Every 10 tons of lead in the world is produced by our technology - A. Zharmenov

< p>Astana. December 15. Baq.kz -yesterday in Akorda, the head of state presented a group of scientists of the country with the state Prize in the field of Science and technology. One of them is the general director of the National Center for complex processing of mineral raw materials of the Republic of Kazakhstan, honored inventor of the Republic of Kazakhstan Abdrasil Zharmenov. We talked about the projects developed in the gold and lead metallurgy region, which raised the status of Kazakhstan in the world technology market and made a significant contribution to the innovative development of our country. He told how the new projects are useful and effective for Kazakhstan.

- congratulations to you and your colleagues on the victory. How is the metallurgical industry developing in Kazakhstan? What is your center doing in this regard?

-since Soviet times, metallurgy and mining have been developing well in our country. We have found our place in the world market in some areas, although not in all directions. After gaining independence, having united scientific institutions related to mining, the head of state created the National Center for complex processing of mineral raw materials of the Republic of Kazakhstan. This was his goal. In Soviet times, he strongly criticized science. There was no connection between science and production. We took that into account. We have strengthened our work in connection with production. During its 22-year history, the center has conquered a number of milestones and made many discoveries. We have grouped our works over the past ten years and presented them to the state Prize. The head of state assessed our contribution to science and considered us worthy of this award.

- tell us more about the projects that received the State Prize...

- we presented two of our projects. One is lead, the other is gold mining technology. Since the human race embarked on the path of science, civilization arose and metal production was established, humanity has invented ten to fifteen furnaces for metal production. One of the types of the same stove was invented in Kazakhstan 40 years ago. He nodded. We have developed it by further improving the technology and adapting it to the production of various raw materials. He showed superiority over other world furnaces in the processing of lead, lead concentrate and low-quality concentrates. The newly built factories began to build using our stove. An imperfect earlier version of the furnace was used at the factory in Ust-Kamenogorsk. Currently, this technology is not used in Kazakhstan. Now the quality of raw materials is declining, so I think that in our country they will also use it.

- what is the global market demand for this advanced kivcet oven?

there are many countries in the world that sell kaizba wealth, but few countries that sell technology. This technology is widely used by foreigners . Not for free, of course, they pay us their money. This oven has been tested in many foreign countries. This oven was purchased by production facilities in Canada, Brazil, Italy, North America. In China, 2 factories for the production of lead have been built using our technology. One is a plant for the production of pure lead, the other is a plant for the production of lead from copper. Every 10th ton of lead produced worldwide is mined using our technology. This can be called a great achievement of Kazakhstan's science.

- how much did you evaluate the new technology?

- the price of the oven is different. We give it more expensive when we sell it first. The more we sell, the lower the price. In our own country there will be cheaper than in a foreign state. Then the price of metals fell to the present day. Therefore, the price will also be lower. Our second project is gold mining technology. It is carried out using two methods. The first is the pyrometallurgical approach. It is carried out by placing it in the oven while it is dry, without mixing the water with the gold. It is produced by hydrometallurgical method – by dissolving in water. So, in the composition of gold.For example, if there is a lot of sulfur and arsenic, it is separated and removed by pyrometallurgy. Gold must be extracted from them. If it does not contain so much sulfur, it is carried out by the method of hydrometallurgy. It is obtained according to the pyrometallurgical method, which we found in Kazakhstan,Kyrgyzstan, Russia. More than 15 mining facilities have been built in the country. Every third ton of gold produced in Kazakhstan is produced by our technology. Not only in our homeland, 6 -7 tons of gold are produced in China and 10 tons in Kyrgyzstan using our technology. This is how foreigners buy our technology, which means it's good.

- what are your plans ahead?

- there is an ingot called ferrosilicon, which is difficult to obtain in The Sun. We plan to get it from rice husks. It is an ingot of iron and Silicon. The world receives about 7 million tons of ferrosilicon. But it should not contain aluminum at all. The ingot produced in the world contains about 2 percent aluminum. It costs a lot of money to clean it. There is no aluminum in the husk of rice, there is coal, but it is an organic substance. We found a way to put it in the oven and get a clean ferasilitsi. He is also interested in the present. We have already signed contracts with world giants that are ready to buy as much as you make. It will start soon. Pure ferasilici should be used in the production of steel. We produce 40 thousand tons of it from Kyzylorda. We have no rice to produce more. We are going to build a second plant in Brazil. It is the second largest rice producer in the world.

- Thank you for your conversation!
