Hunan Nonferrous Metals Research Institute has strong scientific research strength and strong engineering and technical strength. In the past 50 years, 2,706 scientific research projects have been completed and 44 scientific research achievements have been made, including national, provincial and ministerial invention awards 102 and scientific and technological progress awards 29. Especially in the research and production of antimony, cobalt and bismuth series products, alloy materials, water quality stabilization technology and related chemicals, environmental protection and comprehensive utilization of resources in non-ferrous metals industry, etc., some technologies or products have filled the gaps in China. In recent years, the main award-winning achievements are: "drip constant current regulating device", which won 200 1 "utility model patent certificate"; "Research on Comprehensive Utilization of Sulfate Residue of Guangdong Yunfu Pyrite Enterprise Group Company" won the "First Prize of China Nonferrous Metal Industry Science and Technology" in 2002; "Experimental Study on Reuse of Purified Water and Stability of Water Quality after Full Treatment of Wastewater from Daye Nonferrous Metal Copper Smelter" won the second prize of China Nonferrous Metal Industry Science and Technology in 2003; "Research on recycling technology of heavy metal wastewater in nonferrous metal industry", won the first prize of Hunan Science and Technology Progress Award in 2005; "Research on comprehensive technology of recycling heavy metal wastewater in nonferrous metal industry", won the second prize of National Science and Technology Progress Award in 2006; "Study on Comprehensive Recovery of Associated Copper Resources in Qibaoshan Lead-zinc Mine, Jiangxi Province", won the "First Prize of Scientific and Technological Progress in Hunan Province" in 2006; "Study on preparation and application of low-cost and high-performance cathode material Li-Mn-Ni-Co-O" won the second prize of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Science and Technology Award in 2007; "Research on Improving Complex Copper, Lead and Zinc Mineral Processing Index and Industrial Application" won the second prize of Tibet Science and Technology Progress in 2008; The project "Efficient Separation Technology and Industrial Application of Complex Copper, Lead and Zinc" won the first prize of scientific and technological progress of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association in 2009.
At present, two main business systems have been gradually formed and established: research and development of mineral resources development and utilization technology (scientific research, design and engineering) and development and production of new materials.
In the research and development of mineral resources development and utilization technology, the key technical fields are: comprehensive utilization technology of resources, processing technology of complex and refractory minerals, combination technology of mineral processing and metallurgy, new metallurgical materials technology and environmental protection technology. In recent years, lithium cobaltate has made outstanding achievements in various technical fields. Technical field of metallurgical new materials: The project "Study on preparation and application of low-cost and high-performance cathode material Li-Mn-Ni-Co for lithium ion batteries" won the second prize of scientific and technological progress in China nonferrous metal industry, and the industrialization prospect of the results is good; The project "Research and Development of Pantograph Skateboard for High-speed Train" has completed the appraisal of achievements and entered the stage of industrialization preparation. Technical field of processing complex and refractory minerals: The project "Research on Improving Mineral Processing Index and Industrial Application of Complex Cu-Pb-Zn Polymetallic Sulfide Ore" has completed the appraisal of the results, and the results have been successfully applied in Zhong Kai Company of Tibet, which has achieved great economic benefits. Technical field of comprehensive utilization of resources: he presided over a major scientific and technological project in Hunan Province, "Key Technologies and Engineering Demonstration of Energy Saving and Emission Reduction in Heavy Metal Smelting", and the successful implementation of the project greatly promoted the energy saving and emission reduction work of Hunan nonferrous enterprises.
In the development and production of new materials, we independently developed and designed complete sets of production technologies for products such as cobalt tetroxide, bismuth salt, vanadium pentoxide (extracted from stone coal vanadium ore) and palladium powder, and all of them were successfully industrialized, among which the bismuth salt production line was the largest in China. Our own industrial development has also begun to take shape and is developing rapidly. The main product lithium cobaltate is in short supply in the market.
Hunan Nonferrous Metals Research Institute attaches great importance to qualification construction and strives to improve its service function. In 2007, it passed the ISO900 1:2000: 2000 quality management system certification, and was awarded the title of high-tech enterprise in Hunan Province in 2008. With professional qualifications such as engineering consulting, metallurgical mine engineering design, metal smelting engineering design and environmental protection engineering design. At the same time, it also has the qualifications of environmental impact assessment, labor safety assessment of construction projects, labor safety and hygiene assessment, special assessment of dangerous chemicals, safety assessment of non-coal mines, and preparation of water and soil conservation plans for development and construction projects. It is the only professional research institution with safety and environmental protection R&D qualification and ability in China, and also has the "Hunan Nonferrous Metals Quality Supervision and Inspection Authorization Station", which is the only authoritative institution for quality supervision and inspection of nonferrous metals products in Hunan Province.
