"It is a great pleasure to see that we Chinese have independently innovated and developed industrial pure iron to the highest international standards. Achieving this level of industrial pure iron, produced through conventional pyrometallurgical methods, lays a solid foundation for special alloys to reach the international high-end level and boosts the confidence of our people. As industrialization progresses, China's demand for steel will gradually decrease, and the situation of oversupply has already formed. Adjustments in the industrial structure and the emergence of innovative achievements will help us overcome difficulties, with industrial pure iron being a typical example. I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Hebei Longfengshan Group and Shanghai University!" said Gan Yong during his speech.

"Iron originates from cosmic evolution and is a representative significant substance symbolizing human civilization's progress. Iron is known as a divine gift. The successful development of the world's only, large-scale production of hyper-pure iron through pyrometallurgy by the Hebei Longfengshan Group is a tremendous contribution by China's steel industry to the global steel industry, which will undoubtedly be recorded in the annals of world steel development." Chen Yuqian commented.

Xing Zhenguo, Deputy General Manager of Hebei Longfengshan Group, introduced that under the leadership of Dong Han, the innovation consortium composed of Shanghai University and Hebei Longfengshan Group has achieved significant breakthroughs in the technology of high-purity iron preparation after five years of research, experimentation, pilot testing, and industrial testing. The purity of iron has been elevated to .% (Class ), entering the international advanced ranks, and significant progress has been made in the preparation technology of ultra-high-purity iron. Firstly, the industrialized fire-based production technology for Class high-purity iron was innovatively developed, achieving a purity of .%, filling an industry gap. Secondly, the wet purification production line was developed for the first time, producing electrolytic iron with a purity of .%. Thirdly, the high-vacuum zone melting purification technology was successfully developed, achieving a purity of .% for Class ultra-high-purity iron. Fourthly, the concept of elemental high-purity iron was first proposed, and the product of elemental high-purity iron was innovatively developed, providing development space for the large-scale, green, and intelligent transformation of special metallurgical equipment. Fifthly, a high-purity iron product standard system for application scenarios was first established, contributing to the high-quality development of the special metallurgical industry and the equipment manufacturing industry.
