According to Finance Society on November 28 (Reporter Fang Yanbo), shortly after the relevant national departments publicly solicited opinions on phosphogypsum utilization and storage pollution control technical specifications, listed companies also began to take action.
This evening, Anhui Liuguo Chemical (600470.SH) announced that its controlling subsidiary Hubei Huayang New Materials Co., Ltd. plans to establish Hubei Xingyang Resource Recycling Co., Ltd. in Dangyang City, Hubei Province. The registered capital is 0.17 billion yuan. Among them, Hubei Huayang plans to invest 0.113 billion yuan, holding a 66.6% stake. The main construction project of this investment is the comprehensive utilization resource library for phosphogypsum.
As an acidic solid waste produced in the wet phosphoric acid process, phosphogypsum slag occupies a large amount of land, forming slag hills and seriously polluting the environment. Its treatment and utilization have always been one of the significant issues faced by the phosphorus chemicals industry.
Currently, the country has introduced policies regarding phosphogypsum such as 'production based on utilization' and 'production based on slag' requirements to achieve a 'production-consumption balance' for phosphogypsum, fundamentally addressing the ecological and environmental issues caused by phosphogypsum.
Recently, to strengthen the environmental management of solid waste, promote comprehensive utilization, and prevent environmental pollution, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment organized the compilation of the 'Technical Specifications for Pollution Control of Phosphogypsum Utilization and Storage (Draft for Comments)', which clarifies the discharge points and key pollution links of phosphogypsum in different utilization processes, and proposes corresponding pollution control technical requirements as well as monitoring and environmental management requirements, which will help enterprises take corresponding pollution prevention measures based on actual conditions, ensuring controllable environmental risks, thereby saving phosphogypsum pre-treatment costs.
The company stated that due to the legal requirements for phosphogypsum to achieve a 'production-consumption balance', which means that the disposal of phosphogypsum by producing enterprises should be linked to the refined phosphoric acid and other products they produce, the implementation of this comprehensive utilization resource library project for phosphogypsum will have a positive impact on the company's long-term development and strategic layout.
It is worth noting that recently, due to the rumors circulating in the market such as "the second largest pyrite mine in the country is about to be injected! The two major shareholders are creating synergies between pyrite mining and solid state batteries!", Anhui Liuguo Chemical once experienced a five-day continuous rise in its stocks.
Although the company has repeatedly clarified that there are no solid state battery products and no plans or intentions to develop them, there are still investors on platforms like stock forums linking the company's business to related solid state battery products. Today, while announcing the comprehensive utilization resource library project of phosphogypsum, Anhui Liuguo Chemical also publicly released a public opinion management system, requiring the company's public opinion work leading group office to pay attention to and manage public opinion information. The areas of focus should include the company's official website, WeChat public account, Douyin official account, online media, electronic newspapers, WeChat, Weibo, blogs, Shanghai Stock Exchange E-interactive Q&A, forums, tieba, and stock forums, to prevent price fluctuations of the company's stocks and their derivatives or damage to the company's reputation.
