中国磷化工月报

In June 2014, China’s phosphorus market is not so satisfactory, which is particularly obvious seen in its export of phosphate fertilizers in Q1 2014. Generally speaking, under the situation that phosphate fertilizers are in great demand worldwide, China’s export of phosphate fertilizers increases in volume but decreases in price instead of going with the stream that volume and price are increased together. Because of the serious overcapacity of the domestic phosphate fertilizers and continuous pressure on price from abroad, China still keeps its way to promoting with a low price in Q1 2014 and this situation is hard to change in a short period. It is predicted that in the “window phase” of export (from May to Oct.) in 2014, China’s overall export of phosphate fertilizers will still stay in a trend of increasing export volume but sliding export price.

In this report, CCM focused on the analysis of recycling phosphorus ore and attached importance in the comprehensive utilization of reverse floatation on phosphorus ore tailings by Wengfu Group and the phosphogypsum by Hanzhong Yuandong. It is disclosed that Wengfu Group came up with an idea that producing filling materials of compound fertilizers by the usage of the tailings of phosphorus ore to achieve the goal of utilizing the tailings of phosphorus ore and the acidic wastewater in phosphoric acid plants as resources. This measure improves the particle formation rate and physical properties of the compound fertilizers and to reduce the production cost of the compound fertilizers. And Hanzhong Yuandong cooperates with Shanxin Zhongyu to recover phosphate and sulfate ion in phosphogysum after neutralization and modification and transfer them to several cement plants for comprehensive utilization, which saves a great amount of funds to deal with phosphogysum. This will help the company put more funds into the development of phosphorus chemical industry to strengthen its own competitiveness.

Besides, CMM laid stress on the progress of some projects in the phosphorus industry in June 2014. That China’s only phosphate ore engineering center successfully passed examination and that Guiyang Test Base of Quality Supervision and Inspection Center of China is to be completed in June 2014 are included in the attention. All these symbolize that China is enhancing its strength in supervising the quality of phosphorus, which promotes the development of high-quality and fine phosphorus products.
