Chapter 15 Air Pollution Accidents

On February 3, Keelung Aluminum Plant once again started the work process of aluminum production. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Keelung Aluminum Plant has been in operation for more than three months, using relatively advanced low-temperature and low-voltage aluminum electrolysis technology, and installing a 100 kA prebaked tank electrolytic aluminum production line, with a designed production capacity of 5,000 tons per year, which initially meets the needs of the team at this stage.

Because there is only one aluminum mine in Taiwan, Datunshan, which is a low-grade bauxite, the Keelung aluminum plant can only be designed for such a production capacity.

At 8:30 a.m., the electrolysis workshop of the aluminum plant started the aluminum production equipment after the 110#, 116#, 118#, and 120# electrolytic cells had the conditions for aluminum production.

At 8:58, the first package of 2.4 tons of molten aluminum was transported to the casting workshop and successfully poured into the 3# mixing furnace.

At 10:38, the aluminum ingot production line of the foundry workshop was started, and the molten aluminum flowed slowly in the launder of the casting machine.

With the smooth start of the 1# ingot unit step by step, at 11:05, the first aluminum ingot was successfully rolled off the assembly line, and there was a warm applause at the scene.

Yan Xiaoyu, the director of the factory, has been on the scene to command.

Yan Xiaoyu was originally a technician in the aluminum factory, and after crossing over, he became the director of Keelung Aluminum Plant, the deputy general manager of Keelung Chemical Group, and an academician of the Department of Chemical, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering of the Daming Academy of Engineering.

Watching the pieces of aluminum ingots go off the assembly line smoothly, Yan Xiaoyu's heart was filled with great joy, as if she saw shining gold bricks.

The production of aluminum through electrolysis is still a secret only in the hands of the crossing team, and Yan Xiaoyu feels as if she is producing gold.

In the middle of the 19th century, aluminium was the equivalent of gold and silver, a precious metal enjoyed by the imperial aristocracy.

The French Emperor Napoleon III used aluminum forks at banquets. The King of Thailand used aluminium bracelets. At the Paris Exposition in 1855, it was exhibited with the jewels in the crown, with the label "Silver from Clay".

The China Renaissance Foundation has put some aluminum ingots into the European and American markets, and the profits are quite huge.

Suddenly, the east direction of the factory sounded "Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~!" The alarm sounds.

"What's going on!" Yan Xiaoyu's heart tightened, the easternmost part of the aluminum plant is the exhaust gas purification workshop, could it be that there is something wrong with the flue gas purification system? !

The production of electrolytic aluminum is dominated by air pollution, and the main sources of air pollution are flue gas containing gaseous hydrogen fluoride, solid fluoride salt dust, alumina dust and gaseous sulfur dioxide.

If the electrolytic flue gas permeates the workshop, it will deteriorate the labor and production conditions and seriously affect the health of production workers. The electrolytic flue gas is not purified and diffuses into the atmosphere, which is also very harmful to the ecology.

Keelung Aluminum Plant uses dry purification technology to treat waste gas, and the collected flue gas is collected through the smoke exhaust branch pipe to the smoke exhaust main pipe outside the electrolysis plant, and then sent to the purification system for centralized treatment, with a fluoride purification efficiency of more than 99.5%.

When Yan Xiaoyu ran out of the workshop, he saw a layer of white fog in the sky above the east, and there was a pungent stench in the air.

Not good! This is the smell of sulphur dioxide, which must be a sulphur dioxide gas leak from the sulfuric acid plant next door.

Yan Xiaoyu hurriedly asked the safety and environmental protection team to get the gas mask. "Quick! Bring a few more gas masks and come with me to the sulfuric acid plant to support. ”

It has been more than half a year since the completion of the Keelung sulfuric acid plant, and the production process is to use pyrite for high-temperature roasting, and the sulfur dioxide gas produced is first dusted, and then converted and absorbed to become sulfuric acid.

The pipeline in the absorption section of the sulfuric acid plant was corroded, which caused the pipeline to crack, and the sulfur dioxide ran out in one breath. Taiwan is very wet in winter, and a pungent acid mist like a white mist suddenly appeared over the sulfuric acid plant.

The aluminum plant and sulfuric acid plant are located in Xiehe Village, West Street, Keelung City. At this time, the northwest monsoon was in full swing, and clumps of sulphur dioxide gas were carried by the strong monsoon and soon drifted to the east shore of Keelung Bay.

Bai Baoxiang's office at Ershawan Fort was facing the sea, and because the weather was a little wet and cold, the civil servants placed two braziers in the room.

The charcoal in the brazier was burning very strongly, and Bai Baoxiang felt a little hot, and opened the window to breathe. Clouds of white acid mist drifted in the wind.

Bai Baoxiang coughed several times and quickly closed the window.

He stood in front of the window, glanced at the opposite shore, turned and returned to his desk.

Bai Baoxiang knew in his heart that this was an acid mist formed by sulfur dioxide, and the source of pollution must have come from a sulfuric acid plant.

It has been more than half a year since the construction of the Keelung sulfuric acid plant, and most of the workers are at the elementary level, and the work intensity of the factory is large, and the management is slightly not in place, and there may be one or two accidents.

The pungent smell permeated the entire Anlan City, and people suddenly felt dizzy and had difficulty breathing.

On this day, it was already the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and the cadres from all over the country rushed back to Anlan City one after another, preparing to participate in the two important meetings before and after the New Year.

The 28th of December is the annual meeting of the Huaxia Foundation.

In accordance with the organizational principles of the China Asset Management Foundation, the Board of Directors is required to inform shareholders annually of the Foundation's operating performance and future prospects. Shareholders vote on board elections and major corporate decisions.

The sixth day of the first lunar month is the second congress of the Chinese Renaissance Party. According to the principle established at the first congress, a delegates~congress must be held once a year in the early days of the journey.

