The Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Metallurgy takes it as its mission to promote the development of uranium mining and metallurgy industry in China. Always insist on serving the production and construction, attach importance to the combination of far and near, actively carry out applied basic research and develop related majors and disciplines at the same time on the premise of ensuring the completion of uranium process research and development. Continuously expand technological advantages; Adhering to the reform of the scientific and technological system is the only way for the development of scientific and technological work, which is the direction and historical task of Beijing Institute of Chemical Metallurgy of the nuclear industry.
In the early days of 1958, uranium ore dressing and metallurgy was still a blank in China, and everything had to be started from scratch. However, the staff of the Institute are self-reliant, learn from Soviet experts with an open mind, and insist on "learning by doing". Without equipment, they will start with simple methods because of ignorance. If there is a shortage of funds, we will do more with less money. In the shortest time, we extracted 1 uranium ingots and 1 thorium ingots from uranium-rich and thorium-rich ores in China. The light yellow crystal uranium hexafluoride was trial-produced in the laboratory. Filled the domestic gap; Actively carry out research on key materials for uranium extraction, such as resin and flocculant, so that key materials can be based in China. Although the Soviet Union later tore up the contract and withdrew experts, which caused great harm and difficulties to the uranium mining and metallurgy industry, the scientific and technical personnel of the whole hospital, inspired by the call of "self-reliance, passing the technical barrier, quality first and safety first", actively organized manpower to help the uranium Shui Ye plant pass the technical barrier and verify and improve the technological process of the uranium Shui Ye plant designed by the former Soviet Union with a strong sense of national pride and responsibility for the nuclear cause. The first batch of uranium factories in Shui Ye were built and put into operation. 1July, 960, our institute undertook the production task of uranium dioxide and uranium tetrafluoride. With their accumulated knowledge and experience, scientific and technical personnel tried their best to strengthen cooperation and take measures to overcome the difficulties in equipment, materials and technicians, and produced tons of uranium dioxide and uranium tetrafluoride by simple methods, which met the needs of experimental research in subsequent units, provided raw materials in time for China's first nuclear test and accelerated the work process of testing the first atomic bomb.
1964 65438+1October 16 the success of China's first atomic bomb explosion marked the completion of the establishment stage of China's atomic energy industry from scratch and entered a new period of improvement, enhancement and development. So far, our institute has completed research or improved a batch of uranium treatment processes in Shui Ye factory, including a uranium purification process. According to the instructions of the Ministry and Bureau and the requirements of 1965- 1972 medium-and long-term development plan of science and technology, our institute has carried out the second batch of supplementary research on Shui Ye plant, the third batch of research on the construction technology of uranium Shui Ye plant and the research on uranium purification technology; Research on new technologies, new equipment, new materials and new analytical methods has been carried out; And a more economical and reasonable innovative transformation process for tapping the potential of old factories. At the same time, according to the task jointly issued by the Ministry and the State Science and Technology Commission, metallurgical research on extracting natural radioactive elements radium and thorium was carried out. Due to the particularity of the industry, our institute attaches great importance to the research work of three wastes treatment in uranium mining and metallurgy. During this period, according to the environmental protection needs of the developing uranium mining and metallurgy industry, the researchers of our institute set up a laboratory for the treatment of three wastes, and selected the environmental problems that factories and mines urgently need to solve as key scientific research topics. The research results of wastewater treatment in some factories in Shui Ye have successively won major technical progress awards from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. During this period, the Cultural Revolution took place, and ten years of turmoil caused irreparable losses to the scientific research work of our institute. However, according to the instructions of the higher authorities, our hospital stepped up scientific research and production and completed various tasks assigned by the Ministry and the bureau. 1974 10, 1 750 factory was changed into a public institution and designated as the leader of our hospital. After 1974, our college carried out the activities of "learning from Daqing" and "striving for Excellence", and all the work was carried out very vigorously. On the basis of summing up the achievements of past scientific research, it is proposed to break through the technical barriers of alkaline Shui Ye process, make a fuss about the comprehensive utilization of uranium ore and uranium-bearing deposits, and study and adopt new technologies in scientific research to catch up with the advanced world level.
