Fluorite is the Main Front-end Raw Material for Fluorine Chemical Products

The fluorine chemical industry chain starts with fluorite, the middle and upper reaches are mainly hydrofluoric acid and aluminum fluoride, etc., and extends into four categories: fluorine refrigerants, fluorine-containing polymers, fluorine-containing fine chemicals and inorganic fluorides, and end products.

It is a refrigerant for air conditioners and automobiles, a new industrial fluorine-containing material, and an extremely important electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid in the field of semiconductors. In other words, fluorite is the main front-end raw material for fluorine chemical products.

As a precious and non-renewable strategically scarce resource, fluorite was listed in my country's "Strategic Mineral Catalogue" in 2016. Among them, the acid grade fluorite fine powder is mainly used as the raw material of the fluorine chemical industry chain, and has an irreplaceable position in the fluorine chemical industry.

The main downstream application of fluorite is hydrofluoric acid. Hydrofluoric acid is an aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride (chemical formula: HF), and its azeotrope with water contains 38% (mass fraction) HF. It is a weak acid and is a hazardous chemical. Its production process requires high environmental protection and safety requirements high.

Hydrofluoric acid is the most important intermediate of fluorine chemical industry, mainly used in the production of organic fluorine chemical products, accounting for about 63%. Further processing can form fluorine-containing polymers and fluorine-containing fine chemicals.

The downstream covers refrigerants, fluorine rubber, fluorine resins, aluminum fluoride, fluorine-containing fine chemicals, etc., among which the production of refrigerants is the main one.

In terms of industry development trends, high-end fluororubber, fluoropolymer, and fluorine fine chemical industries have become the key directions for the development of the chemical industry in the future, and related sub-sectors and upstream and downstream industries enjoy a number of national incentives.

In addition, industries such as fluorinated pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and fluorinated electronic chemicals are all industries encouraged by the state and are in line with the guidance of national industrial policies.

As the supply-side structural reform continues to deepen, the industry competition pattern tends to be concentrated, and downstream demand resumes steady growth, the third-generation refrigerants are expected to usher in an inflection point of business reversal.

In addition, with the continuous deepening of application fields such as high-performance and high-value-added fluorine products in the next few years, the momentum of rapid development of my country's fluorine chemical industry is expected to continue.

Zhongang Mining Architect Liu Jinhai analyzed that fluorite, as the starting point of the fluorine chemical industry chain, plays a pivotal role in the production of fluorine chemicals. Zhongang Mining owns three fluorite mineral resources, and has gradually provided a large amount of high-quality fluorite resources for industrial production.

Zhongang Mining Group takes the corporate mission of consolidating national strength and helping the country and enriching the people's dream; it takes everyone's investment as the enterprise, and the enterprise makes profits for everyone; everyone contributes to the enterprise, and the enterprise makes profits for everyone as its business philosophy; it has established a number of fluorite An alliance of industry targets to create a fluorite industry chain complex!

Fluorine chemical industry is an advantageous industry with characteristic resources in my country, and its industrial level has a high status in the world. In recent years, my country's production of fluorine chemical basic and general products accounts for more than 55% of the world's total, and it has become the world's largest producer and seller of fluorine chemical products. Usher in long-term development opportunities.
