Indaba Yomkhiqizo | I-UrbanMines: Kusukela Ezimayini Zasemadolobheni Kuya Ezintweni Ezisetshenziswa Esikhathini Esizayo
Sake “sasikhipha” imfucuza yasemadolobheni; namuhla “sicwenga igolide” kusukela kuthebula lezinto eziphindaphindwayo. Phakathi neminyaka ecishe ibe ngamashumi amabili yokuguqulwa, into eyodwa ayikashintshi: ukuphishekela kwethu ingqikithi yezinto zokwakha.
I. Imvelaphi: Ukuzalwa “Kwemayini Yasemadolobheni”
Ngo-2007, eHuizhou, eGuangdong, ifektri encane yaqala ukuthola izinsalela zethusi embonini yokunyathela ngokunemba kwe-3C eNingizimu yeShayina. Ngokusebenzisa amakhemikhali, ukunciphisa, ukuhlukaniswa kanye nokuhlanzwa, yaguqula imfucuza yaba yimpuphu yethusi emsulwa kakhulu.
Lokhu kwakungeyona into elula yokuvuselela imfucuza. Umqondo wayo uvela “ezimayini zasemadolobheni” owaphakanyiswa izazi zaseJapan ngo-1988 — ephatha imikhiqizo yezimboni elahliwe emadolobheni “njengezimayini zasemadolobheni” ezingaphinde zisetshenziswe. Isintu akudingeki sithathe emvelweni kuphela; amadolobha ngokwawo ayingcebo egxile kakhulu.
Le fektri encane yayiyisandulelo se-UrbanMines. Igama elithi “UrbanMines” lihlonipha le filosofi: ukumba inani elisha “emfucumfucwini” yasemadolobheni.
Eminyakeni yokuqala, inkampani yagxila ekukhiqizweni okukhulu kwempuphu yethusi emsulwa kakhulu kanye nempuphu ye-alloy yethusi, futhi kancane kancane yanda yaze yathunyelwa kwamanye amazwe izimpuphu zensimbi ezifana nempuphu ye-nickel, impuphu ye-tungsten kanye nempuphu ye-molybdenum. Kwakuyisikhathi sokuqongelela okungokoqobo — sakwazi ukulawula kahle usayizi wezinhlayiya, ubumsulwa kanye nokuqukethwe komoya-mpilo, futhi saqonda ngokujulile izidingo eziqinile zomhlaba wonke zochungechunge lokuhlinzekwa "lokuhambisana" kanye "nokuthembeka".
II. Ukugxuma: Kusukela “Ekusebenziseni Kabusha” Kuya “Ekudaleni”
Unyaka ka-2012 waba uphawu loshintsho olubalulekile. Le nkampani yasungula ukubambisana okubalulekile embonini-enyuvesi-ocwaningweni nesikole sesayensi yezinto zokwakha eyunivesithi eyaziwayo eGuangzhou, futhi yangena emkhakheni wamakhemikhali ahlanzekile kakhulu ebhethri. Lokhu kusho ukuthi i-UrbanMines yayingaseyona nje into yokuvuselela kabusha "eguqula imfucuza ibe yingcebo", kodwa yaqala ukuklama nokuhlanganisa izinto ezingaphili ngenkuthalo ngemisebenzi ethile.
Eminyakeni eyishumi eyalandela, isimo sezobuchwepheshe senkampani saqhubeka nokukhula: kusukela kuma-compound ensimbi angavamile (i-lithium, i-cesium, usawoti we-strontium) kuya kuma-compounds amahle omhlaba angavamile (i-lanthanum, i-cerium, i-neodymium oxides kanye nezixazululo zomhlaba ezingavamile ezihlanzekile kakhulu), kwathi ngo-2020, sanqoba inqubo eyinhloko ye-boron ekristalu ehlanzekile kakhulu nethimba elivela eyunivesithi ehlonishwayo yaseHong Kong futhi sathola ukuthuthuka kwezimboni ngokutshalwa kwezimali kwezobuchwepheshe - i-node ebalulekile ekukhuphukeni kusukela "ekugxileni ekukhiqizeni" kuya "ekusekelweni kwezobuchwepheshe".
Ngo-2024, inkampani yayisikwakhile uhlelo lokwenza ngokwezifiso lwe-OEM oluhlanganisa izinto ezingaphezu kweshumi zensimbi ezihlanzekile kakhulu ezihlanganisa i-vanadium, i-titanium, i-tantalum, i-niobium, i-hafnium kanye ne-indium. Ngo-2026, abanikazi bamasheya bavumile ukuthuthukiswa okubanzi kwesu, okugxile emikhakheni yokukhiqiza ephezulu njenge-semiconductors, i-aerospace, amandla enuzi, amandla amasha kanye nokuphrinta kwe-3D, kanye nokwakha ama-matrices amathathu omkhiqizo oyinhloko: ama-powder akhethekile e-alloy spherical, ama-powder ensimbi esezingeni eliphezulu e-electronic, kanye nama-powder ahambisanayo e-composite shell.
