For many years, scientists have had a dream that one day they will be able to prepare waste carbon dioxide into plastics instead of oil resources to meet people's daily needs.
In November 2007, Jiangsu Zhongke Jinlong Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. was funded by a major science and technology achievement conversion fund of the Science and Technology Department of Jiangsu Province, and an original, high-tech project with the world's leading level "uses carbon dioxide to prepare a fully biodegradable plastic." Break through the key technical problems, established the world's first 10,000 tons of carbon dioxide production with complete intellectual property rights of the production of biodegradable plastic production line, the world's first to achieve the scale of carbon dioxide plasticization and application, make the dream a reality.
This technology has opened up new ways for the recovery and utilization of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, which can solve the problem of carbon dioxide emission reduction in China, and can also ease the pressure caused by the shortage of oil resources. The product can truly achieve full biodegradation, and after large-scale application, it can reduce the harm of “white pollution†to the environment, help eliminate green trade barriers, and improve the international competitiveness of industrial products; at the same time, it solves two major problems that China and the world need to solve. The environmental protection problem meets the national strategic requirements for circular economy and conservation-oriented society.
However, in 2004, the company was still wondering whether it was a matter of rapid industrialization of the project. At that time, the company had just completed the industrial pilot test. Since the pilot test has invested 30 million yuan, as a small and medium-sized private enterprise, the ability to continue large investments is limited. In 2005, with the support of local governments, enterprises participated in the application for the project of the transformation of major scientific and technological achievements in Jiangsu Province. Through the application and evaluation of funds, the enterprises cleared their minds and further recognized the economy of the technology. Social values ​​have prompted enterprises to strengthen their confidence, concentrate their efforts on industrialization, and strive to achieve industrialization at an early date. At the same time, the funding of the 11.7 million yuan in transforming funds for achievements is even more for the benefit of enterprises, solving the company's financial difficulties and reducing corporate risks.
Under the financial support of scientific and technological achievements conversion funds, under the leadership of governments at all levels, enterprises have concentrated all their energies on the scale industrialization research and development work. After two years of technical breakthroughs, they successfully completed various tasks stipulated in the contract, breaking through many The technical bottlenecks, especially in the new polymerization catalysts, synthetic processes, product applications, and market promotion, have achieved major breakthroughs. The world’s first 10,000-ton carbon dioxide resin production line has been built, and the world’s first to achieve the scale of carbon dioxide resin. Production and application. At present, the company has reached the world's leading level in the catalyst synthesis, polymerization process, product application and development. details as follows:
1. A breakthrough in the development of catalysts; The development of new high-efficiency carbon dioxide copolymerization catalysts, which reduce the reaction time to 30% in the industrial production, and increase the carbon dioxide content in the product by 5%, greatly reducing the production cost.
2. Develop a new production process; use a loop reactor instead of a tank reactor to synthesize the resin. When used in large-scale production, the investment cost is about 50% lower than that of the tank reactor, and the product stability is greatly improved. improve.
3, breakthrough in product application development. The Chinese Academy of Sciences Guanghua Institute started its carbon dioxide resin application research from the early 1990s, but only semirigid foams have been developed, and applications are limited to the packaging field. After two years of technological breakthroughs, we have achieved historical breakthroughs in all aspects of biodegradable high-resilience polyurethane foams, biodegradable plastic masterbatches, microcellular polyurethane elastomers, polyurethane leather, elastomers, etc. The problem of product application that has not been resolved for more than ten years has enabled the commercialization of samples.
4. As a result of major breakthroughs in many areas, the company has applied for 8 Chinese patents for inventions, covering catalyst synthesis, resin production equipment, production methods, product specific applications and other aspects to form a complete intellectual property system.
5. In terms of product sales, the company only signed a 4,000-ton sales contract with Fujian Huafu, achieving normalization of production and sales.
Through the implementation of major achievements transformation projects, the quality of enterprises has also been improved, so that enterprises have realized the importance of scientific and technological innovation, and cultivated a group of management, production, research and development and marketing talents with rich theoretical and practical experience to form an echelon. A reasonable and combatable team.
The project has been highly concerned by party and state leaders: Premier Wen Jiabao, Vice Premier Zeng Peiyan, Director Lu Xiangxiang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Director Ma Kai of the National Development and Reform Commission, and Director Xie Zhenhua of the General Administration of Environmental Protection gave important instructions to the project and requested relevant departments to provide support and guidance. .
The Chinese Academy of Sciences also regards this project as the focus of the cooperation between the hospital and the district. In 2005, it invested 3 million yuan to invest in the company. This company became the only non-hospital private enterprise directly invested by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
This achievement has been highly recognized by the academic community. The project has won the second prize for scientific and technological progress in Guangdong Province, the third prize for national environmental protection, the first prize for scientific and technological progress in Taixing, and other honors. The product has won national key new products and high-tech products in Jiangsu Province. Equal title.
The products have also received the attention of global polyurethane giants Bayer, BASF, Zhejiang Huafeng, the leading domestic polyurethane application company, and the world-famous venture capital firm IDG.
At the "2007 Beijing International Energy Conservation Exhibition", as the world's first 10,000-ton scale carbon dioxide-based resin production company, Zhongke Jinlong has received extensive attention. People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency, China Central Television, China Youth Daily, China Business News, Science and Technology Daily, Beijing Evening News, Beijing TV Station and other major domestic media all gave key reports on this project.
At present, the company has formed an annual output of 20,000 tons of biodegradable resin and foam, the production value of 400 million yuan, profits and taxes 70 million yuan of production scale. It is estimated that by 2010, it will form an annual output of 120,000 tons of carbon dioxide-based resin and a production value of 2.4 billion yuan.
