Chinalco Zhengzhou Nonferrous Metals Research Institute

Chinalco Zhengzhou Nonferrous Metals Research Institute is the only large-scale scientific research institution in the professional field of light metals in China. It is the research and development base for major, key and forward-looking technologies in new technologies, new processes, new materials and new equipment for China's aluminum and magnesium industry. It is a basic research and originality A base for the incubation and transformation of technological achievements. The main research areas include comprehensive utilization of bauxite, alumina, electrolytic aluminum, carbon for aluminum and light metal materials. It has 7 national platforms, including the National Aluminum Smelting Engineering Technology Research Center, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s Nonferrous Metals Green and Low-Carbon Public Service Platform, and the National Aluminum Industry Measurement and Testing Center. Henan Aluminum Smelting Process Resource Comprehensive Utilization Engineering Technology Research Center, China Aluminum There are 9 provincial and ministerial level platforms including big data centers. A complete scientific and technological innovation system for the aluminum industry has been established including basic research, technology development, expanded testing, industrial testing, engineering and industrialization. In 2004, it passed the three major system certifications of quality, health and safety, and environment of China Quality Certification Center (CQC).


The National Light Metal Quality Inspection and Testing Center established by the Zhengzhou Research Institute is mainly responsible for the quality supervision and inspection, product quality evaluation and arbitration of 28 categories of 70 products of aluminum, magnesium and its alloys in China. It is the technical focal point of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in China. One of the units. The affiliated Henan Huahui Nonferrous Engineering Design Co., Ltd. has the "two first and two special" qualifications and is mainly engaged in nonferrous metal smelting engineering consulting, survey, design, general contracting and other businesses.

 

Zhengzhou Research Institute has always been committed to leading the scientific and technological progress of the aluminum industry with independent innovation and promoting the sustainable development of the aluminum industry with integrated innovation. Since its establishment, the institute has completed the R&D and industrialization of a large number of major, key, common and strategic technologies, including the national “863”, “973”, and “Science and Technology Support Plans”, and won a total of 15 national science and technology progress awards, provincial and ministerial level science and technology awards. There were 291 progress awards and 479 patent authorizations, including 13 international patents. The "280KA large-scale aluminum electrolytic cell complete set of technology and equipment" successfully developed and industrialized won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, "No-effect Low-voltage Aluminum Electrolysis Comprehensive Energy Saving and Emission Reduction Technology", "Key Technology for the Production of High-Quality Carbon Anodes", "First Prize" "New Process of Diaspore Pipeline Enhanced Dissolution", "Bayer Process for Ore Beneficiation to Produce Alumina", and "Diasporite Production of Sand Alumina Process" won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, which has greatly improved the technology of my country's aluminum industry. level and international influence and achieved significant economic and social benefits. The high-tech products such as electrical filler alumina, high thermal conductivity alumina, activated alumina, easy-sintering alumina, and various aluminum-based and magnesium-based alloys developed and produced are widely used in national defense, military industry, aerospace, aviation and national key projects. widely used. In recent years, we have actively responded to the national "double carbon" strategy, focusing on the comprehensive utilization of aluminum and magnesium industrial resources, energy conservation and emission reduction, major process technology innovation, big data and intelligent manufacturing, and have made efficient use of bauxite at home and abroad and valuable alumina production processes. A number of major key technologies in the industry, including element extraction, deep wet oxidation, desulfurization and decarbonization, deep energy conservation of electrolytic aluminum, efficient recovery of waste heat on the side of aluminum electrolytic cells, new generation aluminum electrolytic cell collaborative intelligent control systems, and carbon dioxide capture, storage and utilization, have achieved new results. breakthrough.

 

Facing the future, Zhengzhou Research Institute is actively building a source of original technology that serves the national strategy, becoming a leader in green and low-carbon development in the aluminum and magnesium industry, and moving towards the goal of being a world-class non-ferrous metal research institute.
