What’s the caveat if any? And what’s the name of the company with the patent? They publicly traded? Lol
Another one of those lab-proven „new methodologies“ with bold claims in the title.
The flash iron making method, as detailed by Professor Zhang Wenhai and his team in a paper published in the peer-reviewed journal *Nonferrous Metals* last month, can complete the iron making process in just three to six seconds, compared to the five to six hours required by traditional blast furnaces.
This represents a 3,600-fold or more increase in speed. The new method also performs exceptionally well with low or medium-yield ores, which are plentiful in China, according to the researchers, *the South China Morning Post*
Zhang’s team has developed a vortex lance that can inject 450 tonnes of iron ore particles per hour. A reactor equipped with three such lances produces 7.11 million tonnes of iron annually. As per the paper, the lance „has already entered commercial production.“
Seem too good to be true. I guess we’ll see in a year or two if this is the real deal.
A new flash iron making technology developed in China can complete the iron making process in just three to six seconds, a 3,600-fold increase in speed compared to traditional blast furnaces.
The new method, which eliminates the need for coal entirely, could improve energy use efficiency in China’s steel industry by over one-third and help achieve near-zero carbon dioxide emissions.
China’s steel industry, which currently relies on blast furnace smelting processes, faces a significant challenge in meeting ambitious carbon reduction goals, but the new flash iron making technology developed by Professor Zhang Wenhai’s team shows promise in addressing this issue.
Legendary foundry with legendary productivity modules.
Let me guess – all i takes is perfect vacuum, combined with pressure and temperature comparable to the conditions in the center of a star?
My guess is it’s 3600 times more efficient for small batches once everything is set up and ready to run.
TLDR: You can see the innovation in the background of the picture here. Where normally these ironworkers would be shirtless and glistening, they now all have to wear shirts. No exceptions!
Some of the productivity gains are safety related, some comes from less time „managing distractions and tension“. And of course fewer dance breaks.
