The Localization of Ultra-High-Purity Aluminum and its Alloy Coating Materials Promotes the Development of Tungsten Heater

Due to a high melting point and high corrosion resistance, tungsten heater is widely used in vacuum aluminizing. With the rapid development of electronic information market, high-performance chips, the new display and other electronic devices market has a good development space. The key support of electronics manufacturing is a thin film material, and because of the lower resistivity, and it is easy to deposit, and the mature technology and other excellent characteristics, a thin aluminum film has become core material for integrated circuits, discrete devices, liquid crystal display and other related fields. Compared to developed countries, the time of the development of ultra-high purity aluminum and its alloys evaporation material is relatively late, there is still a certain gap to well-known international companies in process maturity and industry development. Although China is one of the largest countries for reserves of tungsten resources in the world, but due to the immaturity of the technology, tungsten heater cannot satisfy domestic market in vacuum aluminizing. As a result of it, most buyers have to import products from abroad, which would not only time consuming but also a greater cost.

Vacuum aluminizing has the feature of plastic film and the properties of the metal. The function of vacuum aluminizing is that it can prevent ultraviolet ray, which prolongs quality guarantee period and improves the brightness and perception of film.

Severe Economic Situation Causes a Slow Growth of Tungsten Market (Tungsten Heater)

tungsten heaterIn recent years, China's economic situation is not optimistic, not only China, the global economy is in the doldrums, although China's GDP is still growing, but the growth rate has declined for five years, and it is likely to continue declining in next few years. After years of rapid economic growth, the current slow growth is a normal phenomenon. Peking University scholars believe that China is undergoing historic economic restructuring. In this tough economy condition, businesses and individuals need to do the pre-judgment for the future development. In addition, the continuous depreciation of the RMB has a great impact on the domestic economy.

What are the main reasons for the decline of China's current economy? Professor of Economics Hai Wen said that the first reason is a long-term trend. The growth of a country's economic cannot always keep 10% of high growth. On the other hand, the second reason is now China is now facing macroeconomic cycle. This recession is still a continuation of the 2009 recession. It can be seen from the tungsten market a few months ago that the price is fluctuating and most buyers have been kept wait-and-see attitude for a long time, resulting in the overall trading volume of whole tungsten market (tungsten heater) is in decline. While China's GDP growth rate has slowed compared to previous years, China's economy still has a great potential for development. Because China is in the take-off stage of economic, and the development potential is from the four areas, including services, urbanization, technology, innovation and manufacturing industry and the new developed space to brought by " The Belt and Road Initiative ". With the development of science and technology, it is believed that there will be more room for the development of China's economy in the future. Therefore, the tungsten market will be better soon.

Further Enhance of Tungsten Ore Exploration would Influence Tungsten Heater

tungsten heaterMineral resources are non-renewable resources, due to its limited reserves, China has strengthen the control of it in recent years. It is an important material basis for the development of social production, and production and life of modern society have already cannot separate with mineral resources. Moreover, China is currently in the mid-industrialization, the demand of mineral resources is increasing. China Mining News reported that the Ministry of Land and Resources of the People’s Republic of China made it clear in the near future that China will further strengthen the exploration and protection of important mineral resources. Land and Resources issued the “Land Resources ‘Thirteen Five’ Plan” which focus on the implementation of effective control of mining tungsten, rare earth ions, etc., strictly limiting the development of minerals and tailings resources which cannot be reasonably used, so that it can avoid the destruction and the waste of resources. Strictly managing development access of mineral resources, improving entry barriers of environmental protection, technology, investment, efficiency of resource use and others.

Although China is one of the biggest tungsten ore reserves countries in the world, but because of irrational exploitation and utilization, leading to the depletion of mineral resources. This regulation has the impact on the tungsten market. On the one hand, it would limit the production of the tungsten heater to a certain extent, and now it can ease the problem of oversupply of tungsten market. On the other hand, this plan can improve the development and utilization of mineral resources, protection China’s mineral resources. With the development of China's industrialization process, environmental pollution has also increased year by year, haze, acid rain and other natural disasters annually cause some damage to economy and the environment. This strengthening of controls will slow down the pollution of the environment to some extent.

