Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone: "Green" for Transformation and Development on "chain"

It is Meng Chun, the beginning of the year to give birth to hope.

In the clean modern workshop of Shuangliang Silicon material (Baotou) Co., Ltd., 560 single crystal furnaces are running at full capacity, and the single crystal silicon rods are flashing silver one after another, making this new enterprise that has just been put into production more vibrant.

As a clean energy project of more than 10 billion yuan in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, the Shuangliang project takes only five months from foundation laying to ignition production, which is a demonstration example of the largest one-time investment and the shortest construction cycle in the industry.

More strikingly, the project has an annual production capacity of 4 billion silicon wafers after delivery, and the annual power generation for photovoltaic power stations exceeds 60 billion kilowatt hours, equivalent to 60 per cent of the annual installed capacity of the three Gorges Dam.

A project reflects the strong industrial development of Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone, and also demonstrates the determination and confidence of the region to promote high-quality economic development.

Since 2021, Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone has planted the foundation of industrial development, increased the reserve of high-quality projects, innovated ideas to attract investment, and created a first-class business atmosphere.

The starlight does not ask the passers-by, brilliance belongs to those who struggle. A series of hard-core measures have broken through themselves again and again, bringing together a surging forward force to promote the global development of Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone.

Strengthen the vivid practice of "project introduction"

Watching the project of polishing powder and nano-polishing liquid with an annual output of 3800 tons being put into production one after another, Zhang Wensheng, general manager of Baotou Lichen Technology Co., Ltd., said three words of "very satisfied" to express his affirmation and praise for the services of Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone. "the project started construction that year, completed that year, and trial production that year. As an investor, this is beyond my imagination, and it also boosted my confidence in the development of the enterprise."

The construction of key projects is the core support of planting the cornerstone of high-quality development and the key element of constructing the economic map.

In 2021, Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone organized and implemented 96 key projects of more than 100 million yuan, with a total investment of 56.077 billion yuan. Under the implementation of a number of key industrial projects, such as Jinli, Shuangliang and Earth Bear, investment in industrial projects increased by 250% compared with the same period last year.

With the establishment of new projects, the "strong magnetic field" effect of high-quality development of Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone continues to be released, injecting a strong driving force for economic development.

What kind of hope does this power contain?

In 2021, the industrial added value of Baotou rare earth high-tech zone increased by 21.6% over the same period last year, and its business income increased by 44.2% over the same period last year. In 2022, Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone will continue to write the perfect answer paper for the construction of key projects with a total investment of 61.72 billion yuan, focusing on promoting the Ketian Magnetic Industry's annual output of 8000 tons of high-performance rare earth permanent magnets and devices. Fuhai New material annual output of 9000 tons of high-performance multi-purpose polishing material project, Weifeng new material 250000 tons oriented silicon steel, superconducting aluminum alloy new materials and other projects early construction, early completion, early production.

The Deep Integration of the collision between Industry and Science and Technology

On the electroplating production line of Baotou Jinshan Magnetic Materials Co., Ltd., which is located in the A1 building of the rare earth new materials industrial base of Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone, a green board with 20 hooks has attracted the attention of reporters. According to Wang Zhiqiang, director of the enterprise electroplating factory, this is a hanger used for plating rare earth parts. The technology level is leading in the country. At present, it has an electroplating capacity of 4000 tons, which can meet the electroplating needs of mobile phone accessories, motor chips and wind power products.

Science and technology is the first driving force leading development. In recent years, Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone adheres to the development direction of "developing high technology and realizing industrialization", seizes the opportunities of opening and cooperation brought about by the action of "revitalizing Mongolia through science and technology", revolves around the leading industries such as rare earths, aluminum and copper, and high-end equipment manufacturing, improves the cooperation mechanism with large colleges and universities such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai Jiaotong University, and rare Earth Research Institute, and speeds up the construction of new research and development institutions such as "University Science and Technology Park" with Tongji University and Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology System docking high-quality innovation resources. We will focus on the mission of "establishing a district in science and technology", vigorously tackle key technological problems, establish 128 scientific and technological innovation platforms, including two academician workstations, and implement more than 500 key technological research and key achievements transformation projects.

"from only three people and two offices at the beginning of the institute to a modern professional industrial park covering an area of 50 mu and 46 registered enterprises, in a short period of six years, we have landed seven achievements conversion projects that fill the gaps in technology and industry in Inner Mongolia Autonomous region, such as high-performance rare earth aluminum alloy, high-precision rare earth polishing powder, rare earth stabilized color zirconia and so on." Yang Jianying, vice president of the Baotou Materials Research Institute of Shanghai Jiaotong University, told reporters that at present, the institute has established cooperative relations with more than 300 enterprises and scientific research talents.

"step up efforts to promote the landing of an effective talent policy, implement the project package system, set up high-standard service classes to carry out one-to-one service, and do not miss any opportunity to make the enterprise stronger and bigger." Yang Jianying is full of expectations for the future industrial development of the Research Institute and Baotou.

Tenacious Exploration of Innovation and High-quality Development

After 3 months, through the development of a number of plastic magnetic particles and injection magnet new products, Baotou Ke Rui Micro Magnetic New Materials Co., Ltd. research and development center successfully won the Baotou rare earth high-tech district enterprise R & D center.

Enterprises are the main body of innovation and an important support to promote high-quality economic development. In recent years, Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone adheres to the spirit of "daring to create first-class hard work, dare to take on important tasks, and dare to be the first", constantly promoting the green transformation and high-quality development of enterprises.

Since 2021, Baotou rare Earth High and New Technology Zone has revolved around the three-year action plan of "one industry, one strategy", accelerated the construction of a modern industrial system with diversified development and multi-pole support, adhered to the development idea of the rare earth industry, expanded and strengthened the rare earth industry, vigorously cultivated photovoltaic, biomedical, digital economy and other emerging industries, accelerated the upgrading of the non-ferrous metal materials industry, and promoted the upgrading of the equipment manufacturing industry. We will promote the deep integration of advanced manufacturing and modern service industries.

To grasp innovation is to grasp development, and to seek innovation is to seek the future. From the goal to the tenacious exploration of high-quality development, a vibrant and charming new area has shaped one distinct cursor after another on the dream journey.
