✦ Synopsis

included raising iron oxide pigment capacity here from 11,000 tonnes/y to 15,000 tonnes/y. (See 'Focus on Pigments ', Dec 2001, 4).

At the time of the privatisation of Precheza in 1996, the company's TiO 2 capacity was 25,000 tonnes/y. This was raised to 28,000 tonnes/y in early 1998. As part of a $35.8 M expansion programme, which also involved stepping up its sulfuric acid and iron oxide pigments capacity, Precheza increased its TiO 2 capacity to 35,000 tonnes/y in 4Q 1999. Recently, Precheza declared that its TiO 2 capacity had been stepped up to 40,000 tonnes/y. The long-term target of 50,000 tonnes/y should be reached in 2005. Up to 4000 tonnes/y of that capacity will be devoted to nonpigment grades.

examining the feasibility of establishing a new 40,000-50,000 tonnes/y TiO 2 pigment plant. (See 'Focus on Pigments ', Sep 2001, 4). But the Beijing Government made it clear that it would not grant environmental approval for a new sulfate-route plant of this size. In consequence, PanGang decided to
