The first coal-based MMA project with independent intellectual property rights in China was successfully produced

On July 28, in Yiwu Industrial Park, Xinjiang Zhongyou Puhui Technology Co.
, Ltd.
held a product launch ceremony for the methyl methacrylate (MMA) project (phase one) with an annual output of 110,000 tons of new polymer synthesis materials, marking the The first coal-based MMA production process route with completely independent intellectual property rights in China has been successfully operated, breaking the technological monopoly of the Western countries on the petrochemical MMA route since then
.

MMA project with an annual output of 110,000 tons

The project will be settled in Yiwu Industrial Park in 2020.
It is planned to invest about 980 million yuan and will be constructed in two stages
.
The first phase of the MMA project with an annual output of 10,000 tons was completed at the end of March this year and entered the trial production stage.
Through continuous debugging, on July 28, the first batch of products were successfully produced for the first launch
.

Methyl methacrylate is a high value-added basic chemical raw material that is in short supply in the market.
It is mainly used in the manufacture of various polymers and copolymers.
It has a wide range of uses and a large market demand
.
There are two main uses of methyl methacrylate in China.
One is PMMA acrylic sheet, which is used in advertising, decoration and furniture production
.
Another use is additive particles, such as taillights for cars and battery cars, all paints and coatings
.

It is understood that the main process technologies of the methyl methacrylate (MMA) industry in the world are the acetone cyanohydrin method and the ethylene method
.
The raw materials used by the former contain highly toxic materials, while the key technologies of the latter are monopolized by Western countries, resulting in the need to import more than 30% of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in China, which seriously restricts the development of related industries
.

Xinjiang Zhongyou Puhui Technology Co.
, Ltd.
has an annual output of 110,000 tons of new polymer synthesis material methyl methacrylate (MMA) project using the coal-based (C1 method) MMA process developed by the Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The main raw material is methanol.
It is easy to obtain, has low production cost, belongs to a clean process, and has obvious environmental protection benefits
.
The coal-based MMA production process has no waste water and pollutant discharge, and is clean and environmentally friendly
.
Compared with the traditional process, the cost of producing one ton may be saved by about 20% to 30%
.

The second phase of the 100,000-ton MMA project is about to start construction

In the next step, the company will start the construction of a MMA project with an annual output of 100,000 tons.
After the 110,000-ton polymer synthesis new material methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer project is completed, it will become the country's largest coal-based MMA monomer production base.
At the same time, it will drive the development of downstream industrial chains such as PMMA, coatings, and adhesives.
By the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan", after the completion of the third-phase projects (700,000 tons of MMA and downstream products), an industrial cluster with an annual output value of 20 billion will be formed