The meeting was held in Chaozhou, enterprises who attended the meeting own more than 27 tungsten mine, and the production of tungsten concentrate is more than 50% of domestic production, so the market is accustomed to call these eight tungsten mining enterprises as "Eight Tungsten Enterprises". Recently, economic situation in China is in a depressed state, and tungsten market is also in turmoil. China's mainstream tungsten enterprises have been facing serious losses and the loss of strategic raw materials for 2 years. During this period, China's mainstream tungsten enterprises continue to take positive action to keep market stability, which save the critical situation of tungsten market.

tungsten heaterThe convening of the meeting could help restore confidence of private tungsten enterprises, and the leading of those large tungsten enterprises will directly has a significant impact on the private enterprises. Some effective policies put forward in the meeting, such as limited production, support value, restricted sales and other measures, which will greatly save the current sluggish state of the market. Eight tungsten enterprises reached an agreement in this meeting agreed to make that would reverse the declining situation of tungsten market.

As a national rare earth resource, China will introduce some relevant policies for tungsten, continuing to promote the steady development of tungsten market. The volume of tungsten has been continuing to reduce for a long time. This the third meeting likes fuel delivered in the snow, tungsten prices are expected to rise to a certain extent, but the possibility of a sharp rise is relatively small. Prices of tungsten heater and other related products will also increase. All in all, these three meetings will directly promote the future development of the tungsten market.

Beijing Held Third Party Industrial VOCs Governance Policy Seminar, Tungsten Trioxide Photocatalyst Handle VOC

June 15th, the third party industrial VOCs governance policy seminar which organized by the State Environmental Protection petrochemical industry VOCs Pollution Control Engineering Technology Center and the National Federation of Chamber of Commerce held in Beijing, in-depth discussed the status quo of VOCs market, analyzed the existing problems of development in this industry, and made recommendations for a number of system construction stage of industrial VOCs third-party governance and management.
 
The important means of controlling VOCs during the Thirteen Five period is "comprehensive treatment + oil and gas recovery + source control." During the Thirteen Five period, China predicts to carry out a comprehensive improvement of VOCs in the petrochemical, organic chemicals, surface coating, packaging, printing and other industries. In China, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), refers to the all volatile organic compound corresponding which saturated vapor pressure at room temperature, and greater than 70 Pa, an organic compound having a boiling point at atmospheric pressure below 260 ℃ or under 20 ℃ condition vapor pressure greater than or equal to 10 Pa.

VOCs governance policy seminar photocatalyst removes formaldehyde
 
After years of research, photocatalytic technology to governance VOCs has been large-scale used in the China industrial waste-gas fields, and constantly improve the industry to form a series of organic light catalytic exhaust gas purification device. Studies have shown that the tungsten trioxide photocatalyst is a very effective catalyst to governance VOCs, which can eventually break down the volatile organic compounds into harmless carbon dioxide and water under the action of light. Thus, the photocatalyst has the functions like strong sterilization, deodorant, anti-mildew, air purification. In particular, the composite tungsten trioxide photocatalyst, such as doped ceria, yttria, lattices of tungsten trioxide itself have changed due to the contamination of other metallic elements, the advantageously combination with the composite metal enhanced photocatalytic activity. However, the doping amount of the metal should not be too much, otherwise it may be counterproductive, on the contrary, it will lower photocatalytic activity of the photocatalyst.

WO3 is a yellow tungsten oxide with many unique properties, such as: photochromic, gas properties, catalytic, and so on, as an additive of denitration catalyst to primarily play the role of anti-sulfide, anti-sintering of carrier.

 

China Allocated 17.2 Billion RMB to Govern Heavy Metal Pollution, Tungsten Trioxide Photocatalyst Enrichs Metal Ion

In June 14th, China State Council Information Office announced the "<National Human Rights Action Plan (2012-2015)> Implement assessment report", in the section of "environmental rights" it pointed out that:
1. China modified the Environmental Protection Act, which strengthen citizen's right to know, and perfect public interest litigation system, strengthen the system of accountability;
2. In the period of 6 years from 2010 to 2015, the central finance allocated 17.2 billion RMB to support the governing of heavy metal pollution, and achieved good results. Compared to 2007, in 2014, the national emissions of the focused five heavy metals which are lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium and metalloid of arsenic decreased by 20%; besides, heavy metal pollution incidents decreased from more than 10 cases per year of 2010 - 2011 on average to less than 3 cases of 2012-2015 the annual average;
3. The capacity of the water pollution treatment has been enhanced;
4. Air pollution governing intensified.
 
