Para-Xylene (PX) Industry in China- Market Size, Growth & Forecast to 2018
Research and Forecast of China Para-Xylene (PX) Market, 2014-2018 mainly analyzes current market status of China’s PX industry, main problems, supply and demand, business performance of major domestic enterprises, meanwhile offers proposals for PX industry, so as to make investors know this industry better and provide decision-making references for investment.
PX, which serves as the significant and basic chemical, has enjoyed extensive application in many fields of chemical production, such as chemical fiber, synthetic resin, pesticide, medicine and plastics etc. Currently PX is mainly used for producing pure terephthalic acid (PTA) and then producing polyester, as well as used as raw material for solvent, medicine, spice and printing ink. China is the world largest country in terms of producing, importing and consuming PX.
Recently, with rapid growth of China’s polyester industry, there is an increasing market demand for PX, but PX production capacity cannot meet the demand due to the slowdown of PX development in China.
At present there are 13 PX manufacturing enterprises totally in China, and most of them are subsidiaries of Sinopec, China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), which are the three major state-owned oil companies; data released by China Chemical Fibers Association?CCFA?show that among domestic existing PX production capacity, Sinopec can produce 3.649 million tons, accounting for 40.3%, CNPC produces 1.883 million tons, accounting for 20.8%, CNOOC 0.8 million tons, accounting 8.8%.
Before the year of 2000, PX supply and demand kept in a relative balance, and the self-sufficiency rate was 88% in 2000; along with the rapid development of PX projects in China, PX production capacity came to be the number one in the world from 2000 to 2010; China has become the world largest PX consumer since 2010, and China’s PX production capacity accounted for about 24% of the world’s PX production capacity,

    The finest beaches on the Mississippi Gulf Coast are located on Ship Island and are being eroded however; erosion is the thing that initially created the beaches. There were no beaches when oceans first covered the surface of the earth millions of years ago, only rocky shores. Over millions of years these solid stones were broken down into rocks by erosion, then were broken down into pebbles, and then into gravel, and then into sand. Rivers also carried down sand and silt from the mountains and deposited it into seas around the world and oceans. I found out that most causes of beach erosion are natural and the rest is because of man made structures. Jenny Lazlo of the National Awareness of Erosion was interviewed by one of my team members and stated that “everyone likes waves but they actually contribute to the erosion of beaches. Formations of waves are caused by wind, the rotation of the earth, and deep ocean currents.” Water moves in circular paths perpendicular to the ground. Waves take sand from the depths of the ocean and deposit it on the beaches. They also carry little pebbles and stones, and smash them into each other which create sand. Living on a beach or nearby one can be extremely harmful to humans because large waves can form (are powered by storms) and break into the beach washing back down much more sand with them to the ocean. A major part of beach erosion is ocean currents. Ocean currents can make and break the shore, depending on the circumstances but in this case it erodes the shore. “Long shore and near shore currents (riptides) are the two main types of currents that shape up beaches. The creation of the near shore current is when waves hit the beach at a ninety degree angles, they are very strong, narrow, and flow perpendicular to the beach in the seaward direction. This allows them to carry away large amounts of sand.” says Adam Copeland Erosion Researcher of Cornell University. Long…

    PTT (Polytrimethylene terephthalate) fiber is a kind of the most important fibers of the after-polyester period. With the development of economy, people's living standard is improving. More and more consumers hope that in the field of clothes and articles for daily life, high performance fabric can be conducted. Compared with other traditional chemical fibers, PTT fiber has the following characteristics: moderate glass transition temperature (Tg) and initial young’s modulus, excellent softness and elastic recovery; excellent wrinkle resistance; good dimension stability; excellent dyeability; good chemical stability and low absorbance. PTT fiber possesses many advantages of most synthetic fibers, and the most significant one is its excellent elastic recovery. And the workability, mechanical properties, thermo plasticity, extensibility, high elasticity, size-stability and dyeability of PTT is superior than PET, PA, which can also be widely applied on engineering plastic, thin film and other area.…
