The overall demand for carbon disulfide market is growing, and viscose fiber is its main application field.
Carbon disulfide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula CS2. It is a colorless liquid and a common solvent. Pure carbon disulfide used in the laboratory has an aromatic sweetness similar to chloroform, but usually impure industrial products are slightly yellow and smell like rotten radish because they are mixed with other sulfides (such as carbonyl sulfide, etc.). Carbon disulfide can dissolve elemental sulfur.
At present, carbon disulfide has experienced three generations of industrial production technologies, namely the charcoal method, the coke method, and the natural gas method. Among them, the charcoal method is the earliest traditional production technology. This process is seriously polluting and is extremely prone to safety accidents such as explosions and fires. The coke method is a unique patented technology in China. It has the advantages of low raw material prices, small-scale production, and simple processes. It has advantages, but it also has disadvantages such as resource waste, environmental pollution, and prone to safety accidents; the natural gas method can achieve continuous, automatically controlled clean production, and is currently the mainstream advanced technology in the world’s carbon disulfide industry.
At this stage, the companies in my country’s carbon disulfide industry are relatively scattered, mainly including Liaoning Ruixing, Xingyu Chemical, Ningxia Ziguang, Adisseo Nanjing, Shandong Xinhecheng, Shandong Jindian Co., Ltd., etc. In recent years, driven by supply-side reforms and industry policies, the number of domestic carbon disulfide production companies has decreased. Companies in the industry are operating at high operating rates, and the price of carbon disulfide products has shown a steady but rising trend.
According to the “2019-2026 Global Carbon Disulfide Industry In-depth Market Research and Key Area Research Report” released by the Industrial Research Center, carbon disulfide is It is a broad-based enzyme inhibitor with cytotoxic effects that can destroy the normal metabolism of cells, interfere with lipoprotein metabolism, and cause vascular disease, neuropathy, and damage to major organs throughout the body. In addition, carbon disulfide is also an important chemical raw material, and its downstream products mainly include viscose fiber, rubber additives, mineral processing agents and others. my country is a major country in the production and demand of carbon disulfide. Among them, viscose fiber is the main application field of carbon disulfide in my country, and the demand for viscose fiber accounts for more than 60% of the total demand for carbon disulfide. In the future, with the continued development of downstream fields, domestic demand for carbon disulfide may continue to increase, but the viscose fiber field will still be its main field.
Industrial researchers personnel said that my country is a major producer and consumer of carbon disulfide. In recent years, my country’s carbon disulfide production from natural gas methods has increased year by year. In the future, with the further improvement of industry technology and the growth of market demand, industry output may continue to rise.
