Recently, Yichang Fine Chemical Industry Development Planning (2013-2016), issued by the Municipal Government Office, proposed that by 2016, the city\'s fine chemical industrial output value will exceed 180 billion RMB, more than 260 chemical companies will be set up, fine chemical proportion of the city\'s industrial output value accounted for more than 25 percent steadily, and the well-known, high value-added fine phosphorus chemical production base and national high concentrations of phosphate and compound fertilizer production base will be built.

　　The development and utilization of the phosphate rock will be fully implemented mining, ore dressing and machining integration. By 2016, we should cultivate a chemical enterprise with over 100 billion RMB main business income, an enterprise with over 50 billion RMB, more than three enterprises with over 10 billion RMB. Accelerate breakthrough the key technology bottlenecks, such as wet-process phosphoric acid purification, comprehensive use of mid-and-low grade phosphate rock, fluorine, magnesium, potassium, phosphogypsum and other paragenetic and associated minerals and other were associated utilization of resources, to improve core competitiveness of industries. By 2016, the rate of comprehensive utilization of phosphogypsum will reach over 35 percent. According to the Planning, chemical circular demonstration park (district) should be built to develop the environmental, efficient and recycling industrial economy and take the path of sustainable development. Yidu City, which has just been included in the National Resource Mature City, its industrial park is planned for circular economy symbiotic coupling compound fertilizer base for symbiosis and coupling with phosphate rock, fine phosphate chemicals and other fine phosphate chemicals, so as to form a upstream and downstream integration industrial chain of mining, ore dressing and machining to achieve the gradient use of wet-process phosphoric acid and improve the overall comprehensive utilization of phosphate resources.

　　According to the Planning, large and medium-sized enterprises, which produce high concentrations of phosphorus compound fertilizer and develop phosphorus resources deeply, such as Hubei Yihua Group Limited Liability Company, Sanning Chemical Co., Ltd, Hubei Dongsheng Chemical Group Co., Ltd, Anhui Liuguo Chemical Co.,Ltd, Stanley Fertilizer Stock Co., Ltd, Hubei New Yang Feng Fertilizer Stock Co., Ltd, Hubei E\'Zhong Chemical Ltd, will be given priority aid. In three years, the existing manufactures of sulfuric acid from pyrite under 100,000 tons per year and sulfur-based sulfuric acid plants under 200,000 tons per year will be eliminated; through market mechanisms and gradually make the enterprises with backward management, high consumption of resources, security risks, does not meet the environmental requirements, as well as comprehensive utilization rate of phosphogypsum not meet the requirements of businesses phased out from the market.

　　According to the Planning, the mid-and-low phosphate rock should be encouraged into mining and dressing and utilizing, environmental protection and ecological restoration of mine should be strengthened. The afforestation rate of reclamation should be raised to construct modern mines with scale, green, security and harmony. Phosphate enterprises with under 150,000 tons per year production capacity should be restructured or closed. The production capacity of new single-scale mining shouldn\'t be less than 300,000 tons per year in the future. By 2016, the city\'s total annual mining phosphate rock will be controlled at 16 million tons, the proportion of medium-sized phosphate mine will reach over 30 percent, mining rights should be controlled within 40.
