ANALYSIS AND DEVELOPMENT OF
CHEMICAL COMPLEX
OF THE REGION
Kudabayeva L.A.
Taraz
State
University named after M.H.Dulati,
Taraz
A
specific feature of Zhambyl region territory
is a close relationship between socio-economic status of the functioning of core enterprises, so the
present and the future of Zhambyl region
is connected with a large chemistry,
the development of the industry for the production of fertilizers on the basis of the Karatau phosphorite deposits, where about a third of the phosphorite deposits of our country is concentrated.
On
stocks of these raw
materials Karatau basin is on the
same row with the richest deposits
in the world. Karatau phosphorite
basin was explored before the war. On the basis of this basin "Karatau" Mining and Chemical Complex and Taraz superphosphate plant were originally built. Subsequently,
the new mines and processing factory were built in Zhanatas town where
construction of the second stage of the
plant "Karatau" began.
[1]
Limited
partnership "Kazphosphate" is referred to the class of mega-giants of the chemical industry of
the area. The main objective of the
company - production of phosphate and fertilizer.
LP "Kazphosphate", which produces about a third of the volume of industrial
production in the region and is a major producer of chemical products,
manufactured products on 45.0 bn.
tenge, the production of yellow phosphorus to 14.5%, phosphoric acid - to 87.9%, sodium
tripolyphosphate - to 80.6%, phosphorus fertilizers - to 16.3% increased at the expense of expanding production distribution markets.
The
increase of mineral fertilizers production
became possible with a stable supply since July 2013
of sulfuric acid. In 2013, in comparison with the previous year the company put more of
mineral fertilizers (2.3 times), phosphoric
acid (3.9 times), sodium tripolyphosphate (3.2 times), yellow phosphorus (2 times) on the export
[2].
Along with the main directions of its
activity LP "Kazphosphate" is working hard to improve the process of production phosphoric subsectors in
enterprises, the development of their structure as well as the modernization of
the existing power of enterprises
that will ensure rational use of natural
resources of Karatau phosphorite – Zhanatas
basin in the future.
A
tripartite memorandum is signed between the Ministry of Industry and Trade,
Company "Kazphosphate" and Akimat of Zhambyl
region, that the company will conduct in its branches a definite work on the implementation of
outsourcing, the city administration
provides information about the companies that can facilitate,
and the Ministry - provides all possible
assistance in this issue.
Superphosphate
plants of Kazakhstan and Central Asia, including Taraz superphosphate
plant (operating since 1946),
Shymkent chemical plant for the production of phosphate fertilizers
and salts of phosphorus work on the
basis of the Karatau phosphorite.
Fertilizers produced by these plants are used in
cotton and beet fields. We
can point out Zhanatas, Aksai, Sholaktau, Kokzhonsk deposits as one of the
large deposits of the Karatau phosphorite. [1]
Together
with the SEC "Ontustik"
and LP "Kazphosphate" in Zhambyl region, a draft of the plant
for the production of monammonium and
diammonium phosphate - effective
fertilizer for crop production is worked
out. The plant provides for the
production of one million tons of
nitrogenphosphoric fertilizer of
high quality - export-oriented
products, which will allow Kazakhstan to take the leading position in the market
of mineral raw materials, because of its
low cost and geographic proximity of Kazakhstan
to the largest trade area.
Production intends the creation of the
entire process chain, from mining phosphate rock in the Karatau
- Zhanatas ore
basin to the construction of the processing plant of new generation.
The resulting product - phosphorus concentrate with phosphorus pentoxide more than 30% is competitive in the world market.
At
the end of the analysis
we give some examples and forecasts of further development of
the chemical complex of Zhambyl region:
A
construction of a plant
for the production of complex fertilizers
with a design capacity of 1.5 - 2 million tons of
nitrogen and nitrogen-phosphorus
fertilizer per year is planned to build
in the town of Karatau of Zhambyl
region. The development of the company will be carried out at the expense of new industrial capacities exploitation, rather
than by increasing the current.
Holding Company “EuroChem” will provide a supply of potassium
stuff and fertilizer from own
ore mining and processing enterprise
to the Volgograd region at the most
competitive prices. MHC
"EuroChem" plans to invest in production and infrastructure facilities
in Kazakhstan more than $ 2 billion. About 4 thousand vacancies will be
created. [3]
The
President of Kazakhstan N.
Nazarbayev in one of his
interviews said: "The task
of the government is to solve
issues of these companies without
stopping... These are real companies
with the tools, technologies and
a great experience. I think it will
be a new revival of Zhambyl and
South Kazakhstan regions".
Speaking about
the development of the chemical industry cluster in Zhambyl region, the
President noted that "this region is the center of chemistry. We have huge
reserves of phosphate rock. Now, when fertilizer is in the demand by the
agricultural sector, a food crisis is developed along with financial crisis in
the world, fertilizer becomes very important.
Kazakhstan has a tremendous opportunities
to increase the production of all
types of food: grains, vegetables,
meat, milk ... Interior needs of
Kazakhstan are 2.6 million. tons
of fertilizer per year, whereas totally only 200
thousand tons are used in fact. While
having one of the largest
reserves of phosphate rock in the
world, there is a question of
attracting large investments in
the chemical industry ....".
"I
think we had a very important
job to revive the chemistry.
This is the same huge cluster of the same huge
amount as oil and gas, mining and
metals, agricultural industry.
Now the fourth branch
is very necessary to us",
"For the southern region the
production of the chemical industry is the backbone of the
huge reserves of phosphate rock.
Today
Kazakhstan is ranked fourth on
reserves of phosphate rock in the world. According to the approved recoverable reserves we have four billion tons of phosphate rock and probable
reserves - 15 billion. tons. Kazakhstan may
become the largest supplier of
mineral fertilizers on the world market ", - said the President. [4]
