Tianrui Instrument Broadens Heavy Metal Detection Product Line

The heavy metal pollution that has been frequently exposed to the media in recent years has also attracted the attention of the relevant authorities in the country.

On February 18, 2011, the State Council formally approved the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” for comprehensive prevention and control of heavy metal pollution, and plans to invest 75 billion yuan in the next five years to comprehensively prevent and control heavy metal pollution. The "Planning" requires that by 2015, the discharge of heavy metal pollutants such as lead, mercury, chromium, cadmium, and metalloid arsenic in key areas will be reduced by 15% compared with 2007; the heavy metal pollution emissions in non-emphasized areas will not exceed 2007's Level.

The large amount of capital investment shows the government's strength and determination in the treatment of heavy metal pollution. The Ministry of Environmental Protection said that the prevention and control of heavy metal pollution will be the focus of nine environmental protection special operations in 2011, and will effectively monitor and control various key prevention and control industries and enterprises. "Planning" has made stringent rectification measures for key regions, key industries, and key enterprises.

As a leading domestic analytical instrument research and development and manufacturing expert, Tianrui Instruments' X-ray fluorescence spectrometer products have obvious advantages in the field of heavy metal detection. The issuance of the "Planning" has prompted Tianrui to devote more efforts in the field of heavy metal detection.

At the beginning of 2011, Tianrui Instrument adjusted the R&D institutions, subdivided product lines, increased external cooperation, increased R&D capital investment, and strengthened the development and research of heavy metal detection instruments and methods. The strategic inclination of large-scale and the accumulation of existing core technologies enables Tianrui to achieve a series of results in the short term, introducing a variety of products with greater versatility and applicability, and broadening the product line in the field of heavy metal detection.

The “12th Five-Year Plan for Comprehensive Prevention and Control of Heavy Metal Pollution” researches and proposes technical standards, policies, measures, and regulations governing the prevention and control of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, and arsenic. The formulation involves arsenic, lead, mercury, chromium, and cadmium. Heavy metal "high pollution, high environmental risks" product directory, comprehensive investigation and remediation of heavy metal sewage companies, optimize the heavy metal industry structure, improve the heavy metal pollution prevention system, accident emergency response system and environmental and health risk assessment system, and other three monitoring systems for effective Control of heavy metal pollution lays a solid foundation.

“Planning” divides the heavy metal pollutants that are mainly controlled and controlled into two categories: the first category: lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, and arsenic; the second category: germanium, manganese, antimony, nickel, zinc, tin, copper, molybdenum, etc. . The 5 key prevention and control industries are: non-ferrous metal mining (including associated minerals) mining industry, non-ferrous metal smelting industry, lead-containing storage battery industry, leather and its products industry, chemical raw materials and chemical manufacturing industry. The key provinces and districts for comprehensive prevention and control of heavy metal pollution, 138 key prevention and control areas and 4452 key prevention and control enterprises.

At the same time, the plan pointed out that in 2015, a relatively comprehensive system for the prevention and control of heavy metal pollution, an emergency response system, and an environmental and health risk assessment system will be established to solve a number of outstanding problems that will damage the health of the people; The occurrence of heavy metal pollution incidents was high; the discharge of key heavy metal pollutants in key areas was reduced by 15% compared with 2007, and the emissions of key heavy metal pollutants in non-emphasied areas did not exceed 2007 levels, and heavy metal pollution was effectively controlled.
