Although the department leaders of several functional departments are not low in education, they either have no experience in scientific research and development, or have no science background, or their previous careers have no intersection with the management of technology development, so they know nothing about Dr. Tong's words at most.

Seeing that the leaders were at a loss, Tong Wei continued to explain: "In the design process of the design department, our optimization test in the laboratory is still continuing, in the process, several new processes have been discovered, and after further verification through repeated tests, the process flow diagram has been designed, but according to our latest findings, the original process must be changed in order to achieve satisfactory results." Therefore, after we put forward the new process conditions, the design department has to modify the original design, which inevitably delays the start of construction. ”

"Dr. Tong, if I'm not mistaken, the responsibility for modifying the design and causing the delay in the construction period is not the design department, right?" asked Director Zhou from the science and technology department.

Tong Wei smiled frankly and helplessly, "If the leader has to mention the word responsibility, then we are the responsible party and have nothing to do with the design department." ”

Director Hua from the environmental protection department feels that the word "responsibility" is a bit heavy, scientific experiments themselves are a process of continuous exploration and discovery, and it is really not necessary to raise it to the height of responsibility, especially environmental protection technology, if the treatment effect does not meet the requirements, it costs money, and is not conducive to environmental protection, which is tantamount to working the people and hurting money, covering up the ears and stealing the bell, rather than this, it is better to use more time, steady and steady, and do the basic work solidly, which is beneficial and harmless to the next practical application.

"According to Dr. Tong's meaning, if the optimization experiment is to find a more effective treatment method, I think even if the pilot plant is delayed, it is worth encouraging, for environmental protection technology, one of the most important indicators is to measure the effect of harmless treatment, Dr. Tong, it seems that you have found a better treatment method?" said Director Hua.

"Realistically speaking, the results of the treatment method obtained in the early stage and the method found in the optimization experiment are basically the same for the harmlessness of the failed electrolyte, and it should be said that both have good results. Dr. Tong said.

"Why use the results of the optimization experiment to modify the completed design when the treatment effect is comparable?" several division chiefs invariably asked.

"Well, there are two main reasons for this. First of all, in the early process conditions, the raw materials used are not only scarce and the price is high, but also there are risk factors such as flammability and explosion in the process of storage, transportation and use. In addition, the ultimate goal of our development of this technology is to make it have practical value, even if the technology is advanced, the technology without practical value is meaningless to society, so in the process of optimization experiments, we have found cheaper and safer raw materials, effectively reducing the cost of the harmless treatment process of failed electrolytes. Tong Wei explained.

"This can be understood, in the enterprise to do technology development, in addition to considering the advanced nature of technology, but also to consider the practicality and production costs, for the harmless treatment of the failure of electrolytes, it must be the lower the cost, the better, the environmental protection industry is originally a high input and low output industry, if the cost of raw materials in the process of treatment is too high, so that the project is in a state of loss, the enterprise has no enthusiasm, which is not beneficial to the application and promotion of the technology. Director Fang is the leader of the industry and information technology department, and he is most concerned about the industrialization prospects of the project.

Lao Yang, as the director of the planning department of the development and reform department, has the same view as Lao Fang, and it is because he is too eager to expect the industrialization of this technology that he prompted this field investigation, "I also agree that the technology should have practical value, Dr. Tong, you are interested in both the front and back work."

Has the cost of processing under the conditions of art been specifically calculated, and how much is the difference between the two?"

"After preliminary calculations, to be honest, if the initial test results are followed, in the process of mass production, even if the government subsidy is added, the harmless treatment of the failed electrolyte will be a loss. After the later optimization of the process conditions, under the pilot scale, the cost can be guaranteed, if it is operated on an industrial scale, combined with various subsidies, the recycling of waste batteries will have a slight surplus. Dr. Tong said.

"That means that if the practicability of the technology is not taken into account, the construction of the pilot plant will not be delayed if the initial experimental results are used?"

"Yes, but that kind of technology, even if it is advanced, the enterprise will not adopt, unless your functional departments can give more subsidies to the Changda Group, so that the enterprise is profitable, otherwise, even if all kinds of procedures have been completed, we will not invest in the construction of industrial production lines for the recycling of waste batteries. From the perspective of the enterprise, Ye Jiayi said bluntly.

Director Hua of the environmental protection department nodded in agreement, "I understand the idea of enterprises, for general civilian projects, no company is willing to lose money and make money, and no one wants to do things that do not make money." Dr. Tong, I would like to ask a more technical question, what kind of substances do failed electrolytes become after your harmless treatment, and are these environmentally harmless substances finally discarded into the environment, or is there any other use?"

Director Hua studied environmental engineering at university, and he was very interested in this aspect of the problem, although it was elaborated in the project report, but it was relatively general, and Lao Hua wanted to hear Dr. Tong's explanation of this issue in person.

