Abstract

Although China produces more than 80% of the world's total raw magnesium, we are still lack the technology that can produce high purity magnesium in large scale with affordable cost. This, in turn, seriously restricts the development and application of these high-end products and thus threatens the strategic security of the country in related fields. In this report, I will share with you my story with magnesium. By recourse to the innovation of technical principle, we have invented a technology that can meet the market demand for magnesium’s purity and price at the same time. The industrial application of our technology expects to improve the quality and performance of magnesium based new material and performance.

虽然我国生产的原镁占全世界总产量的80%以上，但缺乏能大规模低成本生产高纯镁的技术，进而威胁到国家在相关领域的战略安全。本报告讲述了单智伟研究团队如何通过工艺原理创新，使所生产的高纯镁能够同时满足市场对其纯度和价格的要求，所取得成果的应用和推广，期望全面提升镁基新材料的品质和性能。
