China's history lasts for five thousand years. It not only has rich historical heritage, but also uses rich minerals and energy resources. As we all know, our country is a major mineral resource country, but according to our understanding, our country imports a lot of iron ore from other countries every year, and the price is very expensive.
So is it because the mineral resources owned by our country cannot meet our country's use needs?
In our daily life, steel products are everywhere, and the iron ore we mentioned today is one of the important components of steel products.
In addition, steel materials are needed in the manufacturing of aerospace, medical care or military weapons. Therefore, my country's demand for steel products, that is, iron ore is very large.
But so far, my country has imported iron ore from abroad at a high price in order to meet the domestic demand for steel products in a timely manner and to provide timely supply. But in fact, foreign iron ore imports do not seem to be as college as we imagined.
First of all, exporting countries need to mine and refine iron ore. These two steps alone will take up to several months. In addition to transportation time, customs and taxes, the time cost is indeed very large.
In this way, is our country full? Of course this is not the case. Even though it takes a long time from mining to actual transportation to my country, there is a reason why my country has to purchase it. The iron content of iron ore exported abroad can actually reach 60% ratio. However, my country's iron ore after mining and refining can reach only 40%. The gap can be imagined. Although the price of imported iron ore abroad is expensive, it is actually very cost-effective.
Because the iron ore mined in my country contains very high impurities before refining, maybe we can extract one ton of iron ore with an iron content of only a few hundred kilograms. You should know that the cost of using large machines for iron ore is also very high. So why don’t we spend this part to buy higher quality foreign iron ore?
Seeing this, I believe there is still a question in your mind: Can the various scrap steel old iron eliminated from military weapons and equipment and daily life in our country every year be extracted from iron ore? If possible, why doesn’t our country perform refining? If possible, where have all these scrap steel in our country gone?
Let’s first answer to your first question. Can it be refined? Of course, it is OK, but let's observe some iron products such as iron pots that have been eliminated in our daily lives. The surface of them is either covered with stains or has rusted.
So if we want to recycle and refine these steels, we need to sort, separate, clean and refine these items, etc. For a large number of steel products, it is of course impossible to manually wash them by hand, but for various types of iron products, using machine cleaning has huge limitations.
In addition to this, the technical means required for refining are also very advanced. There are very few companies in my country that can truly master these technologies, so the efficiency of refining is even less effective.
Therefore, for most of the scrap steel we eliminated, except for refining. Some special steel recycling manufacturers in our country will recycle such steel and then transform them into some other products that can be used in daily life for secondary sales, which can be regarded as truly realizing waste reuse.
. Some of the weapons and equipment we eliminated on military weapons can be sold at low prices to some countries with poor military development. For such countries, it is enough to use the weapons and equipment we eliminated. Those steel that really cannot be used will be split and buried.
So when will our country have iron ore with a higher iron content that truly belongs to us? my country's development speed in recent years can be said to have significantly improved, and its achievements in recent years are also obvious to all internationally.
It can be said that according to the current development speed of our country, my country will definitely be able to master the refining technology with lower cost and higher purity in the next few years, which requires the unremitting efforts of our scientific workers.
and the higher purity iron ore produced is used in the military field, which can also bring another different surprise to my country's military development. We hope that everyone can continue to pay attention to my country's technological development in steel refining, and I believe that future achievements will definitely not disappoint everyone.
