Panzhihua city has become the biggest steel production base in western region of China, as well as the nation's largest material and product base of titanium, the world's second large vanadium product base and the only whole flow sheet titanium industrial base in China. Panzhihua city has the ultra large deposit of vanadium and titanium magnetite associated with multi metal in the world, which is the development foundation of Panzhihua. This deposit has such characteristics as huge resources reserve, high economic value, easy for mining but hard for processing, etc. Several key technologies, after the efforts of many generations, have been broken through, followed by the large-scale industrial utilization of iron, vanadium and titanium. Moreover, six main industries, i.e., mining and processing, iron and steel, material of vanadium and titanium, titanium white and titanium metal, as well as their associated industries are formed. However, there are also some problems occurring in rapid development of the above industries, such as the relatively poor comprehensive utilization of resources, some un-breakthrough key technologies, the urgent problem of energy-saving and environmental protection, the unmatched industry scale for the resource reserves and so on. There are many reasons for the above problems, but the most important problem is the loose combining of industry, market and technology. Furthermore, there also exists uncertainty development direction of resource integrated exploiting and lacking of systematic thinking, top-level strategic thoughts and top design, etc.This research is based on the background of implementing the new round of western development planning as well as adjusting and revitalizing of iron and steel industry. The comprehensive utilization of vanadium and titanium resources in Panzhihua is encouraged by state's policy and a series of policies. A target of construction " world-class vanadium titanium industry base" is proposed by Sichuan province and another strategic target of " building China's vanadium and titanium capital and constructing a strong city of special economy" is proposed by Panzhihua city. These targets will have a great and long period influence on the comprehensive utilization of vanadium and titanium resources in Panzhihua.In order to solve the problems existing in the comprehensive utilization of vanadium and titanium resources in Panzhihua, adapt to national economic and industrial policy adjustment and realize the targets proposed by Sichuan province and Panzhihua city, a new strategic research tool is urgently needed for summing up the past, clearing status and system analyzing the future direction, goal and the path of resources recovery. The technology roadmap provides us an idea to solve these problems.In this dissertation, the main analysis method of technology roadmap, combined with brain storm, SWOT analysis, and questionnaire etc, are used for a comprehensive summarizing of vanadium and titanium magnetite ore in Panzhihua and compared with domestic and international related resources. The six main industries formed in the comprehensive utilization of vanadium and titanium resources in Panzhihua as well as their associated industries are comprehensively analyzed and SWOT analysis is also employed for six main industries. The development strategies are proposed and the technology roadmap of the comprehensive utilization of vanadium and titanium resources in Panzhihua is also designed, including the industrial goal, key technologies, technology importance, two levels (international and domestic) technology gaps, as well as key technologies for priority development. Meanwhile, the seven industrial scales between 2015 and 2020 are forecasted.Based on the systematic analysis of six main industries and their associated industries, as well as comparative analysis with domestic and international related industries, the development directions of comprehensive utilization of vanadium and titanium resources in Panzhihua are suggested as follows:(1)Mining and processing industry:the demand of iron ore in recent years has been continuously increasing with the steady development of economy in China; however,60% of iron ore is depended on importing. Hence, we should make full use of the advantages of vanadium and titanium magnetite ore, which has the huge reserves and is easy for mining. Although the mining and processing industry has remarkable scale, the production techniques and equipment level should be further enhanced and the development potential is huge.(2)Iron and Steel industry:although the global focus has shift from Europe to Asia, the downturn demand situation of steel is hard to improve in short time. Steel output will also be increasing, but the output of blast furnace pig-iron will keep stabilized. China has become a global growth focus and has the huge demand for steel. The huge demand situation of steel in China expects to continue increasing until 2020; however, it is the typical structural overcapacity at present. Panzhihua faces many problems now, such as insufficient capacity, technology problems, supplementary resources problem and transportation problem, etc.(3)Vanadium industry:global vanadium resources and industries are highly concentrated. The 85% of vanadium are used as additives in steel industry and the demand of vanadium may be increased significantly with the increasing application field of vanadium. Although the domestic vanadium industry is highly monopolized, it still has a huge development space as a result of outspread of vanadium industry chain.(4)Titanium material industry:the international titanium iron ore has formed an oligarch competitive situation and China is highly depended on import. There is still a technical bottleneck in utilization of Panzhihua titanium concentrates for large-scale producing chlorinated raw material.