East China’s Jiangsu province has stepped up the construction of major investment projects and ensured their smooth progress through every possible effort so as to fulfill goals for social and economic development. JSBC has the story.
Lianyungang Petrochemical Green Chemical New Materials Industrial Park, a provincial-level major project, has put into full operation its polystyrene and ethanolamine plants.
The carbonate unit and supporting dioxide recovery unit will be put into operation in the third quarter, ensuring that the first stage of phase I project will be fully put into operation, which will help reduce carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 100 million standard cubic meters annually.
“We have undergone further processing of ethylene oxide and styrene, enriching the entire product chain and diversifying our products”, Xu Qingshan, Manager of the Production Technology Department of the Lianyungang Petrochemical Green Chemical New Materials Industrial Park Project, said.
In addition, a 300000-ton carbon dioxide recovery device recovers the carbon dioxide emitted by the upstream device and supplies raw materials to the carbonate unit, thereby achieving carbon sequestration and reduction.
The entire green chemistry new material project uses styrene produced by satellite chemistry upstream devices as raw material to produce polystyrene, directly targeting high-end home appliance production.
The production of ethanolamine from ethylene oxide will be widely used as a high-end surfactant. Carbonate esters will be used as electrolytes for lithium batteries. This project has extended the enterprise's product chain, and increased the added value of products in a bid to steadily promote the vertical diversified development of products in the fine chemical industry sector.
In the Yunlong Lake Laboratory of Deep Earth Science and Engineering, a major provincial project located in Xuzhou, long corridors connect chambers and lay out various experimental platforms of the laboratory with pre-acceptance completed for the overall construction of the laboratory.
“The experimental base has set up the main screen of the data hall and we are promoting the improvement of the functions in the second phase. With the seven sub-platforms of the four comprehensive experimental platforms planned for construction in the first phase installed, the Yunlong Lake Laboratory has launched the second phase platform planning. A second demonstration of the optimized plan will be organized in the near future”, Ling Yunzhi, Vice Minister of Strategic Planning Department of Yunlong Lake Laboratory for Deep Earth Science and Engineering, said.
The Deep Earth Science and Engineering Yunlong Lake Laboratory, inaugurated on October 22, 2021, is a major scientific and technological innovation platform established by China University of Mining and Technology and other institutions.
At present, Yunlong Lake Laboratory is responsible for overseeing over 20 national, provincial, and municipal scientific research projects by focusing on precise exploration of deep space and collaborative development of resources. In the future, the laboratory will increase research and development of scientific and technological projects, accelerate the construction of scientific research platforms, expand the depth and breadth of scientific and technological achievements transformation, and steadily advance towards the role of the main force undertaking major national tasks and the international cutting-edge science center.