The original meaning of heavy metal refers to the metal which the specific weight is greater than 5 (The metal with density greater than 4.5 grams per cubic centimeter), including gold, silver, copper, iron and lead ect.. Heavy metal pollution refers to the environmental pollution caused by the heavy metals or their compounds, mainly caused by human factors mining, emissions, waste water for irrigation and use of heavy metals exceeded products. The heavy metal discharged with wastewater, although the concentration is very small, it can accumulate in sediments and algae, adsorbed on the surface of fish and shellfish, thus to generate food chain concentrated and become a public disaster.

photocatalyst water purification and heavy metal pollution
 
Photocatalyst can well solve the problem of chromium, mercury, lead, cadmium and other metal ions pollution. Its photocatalytic reduction can be divided into three types:
1. Photocatalytic reduction to remove toxic metal ions;
2. Photocatalytic deposition to recover precious metals;
3. Photocatalytic deposition to load metal, thus to improve activity of photocatalyst.
 
Tungsten trioxide is a photocatalyst with excellent performance, which responses to visible light, rather than only rely on ultraviolet light. Tungsten trioxide photocatalyst has a strong adsorption for metal ions, furthermore, with the light intensity increasing, the precipitation of metal ions accelerated noticeably. In addition, the outstanding advantage of photocatalytic reaction like tungsten trioxide photocatalyst is that it can be applied into a very dilute solution, to play a role of potently concentrating metal ions. Meanwhile, as a catalyst, it does not consume itself, and can be put into use after the separation of metal through an appropriate process.

 

Ninth Shanghai International Water Exhibition Grand Opening, Tungsten Trioxide Photocatalyst as Magical Water Treatment Weapon

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimated that in 2025, 2.8 billion people in the world will be lacking of drinking water. For this reason, in 2015, Japan had developed a new photocatalytic purification technology, which is expected to solve the problem of thirsty of world's 2.8 billion people. The representatively conventional photocatalyst is titanium dioxide; the technology is already quite mature. However, since the titanium dioxide responds only to ultraviolet light, its application restricted to some extent. 
 
Tungsten trioxide not only has a good performance of excellent catalytic hydrogenation deoxygenation, oxidation, etc., but also has the excellent properties of photochromic and gas sensitivity. The inorganic pollutants which photocatalytic can degrade including: nitrate radical, sulfite root, sulfur dioxide, NO and so on. The study found that the tungsten trioxide photocatalyst has ideal catalytic degradation on the wastewater which contains sulfite root, sulfur ions, iodine ions and nitrate radical. In addition, the tungsten trioxide photocatalyst can also solve the pollutions of metal ions like chromium, mercury, and lead, to achieve the effect of purifying water quality. Therefore, tungsten trioxide photocatalyst becomes a “Magical Weapon” for handling polluted water, since then, Water Girl would have been "Excessive Magnificence washed".

 

Beijing Introduced Low Nitrogen Transformation Subsidy, Tungsten Trioxide Denitration Catalyst Boosts Emission Reduction

June 4, approved by the Beijing Municipal Government, Environmental Protection Bureau, Finance Bureau, Quality and Technical Supervision of Beijing Municipal jointly issued the "Beijing Gas (oil) boiler low nitrogen transformation instead the subsidy of reward funding management rule"(hereinafter referred to as the" Rules "), which subsidizes the gas (oil) boiler low nitrogen transformation project, helps to further reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides, promotes the implementation of the clean air action plan to accelerate the improvement of air quality.

denitrification system and tungsten trioxide
 
Atmospheric pollution is mainly coming from the emissions and life pollution emissions which brought out from rigid demand of running city. The key of the air pollution control is nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds and coal-fired (VOC). Reducing the concentration of nitrogen oxides is an urgent need and the only way to improve air quality, while the low nitrogen transformation is a hard task for the implementation of new air pollution emission standards for boilers. In recent years, selective catalytic reduction flue gas denitrification technology (SCR) developed rapidly, and has been widely used in Europe and Japan; currently, the flue gas catalytic reduction denitration technology is the most widely used.
 
At present, the popular SCR processes worldwide are two kinds of SCR of ammonia and urea method. Both methods are occurred under the presence of a catalyst, and finally reduce the NOx into harmless nitrogen and water. The denitration catalyst is a core part of the SCR system, generally takes titanium dioxide as a carrier, vanadium pentoxide as the main active material, tungsten trioxide as a co-agent. Tungsten trioxide plays the roles not only anti-sulfide and anti-toxic in the denitration catalyst, but also enhances anti-sintering ability of the carrier itself, thus its importance is obviously.
 
Beijing introduced the "Rule" will not only stimulate the city's passion for denitrification transformation, but also established a benchmark in the provinces, then, the air quality will be greatly improved.
