The chemical industry ranks second in terms of total imports, after machinery products. Given the annually growing export volumes of Kazakhstani chemical industry products, the volume of chemical imports into our country is three times greater. Based on the results of last year, these figures amounted to 1.06 billion and 3.2 billion US dollars, respectively.Drawing

The country's economy, according to experts JSC "QazIndustry" of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, first of all, needs a sustainable, independent of external factors production of soda ash and caustic soda, potash fertilizers, carbamide and sodium cyanide, which Kazakhstani enterprises consume in significant quantities.
The current situation in the industry. Over the past ten years, our country has built a solid foundation for the chemical industry. The range of chemical products manufactured has expanded: the country has begun producing polypropylene, caustic soda, hydrochloric acid, shampoos, cosmetic products, and much more. The chemical industry can be considered one of those rare sectors whose performance was positively affected by the coronavirus pandemic. According to data from the Statistics Committee of the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, between January and December 2020 — the first year of the pandemic — the volume of chemical production increased to a record level and amounted to 476.2 billion tenge in value terms.
In 2021, the largest share of industry production was accounted for by the “chemicals for industry” sector – 65.4%. Agrochemicals are also a driver of industry growth in Kazakhstan – 22.1%. Next are “basic petrochemicals” – 11.5%, and “other chemicals” – 0.9%.

Industry experts at JSC “QazIndustry” note the great potential of consumer chemicals. Supermarket shelves are actively being replenished with a domestic range of household chemicals and cosmetic products.
They produce solid laundry soap, liquid soap, organic surfactants, industrial cleaning agents, washing powders, shampoos, kitchen and cleaning detergents, dry‑cleaning agents, disinfectants, and personal hygiene products. The volume of investments in the chemical industry is steadily growing every year. Since the start of the second five‑year plan, in 2015, the amount of annual investments has increased 8.3‑fold. In 2021, 462.6 billion tenge was invested in the development of the industry.

The project is being implemented by EuroChem Group as part of the construction of the large chemical complex “EuroChem‑Karatau”. The total investment in the project is estimated at almost 1 billion dollars, Ulysmedia.kz reports.
What will be produced?
After reaching full capacity, the enterprise will be able to produce up to 1 million tons of products per year. In addition to sulfuric acid, the plant will produce dicalcium phosphate, potassium sulfate, calcium chloride, and synthetic gypsum. The production uses a more environmentally friendly technology. Instead of phosphogypsum, it is planned to produce products that can be used in construction and agriculture. The general EPC contractor for the project is the Chinese company CNCEC, which specializes in the construction of large chemical plants. Currently, more than a thousand people work at EuroChem’s facilities in the Zhambyl Region, and about 300 more jobs are provided by service companies. After the chemical complex is fully operational, investors and authorities expect to create at least 1,200 permanent jobs. The second phase of the facility is planned to be commissioned in the first quarter of 2027.

The EuroChem Group is one of the five largest global manufacturers of mineral fertilizers. The company’s production assets are located in Russia, Belgium, Lithuania, and China, and its headquarters are in Zug, Switzerland. In Kazakhstan, EuroChem is implementing one of the most capital‑intensive and technologically complex projects in the chemical industry. The company is developing a chemical cluster based on the Karatau phosphorite basin in the Zhambyl Region.

Kazakhstan ranks 7th in the world in sulfur production, with a total production volume of about 4.3 million tons per year. At the same time, its export generates only ~$200–400 million. Today, elemental sulfur, as a by‑product of the oil and gas industry, is mainly exported from Kazakhstan in its raw form or used to produce low‑margin sulfuric acid. However, its excessive accumulation creates associated environmental risks. Given the growing volume of production at the fields, the task of transitioning from exporting raw materials to deeply processing sulfur into innovative and high‑value materials is becoming particularly relevant.

A project by a group of scientists from the University of Arizona (USA), led by Professor Jeffrey Puey, may help solve this problem. They have developed an advanced reverse vulcanization technology that makes it possible to convert molten sulfur into polymers, as well as other high‑value products, such as infrared lenses, components of lithium‑sulfur batteries, anti‑corrosion coatings, and slow‑release fertilizers.

The technology is protected by 11 patents, is supported by more than 50 scientific publications, and demonstrates high commercial potential. For example, sulfuric acid is an inexpensive bulk chemical, costing ~$100–200 per tonne with large sales volumes. The project will make it possible to create more valuable sulfur‑containing chemical products. For example, high‑value plastic — lenses with a high refractive index — can cost ~$100–500 per piece.

The project is planned in cooperation with Kozybayev University and предусматривает conducting joint research, opening laboratories, training personnel, and launching production facilities in Kazakhstan. Student and scientific exchange programs are also expected, which will create the foundation for forming a scientific and industrial ecosystem capable of producing competitive materials of the new generation. The project was presented to the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Sayasat Nurbek, and the delegation of M. Kozybayev SKU during their visit to the University of Arizona in April of this year.

For the successful implementation of the project, direct access to sulfur at the fields and investments in laboratories, equipment, and pilot production facilities are required. This will make it possible to process sulfur on‑site, reduce logistics costs, accelerate the time to market, and develop new export markets. Thus, Kazakhstan gets a chance to become one of the world’s leaders in the production of high‑value sulfur‑containing materials. At the same time, the project’s implementation will also help address environmental issues related to the storage and disposal of sulfur.
