DODGEN and Yuneng New Materials Sign Agreement for the Devolatilizer System for the Polyolefin Elastomer Unit of the Epoxy Resin Integrated Project (Phase I) On May 21, 2026, the signing ceremony for the Devolatilizer System of the 100,000 t/a Polyolefin…
Surging Demand for High-Purity Chemicals Is Pushing Conventional Separation Technologies to Their Limits Chemical separation is often described as the “invisible heart” of the chemical industry. A less recognized fact is that separation processes account for approximately 40%–70% of the…
An Invisible Problem Inside Everyday Plastics The plastic baby bottle used for infant formula, the cling film wrapped around a sandwich, and even the interior trim responsible for the “new car smell” may all contain trace amounts of unreacted raw…
A Counterintuitive Fact — A Pipe Can Also Be a Reactor Imagine two cooking methods. One uses a large pot where all ingredients are added together and mixed slowly with a stirring spoon, while temperature control depends heavily on operator…
The 18th China International Battery Fair (CIBF2026) opened today at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center. The exhibition covers the full lithium battery value chain, including battery materials, equipment, cell manufacturing, PACK, energy storage, and recycling. Every CIBF is…
On April 21, the globally anticipated CHINAPLAS 2026 International Exhibition on Plastics and Rubber Industries officially opened at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai. Across 17 themed zones and more than 390,000 square meters of exhibition space, over…
I. Policy Background Core Policy Goals: By 2029, comprehensively complete the identified renewal and retrofitting tasks for old equipment, drive the industry toward safer, greener, and smarter transformations, encourage enterprises to benchmark against advanced industry standards, and promote the application of…
Heat exchanger fouling in polymer processes is more than a maintenance issue. As polymer, oligomer, gel, or degraded material accumulates on heat-transfer surfaces, thermal resistance increases, flow conditions change, and the exchanger gradually loses its ability to maintain the required…
Concentrating heat-sensitive chemicals creates a fundamental process engineering conflict. Solvent removal requires substantial latent heat, while excessive temperature or prolonged thermal exposure can degrade product quality, alter composition or narrow the acceptable operating window. Multi-effect evaporation (MEE) and mechanical vapor…
Microreactors and tubular reactors can provide rapid heat transfer, controlled residence time, and intensified mixing for continuous chemical manufacturing. These advantages become harder to maintain when particles, crystals, polymers, or reaction byproducts accumulate inside the flow path. Fouling rarely becomes…
