The metallurgical industry needs to rely on innovation to enhance competitiveness

At the 2013 China Metallurgical and Mining Technology Conference, Xie Qichun, President of China Metallurgical and Mining Enterprises Association and General Manager of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Mining Company, pointed out in his speech that the metallurgical industry should be based on the development strategy, market demand as the research and development orientation, and pay attention to the prospect of scientific and technological development. Use high and new technology and advanced applicable technology to transform traditional industries and enhance the core competitiveness of the industry.
At present, the world has entered an era of intensive innovation and industrial transformation. The scale and speed of knowledge innovation, dissemination, and application are unprecedented, and the international competition with scientific and technological innovation as the core is more intense.
From the perspective of the global mining development trend, the shallow mineral resources and those with better development conditions are gradually depleted, and the safety and environmental protection requirements are becoming more and more stringent. protrude. Production constantly pursues high efficiency, high benefit and high utilization rate, automatic control and automatic scheduling of production process, informatization of management process, and accelerated development, research and exploration of new fields such as marine minerals and cosmic mineral resources, etc., must be developed with high technology and application-based. From the perspective of domestic metallurgical mines, while the industry is developing rapidly, deep-seated contradictions such as resource constraints, environmental pollution, ecological degradation, and weak security foundations have become increasingly prominent, extensive development methods, low production efficiency, and rising production costs. situation. There are so many problems in the reform, so many risk factors, and the most important task is unprecedented. To solve these problems, we must rely on technological progress and technological innovation to support.
Xie Qichun believes that the development of science and technology determines the future of metallurgical mines, and the metallurgical industry should focus on “guarantee for geological exploration of metallurgical mineral resources, construction of large-scale modern mines, green, safe and efficient mining, high-efficiency, energy-saving and clean ore dressing and processing, modernization of informatization and management, and prediction of geological disasters. Prevention and control, energy saving and emission reduction and comprehensive utilization of resources, key complete sets of equipment and automation and intelligence” and other fields, highlighting “energy saving and consumption reduction, green and low carbon, integration of industrialization and industrialization, cost reduction and efficiency increase”. Carry out basic theoretical research and exploration on major hotspots, difficult issues, and important scientific issues, and strengthen key technological breakthroughs with overall, tendentious, and universal nature. Organize and carry out collaborative innovation in core technologies, basic materials, key processes, and system integration of key complete sets of mine equipment, form a number of technical reserves, overcome a number of technical problems, transform a number of scientific and technological achievements, build a number of industrialization demonstration projects, and promote A batch of advanced and applicable technologies will promote the technological progress and independent innovation of the industry.
