A Industrial Community Cannot Be Ignored—Sidelight on China's Non-metallic Minerals Industry Conference

When well-known brands such as rubber tires, plastic building materials, architectural coatings, and ceramics are widely respected by society, it is difficult for consumers to become familiar with non-metallic mining products that are in the upper reaches of these manufacturing industrial chains and have been subordinate to them. On September 14, at the annual meeting held by the China Non-metallic Mineral Industry Association, delegates generally reflected that today, as the current state advocates the safe and rational use of resources, as a resource industry that holds up many manufacturing industries, it should cause a high degree of social attention.
“Everything starts from the mining industry”, which is a buzzword in the nonmetal mining industry. Indeed, non-metallic mineral materials are inextricably linked to traditional industries such as chemicals, building materials, light industry, and metallurgy, and in particular, 80% of mineral materials are inorganic chemical materials, many of which are used in chemical production. , "Large goods": calcium carbonate, wollastonite, kaolin, talc and other rubber, plastics, adhesives, coatings and other products necessary to fill modified additives, fluorspar, zeolite and other production of fluorine plastics, control process can not be separated The raw and auxiliary materials that are opened, and the non-metallic ore-modified chemical materials used in cutting-edge fields such as military and aerospace, are all too numerous to mention, and their usage is also considerable. In 2005, the output of plastic products, rubber products and coatings could reach 25 million tons, 12 million tons and 5 million tons, respectively. The demand for non-metallic mineral fillers will reach 3.75 million tons, 1.8 million tons, and 750,000 tons, respectively. . This shows only the tip of the iceberg in the chemical industry.
Zhang Zhan, chairman of the China Non-Metallic Mineral Industry Association, is well aware of the well-established “finished house” of the non-metallic mineral industry in China: With over 100 million tons of output, the reserves are unique in the world and occupy a large proportion in the international market. However, he expressed concern about various non-mining industrial communities scattered throughout the country: resources were dug and dug, enterprises were too small, and too many products were repeatedly developed at low levels, and there was a clear gap between quality and foreign countries. In particular, due to the current low level of non-metallic mineral processing technology in China, among the large number of non-metallic mineral products exported, cheap raw ore and primary products still account for a large proportion, and the phenomenon of “lower-than-high-income” is more serious.
China's graphite production and export volume is the largest in the world, and it is widely used in the chemical industry. In 2004, the import price of graphite products exceeded the export price by 38 times. It was used in kaolin for coatings. The import price was nearly 10 times that of ore, fluorite, talc, etc. Many kinds of minerals also have the same problem. On the one hand, we have to export a lot of cheap ore, on the other hand, we have to buy processed products at a high price. On the other hand, we lose a lot more than just money and we lose it. limited resources.
Scholars and experts from institutions proposed that changing the status quo of first-class ore, second-rate processing, and third-rate products urgently requires a meticulous development. Improve the grade and technical content of non-metallic mineral products, explore and enhance product features and application performance, to meet the structural upgrading of traditional chemical products, high-tech chemical products, the need for outstanding features, it is possible to make the non-metallic mineral industry stronger and bigger.
The current shortage of oil resources, the international high oil prices directly affect the petrochemical industry chain, as the downstream industry backed by good trees, like the cool, as non-metallic mineral-related industries, forming a win-win strategic alliance, become non-metallic minerals and related industries The hot topics of the home. The technical advantages of the domestic fluorine chemical enterprises and the resource advantages of the fluorite mine enterprises come to a cross-industry alliance or reorganization, and the foreign fluorine plastics manufacturers will make a lot of money; the price of petroleum resin will soar, and the rubber and plastic enterprises will choose to manufacture. Strong, relatively low-cost filled modified non-metallic mineral products, under the premise of ensuring product performance, increase the filling volume, reduce costs, improve the "cost-effective", there is no lack of a very economical way to survive.
A new five-year plan is coming. The rapid development of the industrial economy is bound to result in a greater reliance on resources. In the product value chain formed by non-metallic mineral resources and many manufacturing industries such as chemical industry, light industry, textile, and metallurgy, unlimited demand and limited resources will inevitably create a new pattern of “strive for upstream” resource competition in all walks of life.
