You may not know that you are wearing comfortable underwear, sitting on a plane, or chewing on xylitol chewing gum. The xylitol in your mouth, the inner heating fiber on your body, the plane you are flying on, some of the raw materials may come from Jinan Shengquan Group. Corn cobs stacked on the yard. The company that was on the verge of bankruptcy before the restructuring is now relying on “innovation” to write the “corn corn legend”.

Pointing at the corn cobs piled up like hills on the yard, Bai Xingze, deputy director of the president office of Shengquan Group, said that here, corn husks, corn cobs and other plant straws can be turned into xylose, furan resin, lignin, organic fertilizer, raw The material graphene, in turn, produces xylitol, precision castings for aircraft ships, fire resistant high temperature resistant materials, multifunctional interior heating fiber fabrics, new energy batteries, and more.

In the 1980s, the predecessor of the Shengquan Group, the Yancheng Furfural Plant, suffered a serious loss and was on the verge of bankruptcy. After the restructuring of the factory in the 1990s, through innovation, the company embarked on a rapid development path. In 2015, its main business income exceeded 3.3 billion yuan.

Into the Shengquan Group Functional Fiber Application Research Institute, engineer Ma Junqiang is working with colleagues to test the heat transfer performance of graphene-added fiber cloth. He said that by infrared heating, the material can be heated to 50 degrees Celsius in just a few minutes.

The test data shows that the corncob plant fiber has excellent functions of heat conduction, conduction and far infrared. When 1%-3% of graphene is added to the fiber fabric, the fiber fabric can be heated rapidly under the same light source, and the function is not attenuated after repeated washing.

Tang Yilin, president of Shengquan Group, told reporters that through cooperation with scientific research institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Heilongjiang University, they successfully extracted graphene, a raw material from corncob, which has been put into use this year and has cooperated with many well-known underwear brand manufacturers and textile companies. Functional clothing and a range of beddings containing biomass graphene were produced.

In recent years, Shengquan Group has graded and utilized hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin in plant straw to form a chain of straw resource utilization industries.

They use hemicellulose in plant straw to produce furfural, which in turn produces chemical products such as furan resins. It is widely used in the production of furan resin for precision instrument castings such as automobiles, airplanes and ships. The annual production and sales volume reaches 100,000 tons, ranking first in the world. They also use hemicellulose to produce functional sugars such as xylose and L-arabinose. Lignin produces new materials for fireproof insulation, and is also used in automobile tire production to improve tire wear resistance and extend service life.

Emphasis on research and development and encourage innovation is the key to the development of Shengquan Group. The company has 8 R&D centers including functional fiber, environmental protection, graphene and biomass. The scientific research personnel account for 10% of the total number of employees, and the annual research funding is 150 million yuan. At the same time, high-paying foreign experts are hired, and one of the American experts has a salary of $200 per hour.

In the 1990s, when Tang Yilin visited Japan, he found that the advanced factories and three adults were engaged in scientific research. "After returning to China, we also learned their practices and increased investment in scientific research." Tang Yilin said. At present, Shengquan Group has a national enterprise technology center and three national accredited laboratories.

In order to encourage all employees to innovate, Shengquan Group will spend about 3 million yuan each year to reward employees at all levels for innovation. In a document of the group, the reporter saw that different rewards were set for different positions and different types of work, and the individual innovation rewards ranged from 50 yuan to 100,000 yuan.

The Group also established an Innovation Incentive Committee to develop a number of systems to encourage production frontline employees, general administrative staff, and market sales personnel to make recommendations. “The company has formed an atmosphere of innovation from executives to employees,” said Bai Xingze.

In 2015, all members of the group proposed 300 rationalization proposals, 83 innovation proposals, and created a profit of 230 million yuan for the group. At present, the Group has applied for more than 580 international and national patents.

A small step in the year, a big step in three years, relying on technological progress and continuous development and innovation, Shengquan Group is growing steadily.

"One straw can produce 20 kinds of products, and one ton of straw can become 0.9 tons of products. In the future, we want to make straw and grain the same price and maximize the value of straw." Tang Yilin said. Source Xinhua News Agency)
