Analysis of supply and demand status of China's phosphorus chemical market in 2022

Phosphorus is an important non-metallic mineral resource that is difficult to regenerate. It is also an important part of life material. It plays an important role in the regulation of human energy metabolism. Taking phosphorus resources as raw materials, many phosphorus chemical products can be produced.

Phosphorus chemical industry refers to a chemical sub industry that takes phosphorus ore as raw material and processes phosphorus in ore into products through chemical methods. Its basic raw materials are mainly phosphorus ore and sulfur. The upstream of phosphorus chemical industry is phosphate rock. According to different processes, phosphate rock can be directly made into phosphoric acid, and then processed into various phosphorus chemical products; Yellow phosphorus can also be prepared first, and then phosphoric acid; Yellow phosphorus can also be used to prepare phosphorus trichloride, which is an important raw material for the production of glyphosate and other pesticides.

The middle reaches of the phosphate fertilizer industry are wet process phosphoric acid, which will further produce phosphate fertilizer, and the lower reaches are agricultural production. In the middle reaches of the phosphate industry, thermal yellow phosphorus is generated, and phosphate is regenerated through processing. Phosphate is used in downstream industrial detergent, metal surface treatment, industrial water treatment, construction industry, medicine, plastic plasticizer and other fields.
