Nanjing Taiye Chemical Completes Major Expansion, Boosting Lithium and Iodine Production with Green Technology
Nanjing Taiye Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., a leading enterprise with over two decades of expertise in the production of lithium salts, cesium salts, rubidium salts, and iodine compounds, has reached a significant milestone in its growth trajectory.
Nanjing Taiye Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., a leading enterprise with over two decades of expertise in the production of lithium salts, cesium salts, rubidium salts, and iodine compounds, has reached a significant milestone in its growth trajectory. On January 3, 2025, the company’s Nantong plant-Qinhua Nano successfully completed and fully operationalized its ambitious expansion project, which includes an annual production capacity of 10,300 tons of lithium battery materials and 1,300 tons of iodine series products. This expansion not only solidifies the company’s position as a key player in China’s advanced materials sector but also underscores its commitment to sustainable development and technological innovation.
The expansion project involved a comprehensive overhaul of the existing facilities, including the demolition of outdated production lines and the construction of state-of-the-art production lines equipped with cutting-edge technology. To support the increased production capacity, the company also built new infrastructure, such as a raw material storage tank area and a rebuilt warehouse. These enhancements are designed to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and ensure the highest standards of product quality.
A cornerstone of the expansion project is its focus on environmental sustainability. Qinhua Nano has implemented advanced eco-friendly infrastructure to minimize its environmental footprint. The wastewater treatment station has been significantly expanded, incorporating advanced treatment systems that ensure industrial wastewater meets stringent discharge standards for key pollutants such as COD (chemical oxygen demand) and total nitrogen. Treated water is then safely channeled to local treatment plants, further reducing environmental impact. Additionally, the company has upgraded its hazardous waste storage facilities and established a dedicated solid waste storage area, ensuring safe and compliant waste management practices.
In line with China’s stringent environmental regulations, the project incorporates state-of-the-art exhaust gas treatment technologies to effectively reduce emissions of hydrogen chloride, sulfuric acid mist, and non-methane hydrocarbons. These measures ensure that emissions remain well within national limits, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier environment. Furthermore, the company has adopted low-noise equipment and implemented robust anti-leakage measures to protect soil and groundwater, reinforcing its commitment to ecological safety and sustainable industrial practices.
The completion of this expansion project is a testament to Nanjing Taiye Chemical’s dedication to aligning its operations with China’s "dual carbon" goals, which aim to achieve peak carbon emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. By promoting cleaner industrial processes and investing in green technologies, the company is playing a pivotal role in advancing the global transition to a low-carbon economy.
The expanded production capacity addresses the surging global demand for lithium battery materials, which are critical components for electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy storage systems. As the world shifts toward cleaner energy solutions, the demand for high-quality lithium compounds is expected to grow exponentially. Similarly, the increased production of iodine-based products caters to their diverse applications in pharmaceuticals, electronics, and specialty chemicals, further strengthening the company’s foothold in these high-growth markets.
This expansion marks an important milestone in Nanjing Taiye Chemical’s development, reflecting its unwavering commitment to innovation, sustainability, and excellence. By integrating green energy practices and high-tech materials innovation, the company is not only enhancing its competitive edge but also contributing to the global effort to build a more sustainable future. As the company continues to expand its capabilities and explore new opportunities, it remains steadfast in its mission to deliver high-quality products while upholding the highest standards of environmental responsibility.
