On August 28, ZHGJ International and DIC Co., Ltd. (Dai Nihon Ink Chemical Co., Ltd.) held the unveiling ceremony of "ZH-DIC Cross-phase Membrane Joint Laboratory" in Shanghai. Both parties will use this as a platform to promote the technology of high-performance membrane materials. R & D, which is another measure of ZHGJ International's new layout of the material industry, will promote the continuous upgrade of China's membrane material industry.
The unveiling ceremony was held in ZHGJ International's Science and Technology Innovation Center in Zhangjiang, Shanghai. It was chaired by Dr. Zhu Jianjun, General Manager of ZHGJ International Innovation Management Department and General Manager of Science and Technology Innovation Center, Dr. Chen Baoshu, Chief Technology Officer of ZHGJ International, and DIC Applied Materials Department. General manager Shinji Nobuyuki and General Manager of DIC China Yamada Ichigo attended the unveiling ceremony.
Dr. Chen Baoshu said at the unveiling ceremony: "The completion of the ZHGJ-DIC Cross-Phase Membrane Joint Laboratory is another pioneering step in technological innovation in ZHGJ's international layout of new materials. At present, the country is vigorously promoting the environmental protection industry and focusing on separation. The development of the membrane material industry is exactly the direction of ZHGJ International's strategic development. ZHGJ International will take this as an opportunity to unite strategic partners at home and abroad to accelerate the development of the membrane material industry. In the future, the two sides will use the laboratory's engineered joint research and development The platform conducts new product development and application research, and promotes the continuous upgrade of China's membrane material technology. "
It is reported that high-performance membrane materials as strategic new materials have been included in China's "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" special projects, and the application of new materials including membranes has been ranked first among the nine key areas in need of breakthrough. Membrane materials are widely used in water resources, traditional industries, ecological environment, energy and chemical industries. The domestic demand is huge. In 2017, the total value of China's membrane material industry was 130 billion yuan. It is estimated that by 2022, the scale of China's membrane material industry will reach 250 billion yuan. . Among them, the degassing membrane, as a special functional material, is an important device that helps high energy-consuming and heavily polluting enterprises to improve energy conservation, emission reduction, and three waste treatment capabilities. It is mainly used to replace traditional vacuum degassing towers, thermal deaeration, and stripping degassing towers. High investment, high energy consumption, and low efficiency technologies are widely used in the fields of electronic semiconductors, TFT / LCD displays, coal chemical industry, new materials, chemical industry, non-ferrous metals, and waste infiltration liquid treatment.
According to reports, the ZHGJ-DIC Cross-Phase Membrane Joint Laboratory completed as a joint R & D platform for degassing membrane engineering equipment currently has the ability to load and run 10-inch and 14-inch degassing membranes. ZHGJ International Science and Technology Innovation Center will use this laboratory to establish a research platform for the development and application of cross-phase membranes, and based on this, it will gradually develop in the direction of other special membrane materials and increase the size of ZHGJ membrane materials industry.
At present, ZHGJ International and DIC have established a strategic cooperative partnership. In the future, the two sides will carry out multi-faceted and multi-level cooperation. In this regard, Nobuyuki Shinsuke, General Manager of the DIC Applied Materials Department, said: "We are very pleased to establish a comprehensive and in-depth cooperation on the membrane material R & D platform and ZHGJ International. We will rely on years of industry accumulation for the joint The laboratory's R & D projects and engineering application projects provide comprehensive and in-depth technical support and comprehensive personnel training programs. In the future, the two parties also plan to establish joint ventures to further promote technological breakthroughs and innovations in membrane materials. "
As well-known companies in the chemical industry, ZHGJ International and DIC have achieved fruitful results in the field of membrane materials. In recent years, DIC's SEPERAL hollow fiber degassing membrane technology has made breakthrough progress and obtained a number of patents, providing safe and efficient solutions for ink degassing, ultra-pure water for semiconductor manufacturing, food coloring and other fields. And ZHGJ International's self-developed membrane contactor products have also successfully broken through foreign technology monopolies. The product performance is close to international first-class standards and has more advantages in cost. At present, more than 30 sets of membrane contactor systems are running worldwide. In the future, Sinochem International will continue to focus on the research and development, production and application of high-performance membrane materials in the industrial field, and will use reverse osmosis membranes as the starting point to realize the domestic production of high-quality reverse osmosis membrane products. ZHGJ International will also gradually enrich special membrane products, such as degassing membranes, nanofiltration membranes, hybrid membranes, nanofiber membranes, etc., to comprehensively build the ZHGJ membrane material industry platform, create ZHGJ membrane material product brands, and break foreign companies in the high-end Monopoly in the field of membrane products.