After 20 years' efforts, with the completion and commissioning of 1, the second batch and the third batch of Shui Ye factories, the scientific research work of our institute has entered a new era. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee put forward the development policy that "the nuclear industry should shift its focus to the utilization of the national economy on the premise of ensuring military use". Therefore, on the basis of the reform of scientific research system and management mechanism, our institute has strengthened the leadership of scientific research and promoted the development of scientific research in our institute. In accordance with the principle of "giving full play to advantages, paying attention to benefits, combining distance and military with civilian", we will constantly explore new ways of converting military to civilian. By vigorously exploring the technology market, implementing the horizontal paid contract system, vigorously promoting the reform of the scientific research system, and pushing the work of serving the people to a new stage, we have taken a solid step in realizing the transformation from scientific research to scientific research, development and management. Since then, our hospital has entered an all-round development period of protecting the army for the people, supporting the army for the people, focusing on nuclear research and diversified operations. During the period of 1988, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of our institute, the National Nuclear Corporation sent a congratulatory letter, which affirmed the development of our institute in the production and construction of uranium mining and metallurgy, and made an important contribution to the scientific research and production of nuclear fuel for military and civilian use in China. With the continuous adjustment of uranium mining and metallurgy industry to capacity, it has entered a special development period of "protecting the army and converting it to the people", and the vertical scientific research tasks have been reduced year by year; At the same time, the reform of the national science and technology system has intensified, and the business expenses have decreased year by year. Since 1988, the research and development of military and civilian products in our institute has achieved a good momentum of development, and a number of vertical research on military products and gold development of civilian products have achieved steady development. 1989 officially changed its name to Beijing Institute of Chemical Industry and Metallurgy, a subsidiary of China National Nuclear Corporation. 1 July, 19991day, with the approval of the State Council, China National Nuclear Corporation was established on the basis of the former China National Nuclear Corporation, and the nuclear industry entered a new development period. In order to meet the needs of scientific research and development, our institute has successively established "Key Laboratory of Uranium Extraction Metallurgy" and "Beijing Boruisai Technology Co., Ltd." with the approval of higher authorities. Since then, our hospital has entered a new stage of development, opening the door for civilian products to go global. Since 2000, our institute has been market-oriented and benefit-oriented, which has accelerated the pace of scientific and technological innovation and industrialization. In 2002, our institute proposed to become the research and development center of natural uranium nuclear chemistry and chemical industry of China National Nuclear Corporation. At the same time, it is oriented to enterprises, based on technological innovation, and provides high-quality and efficient technical services for uranium Shui Ye factories, mines and nuclear industry-related enterprises. In order to concentrate the scientific research strength of uranium mining and metallurgy, reduce repeated investment, unify the scientific research plan, strengthen coordination and facilitate organization and leadership, in 2002, China National Nuclear Corporation decided to strategically reorganize the scientific research resources of uranium mining and metallurgy, and merged the uranium mining and metallurgy major and its research backbone of the Sixth Research Institute of Nuclear Industry (Hengyang) into the Beijing Institute of Chemical Metallurgy of Nuclear Industry, thus forming a superior scientific research strength of uranium mining and metallurgy. At the beginning of 2003, some scientific research backbones of the Sixth Institute of Nuclear Industry entered our institute, realizing the strategic adjustment of resource integration and strong combination of natural uranium mining and smelting technology research. On this basis, the Beijing Institute of Chemical Metallurgy of the Nuclear Industry has newly established the Institute of In-situ Leaching Technology, which has strengthened the research on in-situ leaching and heap leaching technology. The new team gathered new strength. Since then, our institute has continuously made important progress in the research of in-situ leaching and heap leaching of uranium. In 2004-2005, the collectivization and classification management mode of our institute was initially established, and the Institute of Uranium Metallurgical Technology was reorganized to give full play to the overall advantages of our military's scientific research. Our hospital has made remarkable achievements in all kinds of work. In 2006, our institute was awarded the title of "Advanced Collective of Technological Innovation in National Defense Industry". In 2007, the income from vertical and horizontal scientific research reached the best level in history, and the annual income exceeded 654.38 billion yuan for the first time. After 1979, the Beijing Institute of Chemical Industry and Metallurgy, a nuclear industry, has developed for more than 30 years, and has changed from a single scientific research type serving the military industry to a multidisciplinary and multi-professional comprehensive research institution integrating the research and development of military and civilian products, including uranium Shui Ye technology research, uranium Shui Ye equipment research, fine chemical research, organic material synthesis research, analysis and testing technology and instruments research, environmental governance research and information and intelligence.
