On September 8, Zhengtai New Materials held a production capacity achievement ceremony for its titanium dioxide and iron oxide project, utilizing a solvent extraction method with an annual output of 200,000 tons. Over a hundred guests attended the event. This moment not only symbolizes China’s innovation and breakthroughs in the global manufacturing arena but also revolutionizes a century-old titanium dioxide production process and technology.
Investors and partners from Kuncai Technology visited Zhengtai New Materials, where Dr. Cao Zhicheng, the company’s Technical Director, led a tour of the titanium dioxide and iron oxide production lines. They observed every production stage up close, from the initial process of ore leaching to the final product packaging. Through interactive discussions and technical explanations, the guests gained a deep understanding of the transformative significance of the solvent extraction method.
As bags of titanium dioxide emerged in an orderly fashion from the two production lines, each with an annual output of 200,000 tons, the attendees witnessed this milestone breakthrough in the production capacity achievement of the titanium dioxide and iron oxide project utilizing the solvent extraction method.
At the ceremony, Mr. Xie Bingkun, Chairman of Kuncai Technology, reflected on the remarkable transformation of Zhengtai New Materials over the past four years. On a vast expanse of land, numerous workshops have been built, and after countless bright nights, the company has gradually become an important player in the global titanium dioxide industry. The recently signed letter of intent for the investment framework agreement on the vanadium-titanium resource base project will effectively aid Kuncai in attracting high-quality overseas mineral resources, enhancing the company’s overall competitiveness in the vanadium, titanium, and iron supply chain.
Dr. Cao Zhicheng, the Technical Director of the company, provided a brief introduction to the Mapochs Mine project in South Africa. He stated that the unique hydrochloric acid extraction method allows for the maximized utilization of locally available mineral resources. The project is planned for a long-term capacity of processing 6 million tons of raw ore per year, with an expected output of 5 million tons of titanium concentrate. In conclusion, he presented specific characterization and application data, demonstrating that the titanium dioxide and iron oxide products produced via the hydrochloric acid extraction method have reached international top-tier standards.
