Experts from China Nuclear Titanium Dioxide Chief Engineer Zhang Beng, Shandong Jinhai Titanium Industry Executive Director Chen Jinguo, Yunnan Fumin Longteng Titanium Industry General Manager Zhang Yidu, Shandong Dawn Titanium Industry General Manager Li Jianli and other experts put forward many suggestions on industry development, technological innovation, and expert committee work.

Chen Jinguo expressed concern about the current titanium dioxide market. Take Jinhai as an example. Although the downstream enterprises brought some orders before the Spring Festival, the transaction price was not high as a whole, and the titanium ore price remained high. Jinhai Company predicted that the profit in January would be only a few million, but the future situation was still not optimistic. Titanium dioxide production enterprises only hard work, reduce production costs, the same quality spell cost, the same price spell quality, in order to earn a ray of vitality.

Li Jianli believes that with the continuous release of new production capacity, the demand for raw materials is increasing, and the output of titanium gypsum is also increasing. These are the two major problems faced by many titanium dioxide companies. While strengthening the comprehensive utilization of waste and by-products (titanium gypsum as roadbed materials, etc.), Dawn Titanium has been committed to the research and development and innovation of titanium dioxide products to provide high-quality products and services for coatings, plastics, paper and other industries. In the future, the company will continue to increase investment in research and development, improve product quality, and actively expand domestic and foreign markets.
