Calcium formate from Qingli Group has never been just a chemical product. It is an innovative practice in the chemical industry that turns waste into valuable resources, a vivid testament to the company’s commitment to social responsibility, and a significant driving force behind regional green development—its social value has long surpassed the product itself.
For the phosphate chemical industry, the development of Qingli Group’s calcium formate has resolved a long-standing “tail-gas treatment dilemma.” In the past, treating yellow phosphorus tail gas was a major challenge across the sector; most companies resorted to flaring, which not only wasted resources and polluted the environment but also exposed them to the risk of production shutdowns and remediation. Qingli Group’s technological breakthrough has provided the industry with a replicable solution for turning tail gas into valuable resources. To date, more than ten phosphate chemical enterprises have visited to study and learn, planning to adopt similar technologies, thereby driving the entire industry to transition from “end-of-pipe treatment” to “source reduction plus resource utilization,” and propelling the phosphate chemical sector toward greener, higher‑value‑added development.
From a regional development perspective, this product has injected new momentum into the high-quality growth of Guizhou’s chemical industry. Qingli Group, headquartered in Guiyang, has seen its calcium formate production line stimulate the development of both upstream and downstream industries: upstream suppliers, such as catalyst and purification equipment manufacturers, have established operations in the area, while downstream sectors—including advanced processing of calcium formate and logistics services—have emerged, directly creating more than 500 jobs. Meanwhile, the company has reinvested part of its profits in local environmental protection and public welfare initiatives, undertaking ecological restoration in phosphate mining areas and rural wastewater treatment, thus fostering a virtuous cycle of “enterprise development benefiting the local community.”
