"The monitoring data of our homogeneous resin used in the production of ultrapure water shows that it almost coincides with the data curve of Dow's products, indicating that our resin products have entered the top field of the adsorption and separation material industry and have international competition. Power.” On October 13, Gao Yuejing, chairman of XALX High Performance Materials Technology Group, pointed to the latest data uploaded from the mobile phone to introduce Hay Think.
Ultra-pure water is water with extremely high purity and contains almost no impurity ions. It is used extensively in the manufacturing process of chips and panels. "Chip and panel manufacturing has very strict requirements on the water quality of ultrapure water. Using homogeneous resin to prepare ultrapure water is a necessary method in the industry. The latest data shows that our water quality and material quality have reached the world's advanced level." Gao Yuejing said.
The production technology of uniform particle resin is the core technology of the adsorption and separation material industry, which is only mastered by a few companies such as Dow in the United States and LANXESS in Germany. XALX has made unremitting technological innovation and broke the foreign monopoly. XALX specializes in the research and development, production and sales of polymer adsorption and separation materials, application technologies and devices. It currently has more than 100 varieties in 8 major varieties, which are widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, hydrometallurgy, plant extraction, chemical, environmental protection and other fields.
"Technical innovation is the corporate DNA of XALX. It is the continuous technological innovation in the past 20 years that has allowed companies to break foreign monopolies in the fields of food, pharmaceuticals, metal extraction, and water treatment, and realize import substitution." Gao Yuejing said.
"As a basic technology in the industrial field, adsorption separation technology can be used to separate a specific component in a liquid environment," said Gao Yuejing. Since its establishment in 2001, XALX has not entered the primary field of traditional industrial water treatment products with low added value. Instead, it has exerted its technical expertise, innovated and developed, and created new incremental markets.
"Freshly squeezed apple juice will change from light yellow to dark when left for 1 hour, and it will turn black when left for a longer time. The problem of browning is more serious during mass production. Early enterprises generally used activated carbon to remove brown. However, this method requires frequent replacement of activated carbon, which is not hygienic.” Gao Yuejing said, “We want to replace activated carbon with absorbent materials to further enhance the taste and appearance of apple juice.”
XALX’s R&D team began technical research, synthetic adsorption materials, and targeted removal of related chemical components, which not only solved the problem of apple juice browning, but also improved the taste of the product, and it also has advantages in cost. As a result, the use of adsorption technology for fruit juice quality control has gradually been accepted by fruit juice companies, and has also won the welcome of leading companies in industries such as Haisheng juice and Huiyuan juice.
Then, XALX continued to carry out technological innovation, adjusted the material structure, developed new products, and applied the products to the production of more than 10 juices including orange juice, grape juice, and pear juice. At the same time, it developed deep processing technology to extract pectin, pigments, and flavors. And so on, to help fruit juice manufacturers achieve quality and efficiency improvement. "For many years, our technology and materials have always accounted for 98% of China's domestic juice market, making important contributions to the technological progress of China's concentrated juice industry and promoting China to become a global juice manufacturing country." Gao Yuejing said.
The success in the food field did not stop XALX from its pace of innovation. In 2006, the company entered the field of biomedicine. "In the production of cephalosporins, pharmaceutical companies need to extract cephalosporins from hundreds of components in the fermentation broth. We develop and design based on the structure of the cephalosporin. When the fermentation broth flows through the adsorption and separation materials, The process of adsorption, separation, analysis, etc., realizes the extraction and purification of cephalosporin, which has reached the same technical level as foreign products." Gao Yuejing said.
The purified cephalosporin needs to be lysed into 7-ACA before subsequent cephalosporin preparations can be produced. XALX's scientific research personnel cooperated with Joincare Corporation to develop the enzymatic pyrolysis process. The two parties built China's first enzymatic pyrolysis 7-ACA industrial production line. Compared with the traditional chemical pyrolysis method, the energy saving and emission reduction effect is significant, and it has become a production process in the pharmaceutical field. An important milestone in the technological revolution has achieved industrial upgrading.
By 2018, China's cephalosporin production has accounted for 75% of the world's production. In this way, XALX realizes its own development through technological innovation and application, but also promotes the quality improvement and cost control of the downstream industry, and promotes the industrial upgrading of the downstream industry.
