In the Zhijin Chemical Industrial Park, on a land of nearly 6000 acres, the roar of machines is heralding the landing of a super investment.

Key equipment 'heart' positioning

Recently, Cangliang Company, a subsidiary of China National Chemical Equipment Technology Co., Ltd., successfully won the bid to provide the core mechanical ventilation cooling tower equipment for the first phase of the 450000 ton hydrogen peroxide plant. The supplier of this "cooling heart" is not small, and Cangliang Company is the only high-tech industrial cooling technology and equipment enterprise in China that has won the National Science and Technology Progress Award. This winning bid is not only a reflection of its technical strength, but also a successful practice of the project's general contractor, China Chemical Tianchen Engineering Company, in implementing the concept of "mutual support, collaborative development, and win-win cooperation among enterprises" within the group.

This may seem like an ordinary equipment purchase, but its significance is profound. The cooling tower that won the bid this time serves a hydrogen peroxide device using advanced anthraquinone technology, and its products are key raw materials for the production of new energy battery materials such as lithium iron phosphate. The reliability and efficiency of equipment are directly related to the stable operation of the subsequent industrial chain. The first phase of the project is scheduled to be completed and put into operation on June 30, 2026. With tight deadlines and heavy tasks, precise coordination at every stage is crucial.

73 billion investment decomposition and implementation

How did this' giant 'project attract attention from all parties? Let's break down its grand blueprint. The entire project is divided into three phases of construction, and currently the first phase is being intensively promoted with an investment of approximately 24.3 billion yuan. The core facilities planned and constructed in the first phase are impressive, including 500000 tons/year iron phosphate, 300000 tons/year lithium iron phosphate, supporting 800000 tons/year sulfur based sulfuric acid production, 400000 tons/year pyrite based sulfuric acid production, 300000 tons/year wet process phosphoric acid, 2 million tons/year phosphate mining and beneficiation units, as well as 2 × 350 MW condensing power generation units. From phosphate mining and selection, to sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid manufacturing, and finally to the new energy positive electrode material lithium iron phosphate, the project aims to form a complete internal circulation industry chain in the first phase.

The design of "integrated, circular, and green phosphorus coal chemical industry" is the essence of the project. It deeply couples traditional phosphorus coal chemical industry with the manufacturing of new energy materials, converting potential waste into raw materials for the next stage, greatly improving resource utilization and reducing environmental pollution, with the goal of achieving the organic unity of ecological and economic benefits. After the completion of all projects, this place will become a model for the deep processing of China's phosphate coal chemical resources and the extension of the industrial chain.

Three giants form a strong alliance

Supporting such a huge dream are three powerful investors behind it. They are not simply financial investments, but deeply empowered with their respective industrial advantages.

Qingshan Group: the world's largest strategic resource mining and stainless steel production enterprise in nickel, chromium, and other areas. Its abundant resource control and scale advantages provide stable metal raw material guarantees and strong capital support for projects.

Huafeng Group: the world's largest producer of adipic acid, with extensive experience in chemical material manufacturing, large-scale production and operation, and industrial chain management.

Huayou Holdings: a leading global enterprise in the field of new energy lithium battery materials, with a deep understanding and extensive channels in the downstream market, which is the guarantee for the ultimate realization of product value.

The three strong teams work together, each showcasing their strengths, with clear and firm strategic goals - relying on Guizhou's abundant resources such as phosphorus and coal, to build the world's largest production base for lithium iron phosphate. Against the backdrop of the current global wave of automotive electrification and the explosion of the energy storage industry, lithium iron phosphate, as one of the mainstream cathode materials, continues to experience a surge in market demand. The completion of this project will greatly enhance China's supply guarantee capability and international market competitiveness in the field of new energy materials.Editor/Yang Meiling
