The current price of phosphorus trichloride in the domestic market is about 5,000 yuan/ton. And on the Beijing farmers' market, the price of ordinary carrots is 8 yuan ~ 10 yuan / kg. High energy-consuming phosphorus chemical products can not sell the price of carrots, this embarrassing situation can no longer be sustained. Phosphorus trichloride and glyphosate have been included in the national restriction directory, from the perspective of protecting phosphorus resources, this year and the next few years, the state will strictly control the blind expansion of phosphorus chemical projects." At the 2014 annual meeting of the National Phosphorus Chemical Collaborative Group held April 16-18 in Xuzhou, Jiangsu, Nie Jianjun, director of the National OPCW Office of the Department of Raw Materials of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said.

According to China Chemical News reporter understands that, at present, included in the international "Chemical Weapons Convention" Schedule 3 chemicals in the phosphorus chemical products are the following seven species: phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus chloride, phosphorus pentachloride, trimethyl phosphite, triethyl phosphite, dimethyl phosphite and diethyl phosphite. China's production of the above phosphorus chemical products more than 120 enterprises, with a total capacity of 3.7 million tons, the total output of about 1.8 million tons, capacity utilization rate of less than 50%.

According to Wang Huajian, chairman of Jiangsu Xuzhou Dahan Longfei Group and head of the phosphorus chemical collaboration group of the China Monitoring Chemicals Association, from 1998 to 2012, China's phosphorus trichloride production capacity increased from 500,000 tons to 2.53 million tons, an increase of four times; production increased from 280,000 tons to 1.18 million tons, an increase of 3.2 times. Excess production capacity of phosphorus trichloride, the supply far exceeds demand, the start-up rate of 46.6% in 2012, there are 28 unproductive.

Nie Jianjun pointed out that phosphorus resources are non-renewable and a strategic national resource. Therefore, the rational and efficient use of phosphorus resources, and promote the development and utilization of phosphorus resources and the coordinated development of the national economy, is a higher requirement and a serious challenge for China's phosphorus chemical industry. Ministry of Industry will be strictly in accordance with the relevant policies on the development and utilization of China's phosphorus resources, in accordance with the law to strictly review the monitoring of new chemical (reform, expansion) construction projects; stop approving phosphorus trichloride and other products included in the international directory of industrial restructuring guidelines for restriction and elimination; strict control of phosgene (including phosgene method isocyanate), hydrogen cyanide (cyanide) and other high-risk highly toxic chemicals production facilities new; further standardize the production of special permit Assessment work procedures, strict implementation of the assessment criteria; in accordance with national and regional development planning, chemical industry development planning and safety and environmental protection requirements, optimize the regional distribution of monitoring chemicals, and guide the transfer and aggregation of enterprises to chemical parks.

This year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology National OPCW Office will strengthen the supervision and inspection of the implementation of the "Regulations on the Management of Chemicals under Surveillance" and its implementation rules, the National OPCW Office will conduct random inspections of the special permit assessment of the production of chemicals under surveillance in accordance with the law, and focus on special on-site supervision and inspection of the production and use of second-class chemicals under surveillance. Strengthen the acceptance and investigation of reports on illegal construction, production, operation and use of monitoring chemicals enterprises. Strengthen administrative enforcement through joint law enforcement and other means to promote the healthy and sustainable development of the phosphorus chemical industry.
