    "Daya Bay has rich experience in petrochemical production, which is why we chose to start a business in Daya Bay


    .


    Zhang Xumu brought his scientific research achievements and team to the Daya Bay Area Science and Technology Innovation Park and became a technology innovation incubator in the Daya Bay Area


    .


    Today, their self-developed technology for producing environmentally friendly plasticizers from mixed butene not only has low raw material prices, but more importantly, its final product, the environmentally friendly plasticizer DPHP, is environmentally friendly and non-toxic


    .


    The market demand for new plasticizers continues to expand

    The market demand for new plasticizers continues to expand

    Speaking of plasticizers, many citizens are not unfamiliar


    .


    "I have been engaged in the research of asymmetric catalytic reactions for many years and have an original toolbox of chiral ligands


    .


    He led the team to independently research and develop the carbon tetraolefin production of environmentally friendly plasticizer project, which is to replace the raw material propylene of traditional plasticizer DOP with the intermediate product of petroleum refining mixed with carbon 4, and to synthesize the product 2-propane through the hydroformylation reaction base heptanol


    .


    It is reported that 2-propylheptanol is the raw material for the production of environmentally friendly plasticizer DPHP, bis(2-propylheptyl) phthalate


    .


    Negotiate with partners to promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements

    Negotiate with partners to promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements

    In 2019, with his scientific research achievements and team, Zhang Xumu established Huizhou Kaitlis Technology Co.
    , Ltd.
    and successfully settled in the Science and Technology Innovation Park of Daya Bay Area, becoming a technology innovation incubator in Daya Bay Area


    .


    "The currently commonly used related technologies are monopolized by foreign countries, or the technology is not transferred, or the transfer fee and the annual catalyst cost are expensive
    .
    " Zhang Xumu said that in the world, the number of 2-propylheptanol production enterprises is small, mainly the United States ceramics The reason is that only a few companies have mastered production technology

    .
    In China's market, there are only two or three 2-propylheptanol manufacturers, and they mainly introduce foreign technology

    .

    In order to break the technical barriers, Zhang Xumu and his team designed a tetradentate phosphine ligand with independent intellectual property rights and process routes
    .
    The unique ligand designed by his team has a more stable structure, even if a phosphine is damaged, it does not affect the reaction effect, and has better performance and longer life

    .
    When it comes to the ligands developed and designed by his team, Zhang Xumu is very confident

    .

    However, it is easier said than done to successfully transform scientific research results into technical products and push them to industrialization
    .
    The process of industrialization is still very long, and a lot of capital and resources are naturally needed

    .
    However, compared with new technologies that still need to be tested and developed, domestic companies may be more willing to spend a lot of money to choose foreign technologies that are already operating normally and have stable performance, and often do not pay enough attention to the development of new technologies

    .
    In the interview, Zhang Xumu said that the scientific research achievements of himself and his team have matured

    .
    At present, the company has started the continuous test of the small scale test, and the follow-up pilot plant and industrial demonstration plant construction also has gradually clear partners, and cooperates with the partners to promote the industrialization of the project and gradually transform the scientific and technological achievements

    .

    "Among the existing plasticizers on the market, dioctyl phthalate (DOP) has the largest consumption.
    With the continuous improvement of the performance and quality requirements of plastic products in the market, environmentally friendly plasticizers with better environmental performance and low prices are emerging.
    DPHP will replace the traditional plasticizer DOP and become the mainstream plasticizer of PVC, and under this background, the market prospect of 2-propylheptanol is broad

    .
    " Zhang Xumu and his team are full of longing for the future of the company
