Issue 19/2014 - Successful cost of new green pesticide formulation reduced by 20%

The cost of successful development of new green pesticide formulations is reduced by 20%

Recently, the Guangdong Province major science and technology project "Industrial Development of Special Water-soluble Polymers and Solvent-free New Generation of Energy Saving and Emission Reduction Pesticides" presided over by Professor Zheng Cheng of the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Guangzhou University passed the acceptance
of the Department of Science and Technology of Guangdong Province.
It is reported that after using the project products, the cost of pesticides can be reduced by about
20%.

According to reports, the emulsification system designed and synthesized by the amphiphilic polymer emulsifier can use water as a solvent to replace the highly toxic solvent used in the existing pesticide preparation, which is an environmentally friendly, green and efficient pesticide formulation, which can effectively promote energy conservation and emission reduction in the pesticide industry, and has good practical application value and development prospects
.

"If calculated according to the use of 5% of the products of this project, it can reduce the emission of toxic solvents such as toluene and xylene by 3,000 tons; If calculated according to the amount of pesticide applied per mu of cultivated land of 0.
1 kg, it can reduce the number of polluted cultivated land by 50 million mu
.
Zheng Cheng gave
an example.

It is understood that since the project was supported by the Department of Science and Technology of Guangdong Province in 2009, the project has built an annual output of 250 tons of amphiphilic polymer synthesis production line and its corresponding pesticide new water emulsion, and won 3 national invention patents
.
The annual sales of the invention products of the project can reach 7 million yuan, generating profits and taxes of 1.
5 million yuan
