Why is the heat of chloroacetic acid difficult to retreat in the era of meager profit?

With the rapid development of China's chlor-alkali industry, chloroacetic acid, as one of the major chlorine-consuming products, is increasingly favored by many chlor-alkali enterprises. Although since last year, due to overcapacity triggered a price war, but the energy expansion boom continues to emerge. At the 2007 China Chloroacetic Acid Industry Development Forum 2007 and the establishment of China Chlor-Alkali Industry Association chloroacetic acid professional committee, the author can still hear the voice of enterprise expansion: Pingmei Group Kaifeng Dongda Chemical Co., Ltd. New 2 Million tons of acetic anhydride chloroacetic acid project put into operation immediately, Jiangsu Jinpu North Chlor-Alkali Chemical Co., Ltd., Yancheng Tongtai Chemical Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and other companies have also said they want to build a new expansion of 10,000 tons of chloroacetic acid production line. The era of meager profits for chloroacetic acid products has already arrived. Why can the voice of expanding energy be one after another?
Caustic soda accelerates energy expansion and drives the production of liquid chlorine soars, which stimulates the further expansion of downstream chlorine production capacity. A person in charge of a chlor-alkali company in Jiangsu told the author that the consumption of liquid chlorine and maintaining the balance of alkaline chlorine is the original intention of most chlor-alkali enterprises supporting the construction of a chloroacetic acid production line. As the demand for alumina, paper, monosodium glutamate, chemical and other downstream industries pulled, the scale of caustic soda production expanded rapidly. In 2006, China's caustic soda production capacity was 18.1 million tons, an increase of 23% over the same period of last year, and the output of caustic soda was 15.12 million tons, surpassing the United States to rank first in the world.
According to theoretical calculations, the production of 1 ton of caustic soda produced 0.885 tons of chlorine at the same time, and only produced 13.38 million tons of chlorine gas last year. However, liquid chlorine has a high storage and transportation cost and is dangerous. Liquid chlorine transportation has always been a key monitoring target for the country's logistics control of dangerous goods. Sometimes the increase in transportation costs cannot be passed on smoothly to downstream companies, and even liquid chlorine swells can occur. price drop. For chlor-alkali enterprises to find a way for liquid chlorine, the best solution is to support the production line of chlorine products.
However, a wide range of chlorine products, such as methane chloride, trichloroethylene, chlorobenzene series products, epichlorohydrin, polyvinyl chloride, vinyl chloride, etc. production can consume liquid chlorine, why chlor-alkali enterprises prefer chloroacetic acid? The author understands that the production technology of chloroacetic acid products is relatively mature and the investment is relatively low. More importantly, in the current production process, chloroacetic acid is not as demanding as chlorine for other chlorine-consuming products such as PVC. For example, PVC requires more than 99% of the purity of liquid chlorine. In the production of chloroacetic acid, liquid chlorine is used. The purity can be 70% to 80%. Therefore, the epichloroacetic acid project has become a good strategy for the consumption of chlorine by chlor-alkali enterprises. Even with excess production capacity, the pace of construction of chloroacetic acid projects is difficult to stop.
For other chloroacetic acid producers, the availability of resources in the raw material market, due to the ushering in the golden pig year in the downstream glyphosate market, the domestic potential market for vitamin products started, and the growth of the hydroxymethyl cellulose market accelerated. , The construction of chloroacetic acid plants and the extension to downstream products are also promising.
In general, the expansion of chloroacetic acid in the low-profit era is unabated, and the increase in the production of liquid chlorine by caustic soda expansion is a prerequisite. At the same time, the relatively low quality requirement for liquid chlorine is the driving force behind the promotion of chloroacetic acid production in chlor-alkali enterprises. The pull of downstream consumption is also one of the reasons. However, it is worthy of attention in the industry that, as ancillary products, the improvement of the production process of chloroacetic acid products is difficult to obtain the attention of chlor-alkali enterprises, and independent chloroacetic acid companies also lack sufficient capital investment, resulting in a lower-end product ratio than major Intensified the oligovanetic status of chloroacetic acid products.
