Cao Xianjun, vice chairman and secretary-general of the China Fluorosilicone Organic Materials Industry Association, said that my country is rich in various associated fluorite resources. Only the Baiyunebo Mine in Baotou contains 130 million tons of fluorite reserves, making it the world's largest associated fluorite mine. The completion of the comprehensive utilization project of fluorite resources cooperated by Baotou Steel Co., Ltd. and Jinshi Resources Group Co., Ltd. has solved the long-standing problem of utilization of fluorite associated mineral resources and broken through the technical bottleneck of the production of hydrofluoric acid by medium and low-grade fluorite powder., laid the foundation for large-scale industrial production, and also provided infinite possibilities for Baotou to build a 100 billion-level fluorine chemical industry cluster.

    "Baotou's fluorite resources account for about half of the country's total. It has unique advantages in the green development and utilization of fluorine resources and the innovative development of the fluorine chemical industry." Lu Jian, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that Baotou currently plans an entire industrial chain covering fluorite, hydrofluoric acid, fluorine-containing refrigerants, fluorine-containing new materials, etc., and will become an important fluorine chemical production base and innovation highland in the country.

    Zhang Rui, deputy secretary of the Baotou Municipal Party Committee and mayor, also said that based on its advantages such as fluorite resource endowment, cluster of leading enterprises, and green power supply guarantee, Baotou is aiming to build the most important modern fluorine materials industry base in northern my country and strengthening policy support., make every effort to build a 100 billion-level industrial cluster.

    According to Wang Jinhua, chairman of Jinshi Resources Group Co., Ltd., Baotou Steel Co., Ltd. and Jinshi Resources are jointly committed to building the "fluorite and fluorine chemical" basic industrial sector. They have achieved a fluorite powder production capacity of approximately 800,000 tons/year and an anhydrous hydrogen fluoride production capacity of 300,000 tons/year, and an aluminum fluoride production capacity of 90,000 tons/year have been built, laying a supply foundation for Baotou City to build a 100 billion-level fluorine material industry cluster. At the meeting, the Baotou City Fluorine Materials Industry Technology R & D Center was established and an unveiling ceremony was held. The center will aim at the forefront of industrial development, link and integrate government, industry, research and research resources to conduct strategic research, technological research, product development and demonstration applications, and promote technological innovation and achievement transformation of fluorine materials.