Kuleli qophelo, i-UrbanMines yaqeda ukuguqulwa kusuka “kumvukuzi wasemadolobheni” kuya “kumchazi wezinto zokusebenza ezithuthukisiwe”.
III. Isisekelo: Hhayi “Ukulahla Okwedlule”, Kodwa “Ukukuchaza Kabusha”
Abanye bayabuza: awusahlanganyeli ekusetshenzisweni kabusha kwethusi elilahliwe, kungani ugcina igama elithi “UrbanMines”?
Impendulo itholakala ku-DNA yethu yamasiko. Igama elithi “izimayini” alikaze lisho ama-mineral deposits ngokwawo, kodwa lisho isimo sengqondo kanye nekhono “lokumba”. Eminyakeni yokuqala, sasimba izinsizakusebenza emfucumfucwini yasemadolobheni; namuhla simba imikhawulo yokusebenza kusukela kuthebula lezinto eziphindaphindwayo. Ngaleso sikhathi sasihlanza izinsimbi ngezinqubo; manje sakha imisebenzi ngomklamo wama-molecule. Okushintshile ukujula kobuchwepheshe; okusalokhu kungashintshi ukuhlola kwethu okuqhubekayo kwengqikithi yezinto zokwakha.
Le DNA “yabavukuzi” isenza siqonde ukusebenza kahle kwezinsizakusebenza kangcono kunezinkampani zokwenziwa kwamakhemikhali ahlanzekile, kanye nokulawulwa kokunemba okungcono kunezinkampani zendabuko zensimbi. Siyazisa ukuzinza kweqoqo ngalinye njengoba sasihlonipha yonke igremu yethusi ephinde yasetshenziswa ngaleso sikhathi — lokhu akuyona nje inkinga yobunjiniyela, kodwa futhi kuyindaba yomthwalo wemfanelo.
IV. Injini: Ukuhlanganiswa Okujulile Kwemboni-Inyuvesi-Ucwaningo
Ukuncintisana okuyinhloko kwe-UrbanMines kusekelwe emisha emisha ebambisene isikhathi eside namaqembu aphezulu esayensi yezinto ezibonakalayo avela eHong Kong nasemanyuvesi asezwenikazi. Sisungule indlela engenamthungo kusukela elabhorethri kuya ekuhlolweni kokuhlola kuya ekuthuthukisweni kwezimboni: amaqembu eyunivesithi athatha izintambo zokuhlola okusezingeni eliphezulu, i-UrbanMines Technology Center iqedela ukwanda kwenqubo, kanti amasheya noma izisekelo zokukhiqiza ngokubambisana ezijulile zenza ukukhiqiza okukhulu.
Lo modeli uvumela ukuguqulwa okusheshayo kobuchwepheshe emikhakheni ehlukanisiwe njenge-boron ekristalu ehlanzekile kakhulu, izimpushana ezihlanganisiwe zegobolondo eliyinhloko kanye nama-oxide omhlaba angavamile amahle kakhulu. Amakhasimende awatholi imikhiqizo kuphela, kodwa nezixazululo zezinto ezibonakalayo eziqinisekiswe kokubili ukuqina kwezemfundo kanye nokuthembeka kwezimboni.
V. Umsebenzi Nekusasa
Imboni yokukhiqiza esezingeni eliphezulu emhlabeni wonke ibhekene noguquko olukhulu lwezinto ezibonakalayo. Umgomo we-UrbanMines ukuhlinzeka amakhasimende omhlaba wonke ngezinto ezisebenzayo ezithuthukisiwe, eziqinisekiswayo nezitholakalayo, ngokusekelwe ezinzuzweni eziphelele zeketanga lezimboni laseShayina futhi eziqhutshwa amakhono okucwaninga embonini-eyunivesithi ahamba phambili emhlabeni. Asinelisekile ngelebula "lokusebenza kwezindleko", kodwa silwela ukuba ngumlingani wezobuchwepheshe othembekile wesikhathi eside ochungechungeni lokuhlinzeka ngokukhiqiza olusezingeni eliphezulu.
Uma sibheka phambili, sizojulisa intuthuko yokusebenza kwezinsimbi ezingavamile ezihlanzekile kakhulu kanye namakhemikhali omhlaba angavamile, sithuthukise iphothifoliyo yomkhiqizo we-alloys eyindilinga kanye ne-core-shell composite powders, futhi sithuthukise umqondo wokuqala wokuvuselela kabusha ube yimikhuba eqhubekayo "yokukhiqiza ngekhabhoni ephansi" kanye "nokusetshenziswa kwezinsizakusebenza zomkhiqizo ohlukile".
Izindaba zomkhiqizo ezinhle kakhulu zihlala ziqhubeka. I-UrbanMines ngeke ihlale “ezimayini ezedlule”, kodwa izoqhubeka nokumba emngceleni olandelayo wezinto zokwakha.
Kusukela ezimayini zasemadolobheni kuya ezintweni zesikhathi esizayo. Siyaqhubeka nokumba.
