In Dalian Lvshun Economic Development Zone, there is such an enterprise founded by the main researchers of the former National Catalysis Engineering Center and continues to grow and develop, it is Dalian Ruike Technology Co., Ltd. Although the production capacity of the company's leading product, copper-based catalysts, is not very large, and it is completely produced according to orders, it has the largest market share. On July 19, the degradable materials research team of China Chemical Industry News walked into this company, which is focusing on continuously becoming specialized, refined and strong in the field of catalysts.
The only localization of BDO catalyst
Founded in 2001, Dalian Ruike has a history of 20 years. It was co-founded by the main scientific researchers of the former National Catalysis Engineering Center. It focuses on the research direction of synthesis gas chemical catalysts and new materials. It integrates research and development, production, sales and A service-oriented high-tech enterprise integrating technical services. The production base is located in the Bohai New Area of Hebei, covering an area of 330,000 square meters, with a production capacity of 10,000 tons.
Zhou Huanwen, the general manager of the company, told the research team that the company has many years of experience in the research and production of copper-based catalysts. The first production line of methanol catalysts, the original product of Dalian Ruike, was produced in Qinhuangdao. There are more than 100 methanol catalysts in the country. In large-scale industrial applications, user acceptance is high. During the use of methanol catalysts by downstream customers, Xinjiang Meike proposed that since Dalian Ruike's methanol catalysts are doing well, they can extend the development of 1,4-butynediol catalysts downstream. In 2013, Dalian Ruike cooperated with Xinjiang Meike, developed a high activity and high stability 1,4-butynediol synthesis catalyst (basic copper carbonate type) RK-A in 10 months, and successfully applied for it. A patent has been obtained, and the performance index has reached or exceeded that of foreign catalysts. In June 2014, the first batch of 20 tons of catalyst was used in Xinjiang Meike 1,4-butynediol unit. The one-time feeding was successful. The performance of the catalyst was basically consistent with the results of the industrial measurement line, and some performances were further improved. In 2015, Dalian Ruike's basic copper carbonate catalyst (RK-15A) was successfully operated in Xinjiang Meike's 100,000 tons/year 1,4-butanediol production line, making Dalian Ruike the only catalyst of this type in China Manufacturers of industrial production and application.
Dalian REAK RK-15A butynediol synthesis catalyst is a basic copper carbonate type catalyst independently developed and successfully industrially produced. It is suitable for the synthesis of formaldehyde and acetylene to produce 1,4-butynediol. , has the characteristics of good activity, high conversion rate, good stability, high selectivity, good filterability, long life and so on. This product has been successfully introduced to the market in 2016 and replaced similar foreign catalysts.
Technological innovation has achieved remarkable results
"In recent years, formaldehyde catalysts and BDO catalysts have also been studied by scientific research institutes. For various reasons, they have not been successful in industrial applications. Our core competitiveness comes from the scientific research team of the National Catalysis Center. Independent innovation of core technology, introduction and training of scientific and technological talents, and rich experience in factory technology." Dalian Ruike Zhou Huanwen said.
According to the research team, Dalian REAK has carried out systematic basic research, engineering and industrial application research on modern coal chemical catalysts and new processes. There is a lot of accumulation in the research and development of new catalytic materials and metal catalyst preparation processes. Self-developed methanol synthesis catalysts, dimethyl ether catalysts, high-temperature methanation catalysts, 1,4-butanediol catalysts, dilute nitric acid reduction catalysts, SCR catalysts, iron Molybdenum formaldehyde catalysts have entered the international advanced ranks.
The key to technological innovation lies in talents. Dalian Ruike always attaches great importance to technology research and development and independent innovation, and regards talent introduction and training as the top priority of its work.At present, Dalian Ruike has more than 60 scientific researchers, and has undertaken many national, provincial and municipal scientific and technological projects. In 2008, won the "National High-tech Industrialization Decade Achievement Award". The company also has two R&D centers with independent innovation capabilities: the National and Local Joint Engineering Laboratory of Syngas Chemical Industry and the Liaoning Provincial Catalytic Materials Engineering Technology Research Center.Dalian REAK has made remarkable achievements in independent innovation, patent application and transformation of scientific and technological achievements. The company has obtained more than 30 invention patents and cooperated with more than 20 major enterprise projects.
