Core Viewpoint - The titanium dioxide industry in China is experiencing significant growth, with a focus on the chloride process for production, which generates substantial waste that poses environmental risks. Dragon Group's subsidiary has developed a comprehensive recycling technology for waste and wastewater from titanium dioxide production, enhancing resource recovery and reducing environmental impact [1][2]. Group 1: Technology and Process - The new technology utilizes a process of "wet separation + chemical transformation + resource recovery," allowing for the recovery of valuable resources such as titanium, chlorine, and sodium from waste [1]. - The technology has increased the titanium resource recovery rate from less than 20% to 85%, equivalent to reducing the need for 80,000 tons of titanium ore extraction annually [2]. - The process involves multiple steps, including dissolution, filtration, neutralization, and evaporation concentration, which require precise control and technical expertise [2]. Group 2: Environmental and Economic Impact - The implementation of this technology reduces waste generation by 120,000 tons annually and decreases carbon dioxide emissions by 0.7 tons for every ton of waste processed [2]. - Since its operation began in 2022, the technology has alleviated environmental pressures from waste storage and generated significant economic benefits, with sales of by-products reaching 140 million yuan in 2023 and projected to increase to 160 million yuan in 2024 [3]. - The company plans to further research the comprehensive utilization of hydroxide slag to recover additional elements such as iron, magnesium, and aluminum, promoting sustainable development in the industry [3].
