据ICIS网站5月24日报道 印度阿达尼集团计划在古吉拉特邦西部的蒙德拉建设一座200万吨/年的煤制聚氯乙烯（PVC）工厂，耗资2920亿印度卢比（40亿美元）。
Adani Enterprises Ltd（AEL）为该集团的旗舰公司，该公司在2021年4月提交给环境、森林和气候变化部的文件中称，该公司将实施煤制聚氯乙烯项目。
AEL表示，拟建项目预计将生产悬浮聚氯乙烯（树脂）、氯化聚氯乙烯（C-PVC）和乳液聚氯乙烯等产品。
该公司还称，该项目有望在获得所有必要批准后的四年内投产。
AEL表示，该项目约310万吨/年的原料煤将主要来自澳大利亚、俄罗斯和其他国家。
在煤制聚氯乙烯工艺中，煤（焦煤/热煤/煤与石油焦的混合物）通过煤热解装置进行加工，生产电石，再加工成乙炔。
根据公司声明，乙炔气与公司氯碱厂的盐酸一起加工，生产氯乙烯单体（VCM），然后用于制造聚氯乙烯。
该公司还表示，该厂预计每年生产130万吨烧碱，作为聚氯乙烯生产过程的副产品。
副产品将在当地销售或根据需求出口。
AEL表示：“该设施生产的聚氯乙烯将迎合国内市场，并将取代进口。印度强烈依赖进口，以跟上不断增长的国内需求。”

India's Adani Group plans 2m tonne/year coal-to-PVC plant
Indian conglomerate Adani Group plans to build a 2m tonne/year coal-to-polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plant at Mundra in the western Gujarat state at a cost of Indian rupees (Rs) 292bn ($4bn).
Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL) the flagship company of this group will execute the coal-to-PVC complex, the company said in its submission to the Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change dated April 2021.
The proposed project is expected to produce PVC grades such as suspension PVC (resin), chlorinated PVC (C-PVC) and emulsion PVC (paste), AEL said.
The company expects to bring the project align="justify"> Feedstock coal of about 3.1m tonnes/year for the project will be sourced mainly from Australia, Russia and other countries, AEL said.
In the coal-to-PVC process, the coal (coking coal/thermal coal/blend of coal and petcoke) is processed through the coal pyrolysis unit to produce calcium carbide which is further processed to acetylene.
The acetylene gas is then processed together with hydrochloric acid from the company's chloralkali plant to produce vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) which is then used to make PVC, as per the company statement.
The company also expects to produce 1.3m tonnes/year of caustic soda at the plant as a byproduct of the PVC production process, it said.
The byproducts would be marketed either locally or exported depending upon demand.
"PVC produced from the facility will cater to the domestic market and will replace imports," AEL said, citing India’s strong dependence on imports to keep pace with the growing domestic demand.
