Domestic isoprene has achieved large-scale production, eliminating the raw material bottleneck restricting the development of iso-pentylene rubber. , Isoprene rubber technology development and application of full speed. The commissioning of these two projects has filled the gap that China is unable to produce isoprene rubber. So far all of China's seven major synthetic rubber products have achieved industrialization.

● Carbon fiber core technology success

On the eve of “51” in 2010, Harbin Tianshun Chemical Technology Development Co., Ltd. independently designed and built a pilot production line with an annual output of 20 tons of high-performance polyacrylonitrile carbon fiber precursors. The products meet the requirements of the international high-performance carbon fiber standards and overcome A number of key technical problems that have impeded the quality of carbon fiber materials in China have been eliminated.

In May 2010, the research and development project of carbon fiber and key equipment completed by Lianyungang Zhongsu Shenying Carbon Fiber Co., Ltd. passed the national appraisal, which indicates that China has successfully realized the localization and industrialization of carbon fiber, completely breaking the long-term carbon fiber market in developed countries. monopoly.

In addition, as the earliest domestic R&D and production unit for carbon fiber, the 100-ton production line of CNPC Jilin Chemical Co., Ltd. is currently stable in production, and it has mastered the 1,000-ton scale-up technology and is planning to build a 1,000-ton/year production line.

● The world's first coal oxalic acid plant successfully tested

In mid-May 2010, Inner Mongolia Tongliao Gold and Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. 100,000 tons / year coal oxalic acid project to achieve linkage test, all the oxalic acid production line processes open up, and successfully try to produce qualified oxalic acid products. This marked that the world's first coal-based oxalic acid plant has been successfully industrialized.

The successful application of coal oxalic acid technology has effectively reduced the production cost of oxalic acid while stretching the coal chemical industry chain.

● A key step in the industrialization of coalbed methane

The low-quality coal-bed non-precious metal resistant deoxidation catalyst and technological achievements developed by the Southwest Research and Design Institute of Chemical Industry, China, were identified by experts from Sichuan Science and Technology Department in May 2010. This technology has broken through the bottleneck of the safe utilization of coalbed methane and filled the blank of catalytic deoxidation technology for CBM at home and abroad. It is of great significance for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing the occurrence of gas accidents in coal mines, promoting the comprehensive utilization of coalbed methane, and alleviating the shortage of natural gas in China. .

● Salt Lake solid potassium mining technology support

Qinghai Salt Lake Industry Group Co., Ltd. is responsible for the dissolution test and engineering research of the solid potassium mine in the Qarhan Salt Lake. In June 2010, it passed the review of experts such as Academician Zheng Mianping of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Experts agreed that this achievement will provide reliable resource protection for stable production of potassium potash and increase production capacity of the Salt Lake Group and is of great significance to the sustainable development of the potash fertilizer industry in China.

Chaerhan Salt Lake is the largest soluble potassium and magnesium salt mine in the country. Due to the limitations of existing mining technologies, liquid potassium mining has only been possible since the 1980s, while solid potassium minerals with larger reserves have been unable to carry out direct mining because of their low grade, high number of layers, and thin thickness. Technology breaks this barrier.

● Domestic chloralkali ion membrane breakthrough in foreign countries**

Shandong Dongyue Group has developed chlor-alkali ion membranes after eight years of research and successfully applied its 10,000-ton chlor-alkali equipment at the end of June 2010. China is the world's largest chlor-alkali producer, but the key materials for the electrolysis of chloralkali core equipment have previously been monopolized by the United States, Japan, and other countries, implementing technology for China. This shows that China's chlor-alkali ion membrane has been used to achieve localization and the bottleneck that restricts the development of the chlor-alkali industry has thus been broken.

● Large thrust reciprocating compressor fills the gap
