Panzhihua environmental protection industry of domestic titanium dioxide incident triggered a chain reaction

In December 2nd, environmental pollution caused by the Panzhihua high tech Zone companies waste vanadium titanium industrial wastewater, to Jinsha River, is CCTV financial channel “economic half-hour” column exposure. In December 3rd by the party members of the provincial Environmental Protection Office LED inspection teams went to Panzhihua to urge the rectification.

Panzhihua area is the domestic titanium concentrate – titanium dioxide industry chain production center:

Panzhihua area has a capacity of 4 million 140 thousand tons of titanium concentrate, titanium dioxide production capacity of 590 thousand tons and 582 thousand tons of titanium slag production accounted for 57.52% of the proportion of the national capacity, 15% and 29%. April vanadium titanium dioxide production capacity of High-tech Zone environmental impact of this event are production of 30 thousand tons, taking into account the domestic monthly output of 10-20 million tons, accounting for more than 15%, short-term supply shocks larger.