"On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, slaughter chickens and catch up with the big gathering", the Spring Festival is approaching, the Anlan City business district is very lively, the commercial street is full of cadres who purchase firecrackers, Spring Festival couplets and other New Year's goods, and taverns and cafes are crowded with cadres.

The poisonous fog shrouded Anlan City, and the people suddenly became furious, and the base camp of the crossing team was actually harassed by poisonous gas, and they called the relevant departments one by one.

The safety of Anlan City was the responsibility of Jinyi Guard, and the political security force quickly reported the situation to the Jinyi Guard Political Security Office.

Chen Yu, director of the Political Security Division, immediately dialed Xu Pangzi's PHS, "Okay, you fat man, what are you eating!" ”

Xu Pang is the director of the sulfuric acid plant, he studied chemistry in college, and after graduation, he was also engaged in chemical analysis, and after the crossing, he established the director of the sulfuric acid plant, the deputy general manager of Keelung Chemical Group, the academician of the Department of Chemistry of the Daming Academy of Sciences, and the academician of the Department of Chemical, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering of the Daming Academy of Engineering.

"I was at the scene of the accident, the pipes had been replaced, and the sulphur dioxide leak was completely under control." In the face of Chen Yu's questioning, Xu Pang complacently admitted his mistake, "This is indeed our responsibility, the relevant personnel made a mistake and did not find the corroded pipeline in time, and I am also at fault for negligence." ”

Xu Pang is a big fat man, his biggest characteristic is laziness, and his biggest hobby is eating. He doesn't like chirping crookedly, and he speaks and does things very simply.

"Based on what was known on the ground, it was a mistake. This section of the pipe looks good on the outside, but in fact the inside has been corroded thoroughly, and the pipeline maintenance worker thought it was okay, so he jumped over it when he inspected it, which was completely negligent and made a mistake. ”

"This will definitely not be the destruction of hostile ~ elements, Zhan Yongping, the leader of the pipeline maintenance team, and Wu Junqi, the pipeline maintenance worker, they are all bitter and bitter, and they are extremely passionate about the work of the Chinese Renaissance Party, and they have made great achievements in the process of the production line being completed and put into operation."

"Yes, yes, yes! I don't agree to send them to labor camps, the production tasks are very heavy, there is a great shortage of experienced skilled workers, they are all good comrades, and they should wash their shame with sweat in their work! ”

finally hung up the phone, and the smile on Xu Pangzi's face disappeared suddenly.

"Hosh Nima, dick! Do you hear it, this is Jinyiwei's call! He jumped up and scolded, "You are all stupid, you are stupid, and you can make a mistake with a hammer knocking on an iron pipe!" ”

Xu Pang is a native of Nanjing, and when he was angry, the Nanjing dialect also popped out.

Zhan Yongping, Wu Junqi and others all knelt on the ground, and tears of shame couldn't help but flow out, "Factory director, we were wrong, we were wrong!" ”

"It's wrong, it's a bad job, and I know it's wrong!" Xu Pang sneered, "There are 3,000 labor prisoners in the Qixingshan Mine who are mining pyrite, and there are not many of you, and there are not many of you. ”

"The labor camp doesn't need you, the sulfuric acid plant is your job! You are members of the Chinese Rejuvenation Pioneer Corps, and you must keep in mind your work responsibilities, 100 percent standardization, 100 percent carefulness, and 100 percent rigor. ”

He helped Zhan Yongping and others up one by one, and said earnestly, "I can only protect you once, and if you make a mistake next time, you will lose your head!" ”

At half past one in the afternoon, a train from Taipei stopped at Keelung Station.

Surrounded by Jinyiwei, Qian Shuiting boarded a luxury carriage and went straight to Ershawan Fort.

All departments of Qian Shuiting's cabinet are now based in Taipei, except for Wang Tiezhu's military department.

At the beginning of last year, Qian Shuiting considered relocating various government ministries to Taipei, after all, Keelung is not a suitable place to control the whole of Taiwan.

In April last year, the original Tongzhi Yamen in Monga City was renovated, and the residences of Huang Longan, Lin Sen, Zhang Debao and others were also transformed into office yamen.

At present, there are only some important organs and departments left in Keelung, such as the Party Central Committee, the Central Military Commission, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Jinyiwei.

Qian Shuiting has been persuading Bai Baoxiang to also relocate to Taipei.

It's just that Bai Baoxiang felt that Anlan City was originally built as a central bank, a large library, and a large auditorium, and he also spent manpower and material resources to build the Diaoyutai Guest House.

It has only been more than a year since the completion and use of Anlan City, and it is said that it will give up and have another "Zhongnanhai" in Taipei, which is too laborious and costly, and manpower is not so wasteful.

"I have long said that Keelung is full of industrial areas, and it is a fluke that pollution accidents do not happen. It happens, it is inevitable, sooner or later something will happen. ”

In Bai Baoxiang's office, Qian Shuiting persuaded Bai Baoxiang again, "Old Bai, I think you should move our base camp to Taipei as soon as possible." ”

"To Taipei?" Bai Baoxiang smiled and shook his head, "This year, the mainland strategy will be implemented, and I am thinking about whether to put the base camp in Ningbo, Hangzhou, Nanjing, or Guangzhou!" ”

"Hehehe!" Qian Shuiting smiled, "Chairman Bai is Chairman Bai, my eyes are still in Taiwan, and you are already thinking about the future development strategy." ”

Bai Baoxiang smiled slightly and pushed the topic away, "By the way, the annual meeting of the Huafu Fund will be held tomorrow." I looked at the meeting documents, and there was no problem with the other contents, that is, the development plan and vision of the foundation for the next stage need to add the content of the mainland strategy. ”
