The technology of making high purity tantalum ingots from waste tantalum blocks invented by the team has won the national patent. The technology turns waste into treasure, which not only realizes the recycling of special metal resources, but also greatly reduces the production cost of the enterprise, and realizes the "win-win" of environmental protection and industrial benefits. It is reported that the company's technology innovation team currently has more than 20 core members, master's degree or above accounted for 25%. "Whether it is technical backbone, or production backbone, as long as you can make achievements will be rewarded, house, car award, the company's staff innovation enthusiasm is very high.
"Tantalum deposits are very limited, but industrial production cannot be discontinued, and electrolytic capacitors are the main end consumer of tantalum. According to luo denggao, deputy general manager of the company, tantalum is a special and rare metal. Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, tantalum has become an indispensable strategic material for the development of electronic industry and space technology. In the past 20 years, tantalum powder used in the production of electrolytic capacitors worldwide is generally 600 to 1,000 tons per year. About 100 to 200 tons of tantalum capacitors are discarded due to the damage of tantalum products, the end of their life and natural elimination. For the recovery and reuse of waste tantalum, the south tantalum and niobium technology innovation team USES the patented technology, and the final tantalum purity can reach 99.95% to 99.99%.