(5)Titanium white industry:the titanium white industry is highly concentrated in developed countries and the principal method for producing titanium white is chlorination process. Unfortunately, China is a production country rather than the power country for producing titanium white. The production capacity and scale of Panzhihua occupy the national first place, hence the chlorinated titanium dioxide method is expected to make great breakthrough.(6)Titanium metal industry:global titanium sponge and titanium production are highly monopoly and the main application fields transfer from aerospace steering to civil application fields. China's capacity and output of titanium sponge ranks the first in the world, but the disparity of technology level in titanium processing compared with the external advanced technology level is bigger. Panzhihua possesses the ability of producing titanium sponge, titanium ingot and titanium plate roll and ferrotitanium, the scale, however, is not as expected.(7)Associated industry:in the course of exploitation and utilization of Panzhihua vanadium and titanium magnetite ore, the associated industries, i.e., acid, chlor-alkali, mechanical processing, testing and environmental protection industries are formed and there is a large development space for these associated industries.SWOT analysis is employed for six main industries formed from the exploitation and utilization of Panzhihua vanadium and titanium magnetite ore. For the advantages of various industries, resource has the prominent advantage and more good policies are needed for this industry. The industrial chain has an obvious front-end advantage, but a weak back-end. For the disadvantages of various industries, most of the industries exists technical bottleneck and part of the industries is lack of auxiliary industry support. Lacking of high-tech products and inconvenience transportation have become the important restrictive factors. From the view of opportunity, there are some good factors for Panzhihua, such as the great western development, the national new industrialization industry demonstration base, strategic resources comprehensive and development experimental zone; furthermore, many key technologies are in eve of break through and most industries' market prospect is good. There are also some threats, such as strong competition of the international market, rapid developing of domestic similar resource cities and surrounding area, hardly breaking through of technology barrier in short time, difficult entry into high-end market and the lager pressure of environmental protection, energy saving and emission reduction. Many countermeasures are proposed from the perspectives of improving the comprehensive efficiency utilization of resource, strengthening technical innovation and transformation the achievements, extending the industrial chain, training the key leading enterprises, enlarging the industrial scale, and cultivating brand awareness etc.Based on the analysis of market demand, national strategy, industrial situation, departments and industry planning and so on, a lot of development targets, such as improving the comprehensive utilization efficiency of resources, expanding production capacity, enhance the technical level, promoting safety and environmental friendly, efficient and low cost, extending the industrial chain, development high value-added product and expanding market, are proposed. Around these development targets,82 items of key technologies are proposed by fully analyzing and researching. Each item technique is described and the significance index (SI) distributes as follows:SI>90 is 13 items; SI between 80-90 is 39 items; SI between 70-80 is 26 items; SI between 60-40 is 4 items. Compared with the international advanced technology, the results are distributed as follows:4 items have large gap; 58 items have gap between middle and large; 18 items have gap between small and middle; 2 items have small gap. Compared with the domestic advanced technology, the results are distributed as follows:31 items have gap between middle and large; 41 items have gap between small and middle; 8 items have small gap; 3 items are leading domestic. The realization time schedule of 82 items of key technologies is forecasted. The results shows that 23 items can be realized before the year of 2015 and 56 items between the years of 2015-2020; however,3 items will be realized until the years of 2020-2025. The technologies which can be mainly depend on self-research are 17 items and 3 items must depend on technology import. Based on the analysis and comparison among industries, the technology items of each industry that should be priority development in five years are 42 items and the technology items of each industry that should be priority development at present are 13 items.According to the market price of seven main industries in 2010, the predicted industrial output values of 2015 and 2020 are 110.1 billion RMB and 181.27 billion RMB, respectively. The technology roadmap formed in this paper is the world's first one for comprehensive utilization of mineral resources technology, the first one for domestic resources comprehensive utilization technology and the first one for industry technology in Sichuan province. It is of great significance in understanding the technology route of comprehensive utilization of vanadium and titanium resources in Panzhihua, systematic knowing the characteristic of vanadium and titanium resources and market prospect as well as Promoting technological progress, industrial perfect, resource integration and university-industry cooperation.
