In the synthesis section of Canghai Fertilizer Plant, a group of cadres and engineers stared at the water outlet of the synthesis tower and started shouting.
"The water started to come out just after 300 degrees. What a miracle!"
Meng Hai looked at the thermometer and clicked his tongue repeatedly.
After deciding to develop rare earth catalysts, under the chairmanship of Meng Hai, the technical department of Canghai Fertilizer Plant mobilized all the old documents in the data room, screened them one by one, and collected all articles related to catalysts.
They were picked out and analyzed comprehensively.
Speaking of which, it is true that the engineers and technicians in the technical department are not all freeloaders, and they still have at least the ability to analyze documents.
In the past few years, many units in China have been doing research on catalysts, and there are quite a few relevant documents in this area. The role of rare earths in the catalysis of ammonia synthesis mentioned by Gao Fan has also been discussed in several documents. Although
The words are unclear, but at least it proves that Gao Fan is not making it up based on his imagination.
When everyone was browsing the literature, they found that there was no dust on the covers of these old magazines. After asking the document clerk, they found out that Gao Fan had borrowed these magazines a month ago. It is hard to say how many he had read, but at least every one of them had
He has touched the covers of magazines, and he is the type who can extract a few fingerprints.
In this way, there is an explanation for Gao Fan's evil behavior. I want to ask, who has read all the magazines in the reference room? They work so hard, how can you do it?
On the basis of analyzing the literature, the technical department finally came up with a detailed process design, including the ratio of various raw materials, melting temperature, cooling method, crushing method, final particle size, etc. These contents were all drawn from the designs of other units
In this era, there is no need to talk about patent protection. When many units write papers, they would like to write down all the details clearly, making you feel embarrassed not to learn something from it.
Gao Fan originally wanted to participate in the entire design process, but Gao Yiping forced him to go back to school and only allowed him to visit the technology department after school to see everyone's intermediate results.
In this way, it seems that Gao Fan is some kind of expert, and everyone in the technical department is working for him.
However, no one dared to raise any dissatisfaction, because Gao Fan was indeed a bit of an expert. He did not analyze the literature with everyone, but when looking at the design plans, he was able to put forward some unique suggestions that made everyone's hair wet.
The old engineer Bai felt that he had spent all his life on the dog.
At this point, all doubts about Gao Fan have disappeared. You said that everything he said before was taught by others. Who can teach him this ability to find faults at a glance at the plan?
If you dare to beep a few more times, Gao Fan will take out his pen and write you an equation, tell you about how many kilojoules of heat are released per mole, what about third-level ionization potential, etc., and still look cute on his face.
Ask you if what he wrote is correct.
Even if it’s wrong, I can’t understand it at all!
This is the heartfelt cry of several engineers.
Let's put it this way, in the past two days, the probability of being beaten at home by the children of the technical department of Canghai Fertilizer Factory has increased by 33.33%, because their father comes back from get off work every day with a trace of evil fire, and he often says something when he beats someone. last sentence:
Look at this person!
Who do you mean... don't let me find out!
The children covered their red and swollen buttocks and swore an oath.
Gao Fan's proposal to develop rare earth catalysts was purely a temporary idea. He heard Gao Yiping say that there was a problem with the catalyst, and then he thought that he could develop his own catalyst.
In fact, in this era, it is not uncommon for fertilizer factories to make their own catalysts. Chinese companies like to pursue "big and complete" and "small and complete". Canghai Fertilizer Factory's own machine repair workshop is very powerful, and ordinary equipment breaks down.
, there is no need to go to the original manufacturer to buy parts, the machine repair shop can make it by itself. It is not surprising that some domestic fertilizer factories have built a catalyst workshop when they have nothing to do.
Of course, what Gao Fan wants to do is not to make a batch of catalysts, which is of little significance. He wants to use the technology he brought from later generations to help Canghai Fertilizer Factory develop a catalyst that is better than the existing ones.
For the new product, at least get a Science and Technology Progress Award from the Provincial Department of Chemical Industry, which can give dad some extra points.
When he thought of new products, he suddenly thought of the idea of rare earth catalysts. Nowadays, some units are actually developing rare earth catalysts, but the progress is still relatively slow. In later generations, rare earth catalysts are nothing new. Its advantages
It has also been recognized.
The advantage of developing rare earth catalysts is that the idea is simple. As long as cerium oxide is added to the original catalyst formula, a certain effect can be achieved. The optimal ratio requires repeated trials to obtain, and Canghai Fertilizer Factory does not have such capabilities.
There is no such time, as long as a slight improvement is enough.
Canghai Fertilizer Plant develops rare earth catalysts and has more advantages than domestic scientific research units. That is, the southeastern part of Maolin Province where Cangtang County is located is an important rare earth production area in the country. Cangtang County has a cerium oxide production company.
It is very small and has almost no presence in the county.
But no matter how small the scale is, it is still useful. Rare earths are called industrial MSG. Just sprinkle a little into the product and it will work. Who has ever seen MSG consumed by the pound?
Cangtang County also has a small steel factory, which is of course thanks to the construction of the "Five Local Small Industries" back then. The steel plant is now semi-stopped, and the fertilizer factory needs to use their electric furnace to smelt a furnace of iron oxide.
, it’s really not a troublesome thing.
The catalyst was produced and crushed into small particles with a jaw crusher. It looked the same as the catalyst used in the fertilizer factory in the past. Gao Yiping personally directed the packing, installed about 0.3 cubic meters of catalyst in the synthesis tower, and then started
Arrange original drive.
As mentioned before, the so-called original start-up is to blow a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen into the synthesis tower. The hydrogen reacts with ferric oxide and iron oxide to reduce pure iron and water. The sign of the beginning of the reduction reaction is the water coming out of the synthesis tower. Reduction
The effect, measured by the ratio of actual water output to theoretical water output, generally reaches more than 95%, and can be close to 99%, which is a very ideal state.
The reaction of hydrogen with ferric oxide and iron oxide requires a certain temperature. This temperature is generated by heating in an electric furnace. The higher the temperature required, the higher the power consumption.
Under normal circumstances, the temperature of the water when starting the original driving should be around 350 degrees. Now the water starts to flow just over 300 degrees, which shows that the reduction properties of the catalyst are better than traditional catalysts. Based on this alone, Meng Hai knows that the technical department is working hard these days.
