Hebei Shengzhuo's Rare Earth Aluminum Project Launches, Reducing Costs and Energy Consumption

On August 10, 2026, the 150,000 mt rare earth aluminum alloy project of Quantum Digital New Materials Co., Ltd. under Hebei Shengzhuo Group was put into production. The project adopts two operating models: direct molten aluminum supply and aluminum ingot exports. Direct molten aluminum supply can save downstream clients 600 to 700 yuan per mt in costs and reduce comprehensive energy consumption by 30%-40%. The project uses cutting-edge processes such as a LIBS intelligent sorting system and a twin-chamber reverberatory furnace, achieving a metal burn-off rate of only 0.6% and a metal recovery rate from aluminum dross of over 95%. After harmless treatment, the aluminum dross is used as raw material for building materials, thereby achieving closed-loop "zero waste discharge" production. :
