Exploratory experiment of non carbon metallurgy with wind-solar hybrid power

Abstract

In order to solve high carbon emission and high consumption of energy in metallurgical industry, and also to solve overcapacity of solar-cell panels, experimental research of non carbon metallurgy was explored, which contained melting in high temperature, producing electrolytic iron and hydrogen production by electrolysis. A complete set of non-carbon metallurgy system should include four technical units: power generation, electric power storage, control module and metallurgy unit. Experimental result indicates enough Energy and high temperature over 1600°C can be provided by non-carbon metallurgy technology, electron also can be offered for hydrogen reduction and electrolysis. This technology also can be used to extract and smelt other metals as Ti, Cu, Ni, Al, Mg.
