Chapter 233: The Three Synthetics

"Fertilizer, oil?" Fan Yang pinched his chin.

Begin to ponder.

Lu Zhengshan looked at it from the side, and thought that he had said the wrong thing: "I also mentioned it in passing, we don't seem to be able to interfere with these things, right?"

Fan Yang waved his hand: "Don't talk yet, let me think about it." ”

According to common sense, these things belong to the pillar industries of the country, monopolize resources, and all belong to quota management.

But when I think about it, I am now dealing with the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and in a sense, at least this time the trade can be handled completely, right?

Speaking of petroleum, petrochemical, and chemical industry, Fan Yang still has a certain understanding.

Although the two lives combined, Fan Yang only has a high school level.

But I can't stand being old.

He has fully experienced the development of the construction industry and chemical materials in the 90s.

I also made a lot of money in it.

Not to mention that there are all kinds of numbers, but some basic things are still known.

Why is oil the blood, the lifeblood of the industrial age?

Because the proposition is just too big.

Oil and coal are very important processes in the earth's nutrient cycle.

Plants, living things, return to the earth after death, including a fallen leaf, a feather, and the spewing volcanic ash, their own nutrients, minerals, after decaying, degrading, covering the surface of the earth into a black layer of humus.

It's like a swamp.

Later, due to geological changes, it subsides, buries, and enters the underground layer, forming coal, or oil.

Over the course of billions of years, the Earth has had several mass extinctions and glacial cycles, all of which have created the conditions for the formation of oil and coal.

Most of the modern shallow oil layers date from the Jurassic period 200 million years ago.

A small handful of crude oil, full of treasures, can be differentiated and refined into hundreds of important chemical raw materials, and chemical elements, including all aspects of modern industry.

It can be said that modern industry is all built on the basis of electrification and petrochemicalization.

After the crude oil is extracted, there is an incomparably long industrial chain.

The first is oil refining, which refines high-purity fuel oil, aerospace oil, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and lubricating oil.

The rest is not called scrap, naphtha, it is called intermediates.

Intermediates can extract hundreds of chemical elements, including modern industry, the most important three industrial raw materials, ethylene, propylene, benzene.

These three industrial raw materials can be repeatedly polymerized to produce more raw materials, and finally form the three major synthetic materials of modern industry.

Synthetic plastics, synthetic rubber, synthetic fibers.

Among them, the output of ethylene is an important indicator for the international community to measure the level of industrialization of a country.

Because ethylene represents the production of plastics, rubber, and fibers.

In addition, there are various chemical raw materials such as methanol, ethanol, butylene glycol, ether, etc.

After that, the rest is processed into asphalt, paint, paint.

The last residue also contains a lot of minerals, calcium, phosphorus, potassium.

It can be processed into fertilizer.

So this industrial chain is incomparably long.

There are many upstream and downstream industries.

The geographical location of Xinyin, connecting Central Asia and the Middle East, is also the main channel of international energy transportation, since the construction of the Sulian aid in the fifties and sixties, a dense underground pipeline has been built here, the west-to-east gas transmission, the west-to-north oil diversion, and the annual crude oil production of the three major oilfields in Xinyin can account for one-third of the country.

Heavy industry and chemical industry are growing strongly.

The only thing that is bad is light industry, and there is also a chemical industry.

Against the background of the state-planned economy, there was no development at all in this regard.

It all depends on state allocation, and after reform and opening up, local governments are responsible for their own profits and losses, and they all rely on imports.

It can't be made with a pencil.

Fan Yang bit the pen and thought for a long time.

If you want to do it, you can, but in a hurry, you don't have any talent in this area.

When it comes to professional trade, it is not just a superficial understanding, it must be proficient enough.

Turning his head to look at Lu Zhengshan, he still had a trace of expectation in his heart: "Do you know anything about the chemical industry?"

"Understand?" Lu Zhengshan was stunned: "I don't know it, I know something." ”

"And what do you know?"

"When I used to have a little capital, I also considered doing a fertilizer business, and the new fertilizer was easy to buy, but it was not easy to sell, so I forgot about it later. ”

Hearing Lu Zhengshan mention chemical fertilizers, Fan Yang was a little disappointed, but still asked, "Urea or superphosphate?"

"You know this, too?" Lu Zhengshan looked surprised.

You don't know anything about science, right?

"I know a little bit. ”

There are many ways to process fertilizers, but no matter how you put it, you have to consider the raw materials.

Superphosphate can be described as the oldest variety of chemical fertilizer, with animal bones, polished into bone meal, and then dissolved phosphate rock with dilute sulfuric acid to obtain superphosphate, the two are mixed, it is rich in a large amount of organic calcium, inorganic calcium, and phosphorus, the production is simple, the soil method can also be made, the common people call it fertilizer powder.

There are so many cattle and sheep in the new reins, there must be superphosphate.

Urea, on the other hand, is extracted and synthesized from natural gas, which is the main variety of nitrogen fertilizer and the main consumer variety.

Although Fan Yang has not investigated so many oil and gas resources, it is not uncommon for him to break through.

"Well, it's both. ”

Fan Yang waved his hand: "Forget it, don't consider chemical fertilizer for the time being." ”

Chemical fertilizer in the fifties and sixties can be described as a sunrise industry, to solve the problem of the population to eat, but can not stand the excessive development, to the early 90s, China has been the world's largest producer of fertilizer, the first exporter.

It is a surplus product.

But there is still a problem, the technology is poor, there is a large amount of simple fertilizer, and there is a lack of compound fertilizer.

No one wants to stuff it everywhere.

In terms of trade, proper and inferior products.

Fan Yang will act as an agent for chemical fertilizer.

Neither does the potential.

Fertilizer exports were strong in the seventies and eighties, and then sluggish for more than a decade.

It was not until 98 years later that China established a new round of compound fertilizer production base to slowly recover the decline.

On the other hand, the fertilizer industry is a basic industry in any country, with its own production system and a small amount of imports.

Only in Vietnam, Burma, the Middle East, and other places, where wars break out all year round, and the situation is unstable, will they take a large number of imports.

Fertilizer PASS off.

For other chemical products, Fan Yang doesn't expect to be able to rely on Lu Zhengshan.

"Changji's products are like this first, and tomorrow I will call the head of the 105th regiment and ask him to make some recommendations and supplements. ”

"Well, that's good. Duan Zhengxing smiled.

Commander Lei of the 105th regiment, as well as Chief of Staff Huang, are very good.

In particular, Chief of Staff Huang gave Duan Zhengxing a lot of convenience in this cotton trade.

He was still grateful in his heart.

With a $4 million purchase contract, you must give priority to taking care of old friends.

"What's next, what are you discussing?" asked Fan Yang.

"Turpan?" Duan Zhengxing raised his hand and said.

"What is there to discuss in Turpan, raisins, walnuts, jujubes, let them all mix, boil maltose, make me a cut cake, let them see what a real dessert is, and replace it with a one, Bayingoleng, Bayinbrook Grassland. ”
