Another Honor! Taiji Environmental Protection Wins First Prize of the Metallurgical Science and Technology Award
2026/09/21 8
The 2026 Metallurgical Science and Technology Award, jointly established by the China Iron and Steel Association and the Chinese Society for Metals, has been officially announced. The project "Key Technology Development and Application for Value-Added Utilization of Alumina Bauxite Residue and Steel Slag Dust Mud," in which Ningbo Taiji Environmental Protection Equipment Co., Ltd. participated as a principal contributor, won the First Prize in recognition of its breakthrough achievements in the synergistic treatment and value-added utilization of bulk industrial solid waste.
Top Industry Award with Significant Prestige
The Metallurgical Science and Technology Award is the most authoritative and influential comprehensive science and technology award in China's metallurgical sector, jointly established by the China Iron and Steel Association and the Chinese Society for Metals, representing the highest level of technological innovation in the industry. Following multiple rounds of expert review and rigorous selection, 154 winning projects were selected, of which only 2 received the Special Prize and 32 received the First Prize. Winning the First Prize is an authoritative recognition of the project's technological innovation, engineering application value, and industry-driving impact, and further demonstrates Taiji Environmental Protection's technical strength.
Tackling Solid Waste Challenges and Building Cross-Industry Recycling Pathways
The awarded project addresses two common solid waste challenges in the metallurgical industry:
Red mud from the alumina industry is generated in large volumes, has high alkalinity, and is difficult to comprehensively utilize.
Slag, dust, and mud from the steel industry come in diverse categories with complex compositions and low levels of high-value utilization.
As a core participating unit, Ningbo Taiji Environmental Protection Equipment Co., Ltd. leveraged over a decade of technical expertise and engineering implementation experience in industrial solid waste recycling and flue gas treatment to provide critical support for the project's process optimization, equipment development, and industrial application, advancing the translation of laboratory achievements into replicable and scalable industrial solutions.
Writing a New Chapter in Green Recycling Through Innovation
From pioneering the steel slag desulfurization technology to leading the development of multiple national and industry standards, Taiji Environmental Protection has always been driven by technological innovation, continuously deepening its focus on the industrial green and low-carbon sector, and advancing industrial solid waste from "harmless disposal" toward "large-scale, high-value utilization." This award is both recognition and encouragement. Taiji Environmental Protection will continue to deepen its R&D in industrial solid waste recycling technology, break through key industry bottlenecks, and empower the green transformation of metallurgical, building materials, and other industries with more impactful innovations, contributing to the realization of industrial sector Dual Carbon goals.
