    On July 1, Henan Energy held a groundbreaking ceremony for the first phase of the 300,000-ton/year MMA (methyl methacrylate) project in Puyang Park, marking the official start of construction of the first domestic new-type ionic liquid-catalyzed ethylene-based MMA industrialization plant
    .

    It is understood that the project is jointly funded and constructed by Zhongyuan Dahua Company, Puyang Financial Holding Co.
    , Ltd.
    , and Puyang Economic and Technological Development Zone Urban Construction Investment Co.
    , Ltd.
    , and is constructed and operated by Henan Zhongke Puyuan New Materials Co.
    , Ltd.
    The total investment of the first phase of the project is 997 million yuan.
    Yuan, the registered capital is 330 million Yuan
    .

    Introduction of MMA New Technology

    According to reports, the project adopts the new ionic liquid-catalyzed ethylene-based MMA technology provided by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
    Using ethylene, carbon monoxide, hydrogen and methanol as raw materials, it undergoes hydroformylation reaction, aldol condensation reaction, aldehyde oxidation reaction, and esterification reaction.
    And the refining process produces MMA and by-product propionaldehyde
    .

    The industrialized device was jointly developed and completed by the Institute of Processes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Henan Energy Group Research Institute, and Zhongyuan Dahua Company after ten years of hard work.
    In March 2019, it passed the scientific and technological appraisal organized by the Petrochemical Federation
    .

    This technology belongs to the first domestic process, breaking the foreign technology monopoly, with completely independent intellectual property rights, obvious economic advantages, clean process, green environmental protection, reaching the international leading level
    .

    MMA market has a bright future

    MMA is a high-tech product.
    The downstream products are mainly PMMA, surface coatings, and PVC modifiers.
    They can be used to manufacture plexiglass (PMMA), coatings, lubricant additives, etc.
    The manufactured plexiglass (PMMA) is Liquid crystal display light guide plates, LED lamps and high-end fields such as automotive lenses and exterior decoration have been widely used; in addition, MMA is also an indispensable unit for the production of aerospace glass, optical fibers, high-performance optical lenses, electronic information devices and other major national strategic materials.
