1. Starting with the "dough-mixing dilemma": steel mills also have dough that cannot be kneaded
If ironmaking is compared to making Mantou, iron ore fines are like bulk flour. Traditional processes require adding a large amount of "water" (bentonite) to form a cohesive mass, but the consequences are severe:
Wasting money: For every 10 bags of "flour", 1 bag is wasted as "water"
The Mantou is not solid: it is easy to fall apart when entering the blast furnace, consuming both coal and electricity
Black smoke from the kitchen: not environmentally friendly
The new generation of adhesives is like smart plasticine:
Add less water: 50 jin of flour saves 15 jin, directly turning into profit
Firmly clenched: it remains intact even after being baked at 1500℃, ensuring smoother feeding into the blast furnace
Self-purification: Reduced emissions during firing
II. The Butterfly Effect Unknown to Ordinary People
1. Turning waste into treasure: Iron slag and dust, which were previously thrown away, can now be recycled and repurposed
2. Paving the way for hydrogen energy: adapting to future hydrogen-based ironmaking technology, saving 30% of hydrogen compared to traditional processes
