, the annual output is expected to reach 930,000 to 970,000 tons.