"The failed electrolyte that has been harmlessly treated is still a solid form of substance, firstly, it cannot be acidic or alkaline, secondly, its redox properties have been eliminated, making it an inert substance, and thirdly, it does not contain heavy metals and toxic and harmful components. Such solid waste can be used as a building material for road construction. Dr. Tong said.

Lao Hua seemed to want to show his expertise in front of everyone, and he continued: "In other words, the treated failed electrolyte is a solid substance that is non-corrosive, does not contain heavy metals and toxic components, and has stable properties. Dr. Tong, I have two questions, first, is this substance absolutely safe? Second, you said that it can be used as a building material for building roads, which construction company have you signed a cooperation agreement with now?"

Ye Jiayi interjected: "Please answer the first question Dr. Tong, and I will answer the second question, Tong Wei, please." ”

Dr. Tong thought for a moment, "Regarding the first question, that is, the ineffective electrolytes after harmless treatment, Director Hua asked if this substance is absolutely safe, I can only say that there is no absolutely safe substance on the earth, no matter how good the wine, drinking too much is still intoxicating, no matter how delicious the meal, eating too much still makes the stomach uncomfortable, this is not a bar." As for whether the failed electrolyte after treatment is absolutely safe, I would like to guarantee that it is stable in nature and does not contain heavy metals and toxic components.

"This ...... "Lao Hua only cares about asking his own questions, but he has no preparation for this, in fact, he can't put forward any indicators, "I don't know the specific requirements, if it is used as a building material for road construction, at least it will not have an impact on the surrounding environment of the road." ”

"Compared with several major building materials used in road construction, such as road asphalt, cement and white ash, the failed electrolyte is much safer than those materials from the perspective of environmental protection after harmless treatment! After all, white ash has strong alkaline, cement contains trace amounts of radioactive substances and heavy metals, and road asphalt is made of a variety of high boiling point, difficult to decompose organic straight chain or aromatic

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Some of the components are highly toxic to the environment and organisms, while the harmless electrolytes do not contain any of these harmful components. Dr. Tong analyzed.

"Well, what Dr. Tong said is very reasonable, the failed electrolyte that has been harmlessly treated not only does not contain toxic and harmful components, but also compared with white ash, cement or road asphalt, in the process of road repair, no matter which company can not use this material as the main building material for road construction, after all, the province and even the whole country, every year from the waste battery elimination of the failed electrolyte, even in the future when new energy vehicles are popularized in the whole society, at most 1,800 tons, as a road building material, this amount is similar to white ash, Cement is nothing compared to road asphalt. Director Yang does not want Lao Hua to get entangled in this matter, so as not to affect the progress of the project.

From Lao Yang's words, his attitude can be seen, and the two directors of the science and technology and industry and information technology departments said at the same time: "The utilization plan of the failed electrolyte after harmless treatment is feasible and the safety is guaranteed, and Dr. Tong's plan is worthy of recognition." Or could there be a more reasonable and scientific suggestion than that?"

With the participation in the field research of a total of four functional departments of the four directors, the other three are on the Changda Group technology center research and development work to affirm, only Lao Hua's point of view seems a little different, perhaps in order to show his professionalism, he deliberately entangled in technical details, for general problems, Dr. Tong tried his best to make a detailed explanation, but when it comes to specific process conditions and other technical secrets, Tong Wei politely refused.

"Even if Dr. Tong's plan is feasible, the second question I mentioned earlier, which construction unit will use these harmless failed electrolytes, has Changda Group found a suitable home now?" asked Director Hua.

Ye Jiayi took it, "I said it just now, and I will answer this question." Dr. Tong has already clarified the use of the recovered failed electrolytes, and for this reason, we have made initial contact with several road construction companies and reached a verbal agreement with them on the premise of no charge. ”

Mr. Ye, not that I deliberately find fault, in reality, many units engage in environmental protection projects, after getting subsidies or support funds from our functional departments, we are in violation of the yang and yin, saying one thing, and doing another, I hope that this project will not be in this situation, the failure of the electrolyte should not only achieve harmless treatment, but also find the use and use of the unit after treatment, to ensure that it is not discarded casually. ”

"Director Hua is worthy of being the leader of the environmental protection department! But here I want to make two explanations, first, the project is still in the pilot plant construction stage, there is at least one to two years before industrial production, such a long time interval, one or two years in advance to sign a cooperation agreement, even if we have such an idea, the other party will not agree, because there is no need at all! Second, not self-proclaimed, Changda Group is a very honest private enterprise, Director Hua just mentioned the kind of functional departments that go against the law and defrauding government subsidies and support funds, Changda Group has never even thought about it, when engaged in traditional industries, we are the city's environmental protection model unit, the key is that Changda Group has never relied on support funds and government subsidies to live!" Ye Jiayi replied.

"Mr. Ye, I'm just saying that there is that kind of social phenomenon, not that Changda Group is that kind of enterprise. Lao Hua felt that his words were inappropriate and wanted to recycle.

"Huachu, no matter what you mean, Changda Group's reputation in the society for so many years is there, and it can't be changed by a few casual words. ”
