On April 24 — The phosphorus-fluorine new materials project invested by Zhonghua Wuhuan Xiangyun Phosphorus-Fluorine New Materials (Hubei) Co., Ltd. has recently achieved positive progress. The project adopts the complete set of technology for producing anhydrous hydrogen fluoride (AHF) from fluorosilicic acid, independently developed by China Wuhuan Engineering Co., Ltd., using fluorosilicic acid, a byproduct from the wet-process phosphoric acid unit of Hubei New Xiangyun New Materials Co., Ltd., as raw material to construct a 15,000 t/a AHF production facility. The unit successfully passed the initial commissioning and trial operation, producing high-grade AHF with a purity of 99.9%. The successful implementation of this project has enabled the green and efficient utilization of fluorine resources associated with phosphate rock.

Chempricehub evaluates phosphate rock, with a bull-bear score of 1. This project uses fluorine resources associated with phosphate rock as raw material, successfully producing high-grade anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, achieving green and efficient resource utilization. This indicates an enhancement in the comprehensive value of phosphate rock, which may stimulate increased downstream demand, exerting a generally favorable impact on spot prices. The efficient utilization technology reduces resource waste, and in the long term, it may drive a tighter supply-demand balance in the phosphate rock market, supporting price increases.
