The R&D team currently comprises nearly 80 members, with 35 core personnel, forming a tiered structure characterized by high-level leadership, mid-career and young backbone support, and a reserve of emerging talent. Among them are one PhD holder and six master’s degree holders, with 100% holding at least a bachelor’s degree. The team combines profound theoretical expertise with extensive industrialization experience. It also includes eight full-time technology-transfer specialists, establishing a comprehensive talent pipeline spanning research and development, pilot-scale testing, and industrialization. In addition, the company has forged long-term collaborations with several leading domestic chemical engineering universities and research institutes, and has flexibly recruited five seasoned industry experts, further strengthening its R&D capabilities and broadening its technical horizons. Annual R&D investment consistently exceeds RMB 10 million, providing robust human and financial resources to drive technological innovation. The company’s R&D center covers a total area of 2,000 square meters, focusing on organic synthesis and hydrometallurgical extraction. It boasts well-equipped facilities and an excellent hardware–software development environment, with a fully established product R&D system. The core hardware is divided into four major functional sections: First, the organic synthesis laboratory platform, equipped with glass reactors of various sizes, high-pressure reactors, magnetic stirrers, rotary evaporators, nitrogen‑protective systems, and chromatography columns, capable of meeting the full‑process requirements for fine organic chemical synthesis and reaction process optimization. Second, the hydrometallurgical extraction equipment suite, including extraction tanks, mixer‑settlers, centrifugal extractors, various types of separatory funnels, constant‑flow pumps, and feed‑stock storage tanks, supporting process R&D and performance validation for multi‑system extraction, washing, and back‑extraction. Third, the analytical testing center, featuring atomic absorption spectrophotometers, gas chromatographs, moisture analyzers, pH meters, and conductivity meters, enabling comprehensive quality control across all stages—from raw materials and intermediates to final products—and precise measurement of process parameters. This complete hardware infrastructure provides robust support for developing new organic synthesis processes, screening high‑efficiency extraction formulations, scaling up hydrometallurgical extraction technologies, and translating research outcomes into practical applications, thereby laying a solid hardware foundation for technological innovation and industrial implementation.

Relying on a robust R&D system and years of technological expertise, the team has developed two core technological strengths, establishing formidable, hard-to‑replicate technical barriers. First is its advantage in green synthesis and process intensification, which overcomes the traditional chemical industry’s challenges of high pollution and energy consumption. Through catalyst innovation, reaction pathway optimization, and the integration of clean production technologies, the company achieves low emissions and minimal losses in organic synthesis and hydrometallurgical extraction processes, embodying the principles of green development at the source. Second is its strength in efficient separation and precise extraction, enabled by customized extractant system design that significantly enhances product selectivity and separation efficiency, shortens process cycles, and reduces per‑unit energy consumption—balancing production efficiency with energy‑saving requirements. In addition, the company has established a comprehensive agile R&D framework—“market demand–technology pre‑research–product development–scenario validation”—to swiftly align green, efficient, and energy‑saving technologies with market needs, thereby substantially boosting R&D productivity and the rate of technology commercialization. The company remains steadfastly committed to technological innovation and scientific management. It has developed domestically advanced, proprietary core technologies in the fields of nickel‑cobalt, copper, industrial phosphates, rare earths, and environmental protection. In 2004, the enterprise passed a safety assessment and obtained a work‑safety production license; in 2008, it achieved ISO 9001 quality‑management certification. Over the years, it has been honored with titles such as “High‑Tech Enterprise,” “Henan Province Science‑and‑Technology‑Based Small and Medium‑Sized Enterprise,” “Luoyang City Engineering Technology Research Center for the Synthesis and Application of Phosphorus (Phosphonate) Compounds,” “Henan Province Engineering Technology Research Center for Extractant Synthesis and Application,” and “Henan Province Enterprise Technology Center.”

The team focuses on industry needs and cutting-edge technologies, deeply cultivating core areas to build a product and technology portfolio that centers on high-performance offerings while delivering both technological superiority and market competitiveness. In the new energy sector, addressing the separation challenges of lithium‑battery recycling and lithium extraction from salt lakes, the company has launched highly efficient extractants and complementary separation solutions, enabling high‑purity lithium recovery and low‑cost extraction that precisely meet downstream resource‑circulation requirements. In the rare‑earth extraction and separation field, it has developed customized, high‑performance separation products to satisfy the demand for fine‑grained rare‑earth element separation, thereby supporting the efficient utilization of rare‑earth resources. In the rubber, plastics, and petroleum industries, the company has engineered high‑performance additives tailored to specific applications, simultaneously enhancing downstream product performance and ensuring system compatibility and effective separation. In the wet‑process phosphoric acid purification segment, it has introduced purpose‑built purification products that achieve deep impurity removal and purity enhancement, aligning with the stringent separation standards required by downstream high‑end applications. Guided by the principle of “precisely meeting downstream separation needs,” the entire product lineup delivers high‑value solutions to critical industries such as new energy, new materials, and chemicals.
