Professor Tian Jian was Invited by the Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region to 2018 (the 9th) China-ASEAN Mining Cooperation Forum Seminar on Calcium Carbonate Industry Development and Annual Meeting of Guangxi Calcium Carbonate Industry Association
2018 (the 9th) China-ASEAN Mining Cooperation Forum and Exhibition was held in Nanning from Nov. 15th to Nov. 18th. The forum was hosted by the People’s Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and the Ministry of Natural Resources, and undertook by the Department of Natural Resources of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, National Geological Survey Bureau, the Department of International Cooperation of the Ministry of Natural Resources, and the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Exploration and Development of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Ms. Yan Zhixuan, Member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Vice Chairman of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Mr.Ling Yueming, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Natural Resources, and leaders of the Ministry of Mines from Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, Mongolia etc, attended the opening ceremony and delivered speeches. Through the holding of previous forums, a number of cooperation achievements have been achieved. The China-ASEAN Mining Cooperation Forum has become a new international regional cooperation platform for communication and pragmatic cooperation between mining companies in China and ASEAN countries.
The Calcium Carbonate Industry Development and Annual Meeting of Guangxi Calcium Carbonate Industry Association focused on the theme of “Focusing on Silk Road Cooperation and Developing Green Mining”, and discussed and exchanged topics on mineral resources development, calcium carbonate industry technology, and green sustainable development. The mode of participation in this seminar will be extended to China, the 10 countries of ASEAN, countries along the “Belt and Road” (11+N). The regional scope will be expanded in an all-round way. It is of great significance to promote China-ASEAN calcium carbonate production and processing technology, strengthen China-ASEAN calcium carbonate industry development cooperation, and promote Chinese calcium carbonate enterprises to explore the ASEAN big market. The number of participants reached up to 50,000 people, which was the largest event and the most influential event of Chinese calcium carbonate industry.
Invited by the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Government, Professor Tian Jian, Doctoral Supervisor of the School of Materials Science and Engineering,Hubei University,Dean ofHubei University Tianshu Industrial Research and Design Institute of New Energy Materials, Distinguished Professor ofYulin Normal University, and Dean of Guangxi Yulin Normal University Tianshu Calcium Carbonate Industry Research and Development Institute, made a keynote report on “Design and Application ofGreen Calcium Carbonate Industry Chain”.
Professor Tian Jian elaboratedGreen Calcium Carbonate Industry Chainand transformation of scientific research achievements of the Hubei University Tianshu Industrial Research and Design Institute of New Energy Materials from three aspects, “Green Mine (Regreen) Mining and Fine Aggregate Production Technology”, “High Active Calcium Oxide Preparation Process and Equipment” and “Nano Calcium Carbonate Preparation Technology”. Industrial green development supply chain and transformation of scientific research results.
Professor Tian Jian’s team has made a series of major breakthroughs in the fields of cement building materials, iron and steel, metallurgy, solid waste treatment, new energy materials, and the whole industrial chain of lithium batteries, high active calcium oxide / nano-calcium carbonate, highly active magnesium oxide / magnesium hydroxide, highly active metakaolin and bentonite. Professor Tian has vigorously promoted the industrialization transformation of scientific and technological achievements of various new technologies, new technologies and new equipment. Dozens of industrial demonstration production lines have been built in Shandong, Henan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi, Liaoning, Gansu and other provinces and cities.
At the seminar, Guangxi Calcium Carbonate Industry Association awarded the honorary title of “Guangxi Calcium Oxide Township” in Xingye County, Yulin. Xingye County has five advantages, such as rich mineral resources, obvious location advantages, convenient transportation, outstanding platform advantages and superior development environment. The mineral resources are abundant and it is estimated that the county has 20 billion tons of limestone reserves and calcium oxide content of over 54%. The reserves are large and the grade is high. After a number of major projects such as Shuangcheng Building Materials Co., Ltd are completed and put into production, the annual output of calcium carbonate in the county will reach 10 million tons, the annual output value is expected to reach 10 billion yuan, and the annual tax revenue is expected to reach 800-100 million yuan.
Yulin Normal University was elected as the governing body of Guangxi calcium Carbonate Industry Association.
Professor Tian Jian said that the Hubei University Tianshu Institute, Hubei University and Yulin, Guangxi have a long-term friendly cooperative relationship, and all parties have been pushing to build a green development industrial chain of calcium carbonate for Yulin, promoting the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements to take root.
In May 2016, Hubei University and Xingye County strategic cooperation and Hubei University Tianshu Institute and Shuangcheng Building Materials CO., Ltd Calcium Carbonate EPC project contract was successfully signed. The EPC project includes anannual output of 3 million tons ofsand and gravel aggregate production line,an annual output of 1 million tons of high active calcium oxide production line,an annual output of 100,000 tonsof ultra-fine calcium carbonate production line, and an annual output of 100,000 tons of nano calcium carbonate production line, with a total investment of about 1.3 billion yuan, which belongs to the Guangxi Autonomous Region promoting major projects. It is still under construction.
In October 2017, Yulin Normal University Tianshu Calcium Carbonate Industry Development Institute is established by Yulin Normal University and Hubei University Tianshu Institute. It has great significance to actively carry out cooperation projects, to train teachers who have innovative thinking, to promote the construction of the application oriented professional practice teaching base, to build “ Government - Industry - University - Research - Application” cooperation and international cooperation platform.It also can promote to focus on strategic emerging industries and services, to enhance advanced consciousness and innovation ability ofYulin Normal University, which is one of the most effective way to build the domestic well-known, top of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, local application oriented high level university.
In September 2018, Hubei University, Hubei University Tianshu Institute, Yulin Normal University, Guangxi University, Yulin Xingye Shuangcheng Building Materials Co., Ltd. jointly declared the project “Research and Application Demonstration of Key Technologies for Preparation of Nano-calcium Carbonate by Oxygen-enriched Method”, which was successfully approved by the Third Batch of Guangxi Innovation and Development Special Fund (Science and Technology Major Project). The project grant amounts to 10 million yuan.
Professor Tian Jian said that, with the support of the governments at all levels in Hubei Province and Guangxi Autonomous region, Hubei University Tianshu Institute andYulin Normal University TianshuCalcium Carbonate Industry Development Research Institutel will take the advantages of the advanced scientific research forces of universities, unique regional advantages and rich mineral resources in Guangxi, as well as all kinds of patent technologies and innovative process, we can build calcium carbonate industry chain and economic value chain with Yulin characteristics. In the near future, Yulin will keep pace with Hezhou, and become the most important light calcium carbonate production base and heavy calcium carbonate powder production base in china. We would serve the social and economic development of Guangxi Autonomous region, establishing the development community of “City + University +Enterprise” and practicing President Xi Jinping’s green ecological development view.
