PX's relationship with the long-term development of the textile industry

As an upstream raw material for the chemical fiber industry, PX, to a certain extent, has played a role in replacing raw materials such as cotton. The development of PX is related to the tangible benefits and long-term development of the textile industry.

Wang Tiankai, President of China Textile Industry Federation:

PX Difficulty Brings Hidden Danger to Industry Safety

The development of China's textile industry and China's economy has a common place. Similar to the rapid development of China's economy, China's textile industry has grown steadily over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, especially after the rapid development in the first 10 years of the 21st century. Currently, China's textile industry is undergoing fiber processing. Already more than half of the world, trade volume has exceeded one-third of the world's total. PX is the main raw material of chemical fiber polyester, and polyester currently accounts for 70% of the entire textile raw material. Due to the investment restrictions in the early stage of the PX project and the environmental issues involved in the latter stage, the domestic development of PX raw materials, which play an important role in the entire textile raw materials, is hampered and the international market is under control. This poses a huge hidden danger for the entire industry.

Gao Yong, Vice President and Secretary General of China Textile Industry Federation:

PX problem restricts the development of the textile industry

The Chinese textile and apparel industry will continue its growth momentum, but the expansion of the industry scale will slow down. In the next few years, China's textile industry will mainly rely on upgrading and upgrading, instead of expanding its scale. Raw materials such as cotton and PX will also increasingly restrict the development of the industry.

Mao Jiaxiang: chemical fiber raw material difficulties PX can not be disclaimed

The layout of the chemical fiber industry by the first generation of leaders of our country is actually to solve the problem of dressing the people of our country. Natural cotton alone is not enough. If we say that in the 1960s it was mainly to solve our clothing problems, then after the reform and opening up, China’s economy developed rapidly, and the entire textile and clothing industry has grown stronger, and the textile industry has gradually entered the international market and become China’s The important pillar of the national economy. Polyester needs polyester, polyester needs PTA, PTA needs PX, which is an industrial chain. Among the entire industrial chain, polyester, polyester, and PTA have performed well. The competitiveness is visible at home and abroad. However, now the difference between PX and the PX is not well done. The entire industry chain is opened up and brought about. It will be another world.

Wei Fei, Professor of Chemical Engineering, Tsinghua University:

PX fundamentally solves the problem of cotton shortage

The current PX problem is not only an industrial problem, but it is actually related to the problem of dressing 1.3 billion Chinese people. If you count China's PET capacity, it is equivalent to about 600 million acres of land cotton production. At present, China has a total of 1.8 billion mu of land. If we take out 600 million mu of land, it will be a big problem. Can we make a cleaner process, not to mess up our environment? This is something we need to pay attention to. When we were doing chemical engineering in the past, we only started with the transformation of the most basic atomic molecules. Then we considered a series of processes. We only care about reactors and factories. Now that the situation has changed, we must consider the life cycle of the product and its impact on the entire social environment. This is not a matter of one person. We need to introduce the situation to the public, otherwise it will cause confusion.
